Samsung and Oppo phones: SEA domination

Southeast Asia is one of the most populous areas in the world. This region also has one of the largest phone consumption in the market. Recently, IDC (International Data Corporation) has just shown their sales research for this region. According to the report, the phone consumption rate has risen 6.5% this year compared to 2015. Samsung and Oppo are the two brands having the biggest number of phones used here.

Standing at the top spot is Samsung with 20% market shares. Right after that is the company from China – Oppo. It seems that this brand has firmly consolidated its position in the Southeast Asia. Last year, this Chinese brand sold over 50 million phones in this religion. This is not a surprise because their marketing campaigns are really impressive. The third place goes to a Thai company – Thai True. Asus from Taiwan and Lava from India take the fourth and fifth position respectively.

So, let’s have a look at the two recent noticeable Samsung and Oppo phones. First is Galaxy Note 7 from Samsung. This phone has a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and 4GB RAM. It also features one of the best cameras right now: 12MP+5MP back and front combo. Oppo has F1s which is considered the expert selfie at the moment. This handset owns two 16MP cameras on the back and front. It runs on an octa-core MT6750 with 3GB RAM.

High-end Apple iPhones: not on the list

Apple does not show up in this list. This is understandable because iPhones are aimed at the high-end segment with high prices. Meanwhile, Samsung and Oppo branches to more segments, and a lot of phones from these two brands are much cheaper in comparison. Beautiful designs, strong specs, and affordable prices are the main factors making these brands successful in SEA market. Do you own a Samsung or Oppo phone? Share with us!
