Lately, we have Huawei as the best brand smartphone for offline sales in China for last month revenue. Now, Oppo ranks No.1 smartphone maker in Chinese smartphone market.

Oppo: No.1 smartphone maker of June

June 2016 was very good for Chinese makers. It is Huawei for office sales and now it is Oppo for sell-through segment without much of a presence in many key European markets or the US. Oppo is a company that we have heard about every now and then, especially in Asia since most of their products were sold in such region. Now Apple and Samsung seem to put their eyes on No.1 smartphone maker.

According to the latest “Monthly Market Pulse”, Oppo made up 23% market share in June for overall China demand including both offline and online smartphone orders. As the graph below shows that Oppo is the number one smartphone maker in the country, which is followed by Huawei with 17.4% and Vivo with 12%. Back in 2014, when Oppo made its first appearance, Oppo had less than 2% of smartphone market share in China.

It grew to 6.1% smartphone market in 2015. The growth in 2016 was tremendous thanks to Oppo F1 Plus as well as Oppo R9 which was the best-selling phone in China in June 2016. At the same time, Apple’s share in China has walked backward to 2014 levels at 9% share, and Xiaomi made up only 6.8% market share despite its continuous smartphone release. Oppo is going to launch Oppo F1S and it is expected to expand its market share in August.

Oppo: how to save No.1 smartphone maker position

What will Oppo do to keep their crown from falling to Huawei for the year’s June-ending second quarter? Huawei follows in second place, more than 5 percentage points away from the new 22.9% share. Huawei and Xiaomi will never let Oppo to be the king in the next month. That is the reason why they release many new smartphones to different segment markets. Who will be the next No.1 smartphone maker?

Huawei and Xiaomi has been in the racing game for a long time. But now we can know which is the best brand smartphone. Not just two phone makers’ story, it is a list of 10 others.

Huawei ranks number one on the list

Huawei has shown that they are working hard for the best future of Huawei smartphones. And now their efforts are rewarded. Lately, Huawei is spotted as the best brand smartphone on a Chinese website whose name is “the first handset world”. This site posted sales which was made in June by phone manufacturers in China. The statistics are for offline sales, made in 25 provinces and 167 cities from the major chain stores around the areas covered.

Like what I said, it is not a surprise that Huawei comes in at the top of the chart. Especially thanks to the success of Huawei P9 and its siblings. Also the famous and hopeful Honor lineup sits at 13th position, which contributes to Huawei’s victory. Besides, Oppo and Vivo also maintain the second and third spots respectively. Samsung may account for 37% of US smartphone sales but in China, things happened in an opposite way. The unwell-known company Gionee overtook Samsung’s position (number 5) to move up to number 4 as one of top best brand smartphones.

 

Talking about Apple, US’best brand smartphone has dropped 2 positions and stopped at number 6. That is for June, can not imagine where Apple will be in the next month because the Chinese seems not interested in Apple any more. Behind it is a big political story. Moving on, Coolpad retains the 7th position and Meizu follows closely at number 8. Furthermore, according to the report global tech market research firm TrendForce, Huawei also ranks number one on the list of top five Chinese brands including strong brands like Oppo, Vivo, Lenovo, and Xiaomi.

And where is Xiaomi? Is at the best brand smartphone as well?

Xiaomi comes in at number 9 after losing their former position to Meizu. This is not a surprise as the tech giant has sold majority of its phones online, even though the company has started offline sales. So at the end, such sale chart can not show everything about the best brand smartphone, it is just an aspect of their business.
