Best selling smartphones: Chinese phones rule the list

Not only in domestic market, Chinese smartphone companies also rule in the international markets like India. Huawei – one of the biggest brand in China- is a typical example. In the last few years, this Chinese company has given its best shot and become one the largest smartphone companies of the world. However, it just the 3rd largest smartphone, because the top two positions belong to Samsung and Apple. These companies lead the charge of the best selling smartphones in Q1 2016.

And recently, IC Insights- an industry tracker- has just given the report of best worldwide smartphone sales leaders in Q1 2016. And it’s not a surprise when 8 out of the 12 companies are Chinese brands. Those companies take the 3rd place to 6th position and from 8th position to 11th place. The 7th and 12sc places belong to LG (Korea) and Micromax (India). The final position in this top 12 could have gone to another Chinese manufacturer – Gionee. This company shipped 4.8 million smartphones in the 1st quarter this year, just missing 200.000 units compared to India brands – Micromax.

Next, the 4th place goes to Oppo while Xiaomi and Vivo take the 5th and 6th spot. Finally, ZTE, Lenovo, TCL, Meizu are standing in the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th position respectively. Lenovo seems like to lose its spot when its growth rate decreased 26%. In the contrast, Oppo raises to the 4th place with the growth rate increasing up to 54%. Compared to the top 12 last year, Sony, Coolpad, and Microsoft are out of the list of top 12 best selling smartphones. As they only sold 3.4 million, 4 million and 2.3 million smartphones in the Q1 of 2016.

LeEco: a potential nominee next year

Chinese smartphone companies are gradually taking the other brands down. With strong specs and competitive prices, the Chinese smartphones are expected to continue ruling the list in the upcoming years. LeEco is a potential brand who is gaining market shares in China and India as well. We think that this one can be on the list next year.

Huawei sues Samsung for violating patents

Huawei sues Samsung – its main rival in the smartphone market- in 2 countries. The China company claims that the giant from Korea has infringed its patents for so many years.
 Huawei sues Samsung for violating patents

Huawei sues Samsung: 12 patents were violated 

Huawei is now the biggest smartphone company in China. It also has become the third-largest smartphone vendor in the world. Samsung is an old big giant in the smartphone market. It has been a worldwide sale king in this market for several years. Recently, these two big companies have been involved in a lawsuit about the patent infringement. Huawei has been spending a huge money in patent files (50,377 patents on Dec. 31, 2015). And now, Samsung violated those patents.

According to Huawei, the giant from South Korea infringed its 12 patents. 8 of them related to cellular networks. The remains are smartphones. Samsung is said to use Huawei’s 4G cellular communications technology, operating systems, and user interface software. And it already used this 4G LTE technology 5 years ago. This was the time when the Korea company released its flagship the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Huawei sues Samsung for violating patents

Huawei sues Samsung in both the US and China. It asks for compensation for the patent violation. The Korea company hasn’t given any confirmation or denial yet. Samsung’s representative just said that the company will ” review the complaint and take appropriate action to defend Samsung’s business interests”. Hopefully, this suit won’t last for so many years like the last one. Because it definitely will cost both of them a lot.

Samsung’s patent violation: not the first time

This is not the first time that Samsung involved in a patent lawsuit like this. In 2011, the big Apple sued against the Korea giant. Apple said Samsung copied the design, technology and user interface of its iPad and iPhone. And Samsung counter-sued. This lawsuit lasted for 4 years. Within 4 years, both companies lost a lot of money.

New 4GB RAM Flagship War: Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi5 Pro vs Huawei P9 Max

This month is so busy but we love it since many 4GB RAM smartphones are on sale, including Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro (2016), Xiaomi Mi5 Pro, and Huawei P9 Max. Let’s see how they can compete in the following comparison!

Looking at the table, we can notice the phones’ similarities easily. For example, all of them have the same powerful 4GB RAM, the latest Android Marshmallow OS, fantastic camera combos, dual SIMs, and fingerprint scanners. Though, there are also many important differences we need to note. First of all, it is display. Both Huawei P9 Max and Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro are big phablets with around 6.0-inch screens. But if you prefer something handier, Xiaomi Mi5 Pro is the perfect choice. In terms of resolution, P9 Max is definitely the winner thanks to sporting 2K res.

As for processor, we think Snapdragon 652, Snapdragon 820 and Kirin 950 are all strong to perform any task you want, yet the SD820 can slightly have advantages. About ROM capacity, the Mi5 Pro is the champion once again, up to 128GB of internal storage. However, it does not support a microSD card slot to expand the memory. Anyway, we guess 128GB is already much enough for everything. Do you agree?

Official Xiaomi Mi5

In the final paragraph, we would like to talk about battery and camera. No doubt the A9 Pro is the best here because of its massive 5,000mAh cell. You can use the phone in more than 3 days. So cool, rite?! And for main camera, both A9 Pro and Mi5 Pro own 16MP shooters which are great, yet we think the P9 Max’s dual 12MP rear snapper is more special. On the orther hand, when it comes to selfies, we cannot tell you exactly which one is the strongest. Although P9 Max and A9 Pro have 8MP sensors which surely can produce gorgeous pics of yourself, the Mi5 Pro’s 4MP UltraPixel sensor is not something they should look down on. Mi5 Pro’s secondary snapper can totally bring high-res selfies with high contrast and pleasant colors. So, in the end, it is pretty hard for us to pick out the winner. Can you help us?

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi5 Pro vs Huawei P9 Max: Price and availability

As you know, Galaxy A9 Pro and Mi5 Pro and Huawei P9 Max have been announced recently. Anyhow, their costs have already been unveiled: Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro price is $540; Xiaomi Mi5 Pro price is $415; and Huawei P9 Max price will be around $700. The Mi5 Pro is the most affordable here and its hardware is also powerful excellent. Then, we would like to choose it as the champion today. What’s your thinking?
