As per the latest report from Master Lu, Huawei and Honor combined has a market share of 25.8 percent in terms of Android smartphones in China. Huawei is leading the market with 15.36 percent market share while Honor ranks second with 10.45 percent market share.

This is quite interesting that despite the overall decline in the Chinese mobile phone market, Huawei’s market share keeps on growing and the cumulative shipments in the first three quarters have exceeded 185 million units.

Recently, Huawei revealed that the company’s revenue topped 850 billion Chinese yuan (approximately $122 billion) this year, a new record high for the Chinese group, registering an 18 percent increase over the previous year.

It also added that the company has sold 240 million smartphones in the year 2019, a significant increase compared to 206 million units last year. This is impressive given that the company achieved such numbers even after getting banned in the United States.

Huawei’s smartphone business became its biggest revenue contributor in the first half of this year. The Chinese company is expected to remain ahead of Apple and behind South Korea’s Samsung Electronics in the global rankings of smartphone brands.
