Having delivered 25.2 million phones in Q1, Oppo was the fifth-largest smartphone manufacturer for the period. That is a year-over-year decline of 8.5% in shipments and Oppo ended the quarter with an 8.7% global market share.
He added, “While IDC expects these two companies to maintain their hold on the high end of the market, the resurgence of Huawei in China, as well as notable gains from Xiaomi, Transsion, OPPO/OnePlus, and vivo will likely have both OEMs looking for areas to expand and diversify. As the recovery progresses, we’re likely to see the top companies gain share as the smaller brands struggle for positioning.”
