China shanghais the smartphone business

Chinese companies are swamping the top of the pops of smartphone makers and while Samsung and Apple are the main brand leaders, companies based behind the Great Wall take up the rest of the spots.

The top Chinese brand is Huawei, which sold 28.9 million units. It might be a long way behind Samsung with its 81.5 million sold and Apple’s 51 million but the fact that the other spots are taken up by other Chinese makers indicates that the market has shifted.
