Pandemic shrugged off

China's smartphone shipments increased more than threefold in February 2021 from a year ago, government data published on Thursday showed.

The announcement shows a rebound from last year's fall as the pandemic peaked in China.

Shipments of smartphones within China jumped 236.6 percent annually to 21.3 million handsets in February, according to the China Academy of Information and Communications (CAICT), a state-backed think tank.

That was up from 6.3 million in February 2020 and higher than the 14.9 million in February 2019, suggesting China's smartphone sector has returned to its pre-pandemic levels.

Manufacturing glitches and a lagging consumer economy marred China's smartphone sector as COVID-19 spread in early 2020, but the industry has mostly recovered along with the broader economy.
