Samsung has steady and rapid growth. Huawei dropped and lost 6.90% market in the last 8 months (January – August). Apple iPhone has significant growth even before it meets the iPhone releasing month, September. Oppo and Nokia also missed the growth, but Xiaomi, Vivo and Realme brands seemingly capture the marketing gabs of Huawei.
Apart from these eight brands, Sony (0.65%), OnePlus (0.52%), Infinix (0.47%) phones have some reasonable market share. HTC, ZTE, and Google Pixel are not in race, but they too have a small number of users.
I think Huawei is gone from the race
