In other news, Huawei recently became the world's second-largest smartphone seller following Samsung in the second calendar quarter of 2018. According to data released by market research firms IDC, Canalys, Counterpoint Research and IHS Markit, Huawei shipped more than 54 million handsets in the second quarter of the year.
"The importance of Huawei overtaking Apple this quarter cannot be overstated," Canalys analyst Ben Stanton said, as quoted by The Guardian. "It is the first time in seven years that Samsung and Apple have not held the top two positions... Huawei's momentum will obviously concern Samsung, but it should also serve as a warning to Apple, which needs to ship volume to support its growing services division," he added.
