Global smartphone shipments grew two percent in the third quarter of 2019, according to Strategy Analytics, the first period of positive device sales growth for two years. Precisely why that happened is the issue. Strategy Analytics believes 5G and demand for larger screens is the cause.
A separate study by Counterpoint Research suggests sales in India and China explain the growth.
“The global smartphone market ended a long period of continuous year-over-year declines in the third quarter of 2019 due to increased shipments in India and China, Shobhit Srivastava, Counterpoint Research analyst argues.
Samsung maintained first position with 21 percent global smartphone market share, Huawei rose to a record 18 percent, while Apple held 12 percent market share in third place, Strategy Analytics says.
