Canalys: Huawei surpasses Samsung in Q2 2020 Global Smartphone Market
On July 30 Canalys released a report that Huawei won the global smartphone market for the first time in the second quarter of 2020, surpassing Samsung.
According to published data, Huawei shipped 55.8 million smartphones globally in the second quarter of 2020, down 5% year-on-year; the second-ranked Samsung smartphone shipped 53.7 million units, down 30% year-on-year from the second quarter of 2019.
Ben Stanton, a senior analyst at Canalys, mentioned: “This is a remarkable achievement. Few people would have predicted it a year ago. If it weren’t for the new crown epidemic, it would hardly happen. Huawei makes full use of the opportunity of China’s economic recovery to accelerate Developed the smartphone business. Samsung’s business in China is very small, with a market share of less than 1%. Its core markets, such as Brazil, India, the United States and Europe, have been severely damaged by the outbreak and subsequent blockade.”
Canalys analyst Jia Mo said: “It is of great significance to Huawei to win the first place. Huawei is eager to show its brand strength to domestic consumers, component suppliers and developers. Huawei will be widely disseminated in the coming months. The information on its success has persuaded industry partners to continue to invest resources. However, it is difficult for Huawei to maintain its leading position for a long time. Huawei’s main channel partners in key regional markets such as Europe are becoming more and more cautious about Huawei, purchasing fewer Huawei products and introducing New brands to reduce risks. Once the global economy starts to recover, China’s strength alone will not be enough to maintain Huawei’s ranking as the number one in the world.”

Huawei is getting ready to release a new super-thin phone called the Mate 70 Air. Some details about this phone have already been leaked online, and now a new picture has appeared showing what it looks like.
What the phone looks like
A promotional poster for the Huawei Mate 70 Air was leaked today. The phone looks similar to other phones in Huawei’s Mate 70 family, but it’s much thinner.
The back of the phone has a round camera area with Huawei’s XMAGE camera logo on it. The edges of the phone appear to be shiny and polished. The back cover has a textured surface, similar to another Huawei model called the Mate 70 Pro+.
What’s inside the phone
There isn’t much information available yet, but the Mate 70 Air might be a mid-priced phone. Early reports said it would have 12GB of memory and either 256GB or 512GB of storage space. However, newer information suggests it will actually have 16GB of memory.
The phone is expected to have a large 6.9-inch screen. It will also have a high-quality main camera.
Other features
Unlike Apple’s iPhone Air, the Huawei Mate 70 Air will have a slot for a physical SIM card. The phone will run on Huawei’s HarmonyOS 5.1 software. It will come in three colors: black, white, and gold.
Huawei is expected to launch this phone in November, around the same time as its Mate 80 series.
Tipster Digital Chat Station has confirmed that the Chinese tech giant Huawei will release new phones called the Mate 80 series in November. These new phones will have better designs, cameras, and speed.
The company is expected to compete with Apple’s new iPhone 17 phones. Huawei will make four different Mate 80 phones: the regular Mate 80, Mate 80 Pro, Mate 80 Pro+, and Mate 80 RS. Each phone will have different cameras. The regular Mate 80 will have a 50-megapixel camera.
The Pro version will have a bigger 50-megapixel camera. The Pro+ and RS models will have even bigger 50-megapixel cameras.
The Pro model might have a flat screen and face recognition. The Pro+ and RS models might have curved screens that bend more.
The best phone, the Mate 80 RS, might have a 6.9-inch screen with special technology.
This screen should be brighter, use less battery power, and last longer than normal phone screens. Huawei might also use strong titanium metal for the frame and special glass on the back. Inside the phones, there will be a new chip called the Kirin 9030. The battery might be bigger than 6000mAh and charge very fast – 100W with a wire and 80W without wires. The phones might work with 5G internet and satellite communication.
The phones will use Huawei’s own software called HarmonyOS. This might work better with other Huawei devices and have more AI features. Some people think these improvements will help Huawei compete better with Apple, especially in battery life, communication, and smart features.
A Chinese company called HiSilicon Semiconductor just changed who’s in charge. The old boss, Xu Zhijun, stepped down from his job as the legal representative and chairman. Now the company’s CEO, Gao Ji, is taking over these roles.
Xu has been working at Huawei since 1993 and still has other important jobs there – he’s a vice chairman and sometimes serves as the rotating chairman. Him leaving this position is probably just Huawei moving people around to different jobs within the company.
HiSilicon is completely owned by Huawei and makes computer chips. This change in leadership might mean Huawei is trying to make things work better.
HiSilicon started in October 2004 when Huawei took its computer chip design team and turned it into its own company. The main office is in Shenzhen, but they also have offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and other cities in China.
