Ryan Reith, program vice president with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Device Trackers, said, "The continued growth of Huawei is impressive, to say the least, as is its ability to move into markets where, till recently, the brand was largely unknown. it's worth noting that Apple moved into the top position each of the last 2 holiday quarters following its product refresh, therefore it's likely we'll see continued movement among the highest ranked companies in 2018 and beyond.
For most markets, the ultra-high end ($700+) competition is largely some combination of Apple, Samsung, and Huawei, depending on the geography, and this is often unlikely to change much in the short term. At the same time, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo ar all slowly pushing their client base upstream at a price tier slightly lower than the top 3. this is an area they must all watch closely because the builds during this segment are getting progressively} more advanced."
