According to Counterpoint, China's smartphone sales in October 2023 will increase by 8% in the first week, 7% in the second week, 11% in the third week, and 18% in the fourth week compared to the previous year. On a monthly basis, it was an 11% increase compared to the previous year.
The annual growth rate of sales by vendor was 83% year-on-year growth for Huawei, 33% year-on-year growth for Xiaomi, and 10% year-on-year growth for Honor.
The reason why Huawei is growing so much is because the ``Mate 60'' equipped with the Kirin 9000 processor has gained explosive popularity, and analyst Archie Chan described it as ``remarkable growth.'' There was a halo effect in which other vendors also benefited from Huawei's strong performance.
In addition, Huawei is equipped with a multi-device OS 'HarmonyOS' forked from Android on its terminals. 'HarmonyOS NEXT' scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2024 will shift to using its own runtime and Android applications will not be able to run, but in line with this, Chinese companies are progressing with application development for HarmonyOS. As a result, big changes may be coming to Chinese-made apps.
