5G mobile phone sales in the third quarter: Huawei accounts for 30.7% of the market, Apple accounts for 12.5%, less than half of Huawei

As we all know, Huawei is well-known in the 5G field. As the company with the most patents in this field, its technology in the 5G field is also very strong. It is precisely because of this that the company was affected by the United States, causing its mobile phone shipments to decline.

However, Huawei still has previously stored chips and a new system, Hongmeng, in this field, which still allows Huawei to achieve good results. In the 5G mobile phone sales list in the third quarter of 2021, Huawei once again ranked first, firmly sitting in the first place in the domestic market share. Specifically, in this list, Huawei ranks first with a market share of 30.7%. Compared with the share in the second quarter, although it has declined, it still ranks first.

It is worth noting that Huawei's 5G mobile phone market share is firmly in the first place this time, mainly relying on the company's old models such as nove7, P40 Pro, and Mate 30. It can be said that they are still one of the best in the high-end mobile phone industry. However, in these old models, Huawei still uses the chips stored before. In other words, these chips will run out sooner or later, and by then, Huawei may face a significant reduction in shipments.

In this list, Xiaomi, which is known for its cost-effectiveness, did not have a very good market share, only 10.5%, ranking fifth on the list. Other well-known domestic mobile phone brands, vivo and OPPO, ranked second and third with market shares of 16.1% and 14.6% respectively.

It can be seen that Huawei's market share is far ahead, and there is a certain gap with the second-place vivo. So, where does Apple, which released the iPhone 13 in 2021, rank in this list?

It is worth noting that the sales of iPhone 13 this year are quite hot, and its orders exceeded 5 million units in just 5 days. In other words, the average daily order can be as high as 1 million. It is precisely because of this that its official website has reached a state where it is impossible to squeeze in on the first day of sale.

However, even so, Apple's market share in 2021 is not that good. Not only did it not surpass Huawei, but it was also lower than OPPO and vivo. In this list, Apple ranked fourth with a market share of 12.5%. From this, it can be seen that Apple's 5G mobile phone sales in the third quarter of 2021 were less than half of Huawei's.

However, it is worth noting that although Huawei has a dominant position in sales in my country in the third quarter of this year, its situation is completely different internationally.

You should know that in the third quarter of 2020, Huawei ranked second in the global mobile phone sales list, but in the same quarter of 2021, Huawei's international sales had fallen out of the top five. Compared with last year's data and domestic data, the gap is relatively large.

In the third quarter of 2020, Apple ranked fourth in international sales. This year, its sales reached about 50 million units, ranking second in the international list. Not only that, this year, Apple's iPhone 12 mobile phone sales can be said to be a big win. According to the data, as of the third quarter of 2021, iPhone 12 has ranked first in the most popular list for three consecutive times, accounting for 6.6%.

In addition, its iPhone12 Pro Max also followed closely behind and ranked second, accounting for 3.3%. Compared with these two models, Huawei's nova7 was slightly inferior, ranking third with a share of 3.2%.

It is worth noting that because Apple launched new models this year, it ranked first in the list of new 5G mobile phones in the third quarter of 2021 with a share of 26%. In comparison, Huawei's share was slightly lower, ranking second with 19.5%.

For Huawei, the decreasing number of stored chips is indeed one of the major problems. However, Hongmeng, which has the characteristics of connecting thousands of households, will play a significant role in the future. You should know that so far, the number of Huawei's new system upgrades has exceeded 170 million, and it is expected to reach 200 million connected devices by the end of the year.
