Based on a report from the International Data Corporation (IDC), the Chinese smartphone market witnessed shipments of around 58.06 million units in the third quarter of 2026, marking a 15.2% year-on-year drop. Amidst this general market slump, Huawei managed to achieve double-digit year-on-year growth in shipments. This remarkable performance can be attributed to its strategy of product diversification and its relatively moderate price hikes, which set it apart from the competition.
