Although Mate X3 is not available globally
Huawei has long fallen out of the list of smartphone leaders, and given the US sanctions, it is unlikely to return there shortly. However, somehow Huawei has managed to beat everyone in at least one important market segment.
Huawei performed a miracle and somehow beat Samsung.
According to analysts at Omdia, in the second quarter of this year, Huawei was able to overtake Samsung and become the market leader in foldable smartphones in the book form factor with a share of 32.9%. And all this thanks to the Mate X3 model, which, recall, is sold almost exclusively in China.
Yes, in the second quarter, Samsung also offered the Galaxy Z Fold4, which may have been weak in sales amid the expected release of the Fold5, but in any case, all Fold models are sold everywhere, while the Mate X3 is available primarily only in China.
Unfortunately, the source in the free report does not provide either the share of Samsung or sales data in quantitative terms.
