Oppo sank by 8%, to 25.2 million, but Transsion managed not only to increase sales, but to increase by a considerable 22%, to 22.7 million. As a result, the company ranks fifth in the world and becomes one of the strongest players. For most users, Transsion is better known for its brands: Tecno, Infinix and iTel.  

Apparently, the release of cheap and fairly well-equipped smartphones, and even often distinguished by an unusual design, turned out to be the right strategy, including in a crisis.
