The chasing pack in the smartphone industry

The smartphone market is dominated by three companies: Huawei, Apple, and Samsung.

These brands have become the go-to for customers looking for a high-quality smartphone which will last them until their next contract upgrade.

Nokia?

Some of these Chinese manufacturers don't realise the hunger for their competitively priced products outside of Asia. India and China hold roughly 2/7 of the World's population so I guess they don't feel the need to chase new markets.

Nokia?

Indeed, possibly the dark horse.

My 6.1 is fantastic tough beast.

iPhone and Samsung.
Eastern Europe also has some Xiaomi, with Xiaomi dominating the Indian/Chinese/Philippine market.
Google Pixel is actually a well-selling phone in Germany and South Korea.
LG has an actual top ten device in South Korea. Nigeria has the only Sony device that I saw.
Huawei really doesn't seem that large yet, even in South Africa they don't list.

I'm afraid I don't agree with these stats, unless a particular criteria is used. Samsung and Huawei has a grip on the middle class, especially after the release of the P20 and its Lite version. Apple still has a niche market is South Africa and it takes some serious comparison with other brands before one buys it.
