Beijing:  Chinese smartphone maker Oppo is now the leader in the home smartphone market with 23 percent market share, followed by Huawei with 17.4 per cent and Vivo with 12 percent, a media report said on Tuesday.

Oppo’s market share right now is also more than both Apple and Samsung combined in China. Apple’s share in China has shrunk to 2014 levels at nine per cent and Xiaomi is at a three-year low of 6.8 percent.

Back in 2014, Company was responsible for less than two percent of the smartphones sold in China.

By June 2015, Company share has grown up to 6.1 per cent and now in June this year, it’s up to a historic high at 22.9 per cent, tech website GSMArena reported.

Prior to this, Huawei and Xiaomi were leading the way. In fact, Xiaomi appears to only make 6.8 percent of China’s smartphones, down from 15.1 percent in the previous year.

Oppo R9, sold elsewhere as Oppo F1 Plus, is the best-selling device in June with five per cent market share.

Oppo will be launching its next selfie-focused smartphone, the F1s, a successor to the popular F1 device, on August 3.

Billed as a “selfie expert,” the device can have some improvements in the camera compared to that of its predecessor but it’s still not confirmed exactly what will be better this time around.
