"It is likely that Huawei will see its full-year shipments break 100 million units in 2015."
Meanwhile, shipments of other brands LG, Xiaomi and ZTE continued to grow steadily. LG shipped 14.1 million smartphones, down 8.4% sequentially. Bolstered by the continued sales of G4 and new product rollouts, LG is able to sustain its foothold.
Laggards such as Sony and HTC are likely to be trapped in the vicious cycle with relatively small shipments and their sales performances are going to remain disappointing in the short run.
Shipment volume of the global smartphone industry is expected to hit around 353 million units in the third quarter of 2015, up 4.6% sequentially and 6.9% year-on-year.
