Further in the list of competitors is such companies as Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo with market shares of 10.2 percent, 7 percent and 6.8 percent.

Such an increase in sales experts explain very simply - smartphone users began to understand that the price does not always mean quality, and began to choose cheaper, but not less functional phones.
