Will Huawei overtake Apple?

Huawei announced yesterday its new Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro smartphones, and the Chinese giant's objective is clear: to dethrone Samsung and Apple from the leadership in the global smartphone market, in 5 years.

And the latest forecasts released by the ICD - International Data Corporation? reveal that Huawei may be able to occupy the second position in the ranking of smartphone manufacturers as early as next year (or even this year), taking Apple's place.

Francisco Jerónimo, Research Director for Mobile Devices in Europe at IDC, says that it won't be long before Apple loses its position in the smartphone market to Huawei. In fact, Apple isng to feel some slowdown in sales (is everything waiting for the iPhone X?), while Huawei continues to grow rapidly in the global market. Nowadays, the difference between these two brands is very small, with Huawei having 11.3% market share, against Apple's 12%.

On the other hand, it must be said that these IDC forecasts go against what some analysts have been predicting, betting on Apple's recovery once the iPhone X arrives. So we will still have to wait to see if these predictions are confirmed, but for now, the ?fight? for the market leadership among the 3 giants ? Samsung, Apple, and Huawei - promises to get even more intense.
