China Smartphone Market has recently
lost its momentum, and recorded t
he negative smartphone shipment growth for five consecutive quarters, and it is expected that Q4 2018 would not be an exception.
In addition, China Smartphone market is
losing its diversity as
only Big Five OEM's, Huawei, Oppo, vivo, Xiaomi and Apple captured almost 90% of the market with 1.4B population while
all other Non-Big-Five-Players are forgotten or turning their eyes on other countries for survival.
Above all,
most of local smartphone players except HOVX are losing its momentum, which would make the situation worse. However,
the loss of diversity in addition of the declining local vendors would be able to give some vendors, such as Samsung, a chance to survive with its
revolutionary smartphone form-factor because Human Being would love to experience something innovative and new.
