Global smartphone sales volume will dip in 2019 and rebound in 2020. Under the ongoing US ban, we expect Huawei would commercially launch its own proprietary operating system late 2019 in China, and extend into more overseas markets from 2020 onwards. Although Android will remain as the largest smartphone operating system over the forecast window, its dominating position will be undermined by the new Huawei OS, especially in China. Apple iOS share will dip slightly in 2019 and stabilize in 2020 and afterward.
