Showing a sign of recovery, the global smartphone market saw 380 million units in shipments, as compared to 379.8 million units in Q3 2018, Counterpoint Research said on Thursday.
Samsung led the market with 21 percent share with strong demand for its A and Note smartphone series, while Huawei reached a record high with 18 percent share.
"The global smartphone market ended a long period of continuous YoY declines in Q3 2019 due to increased shipments in India and China," said Shobhit Srivastava, Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research.
The top three brands, Samsung, Huawei and Apple, together cornered almost half of the smartphone market, with the rest of the market left for hundreds of other brands to compete fiercely.
Apple iPhone shipments were down 4 percent, and as a result, revenues fell 11 percent YoY.
