As of the end of the first quarter of this year, Huawei had a 40 percent share of global 5G handset shipments, ahead of Samsung to rank No. 1 in the world, Huawei said today at the Huawei Cloud Internet Summit.

This morning, the National Bureau of Statistics released data on China's economy for the first half of the year.

In June 2020, China's mobile phone market shipped 286.3 million units, down 16.6% year-on-year, according to a report released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT).

The new coronavirus outbreak caused Samsung shipments to plummet, as a result less affected Huawei may overtake it as world's No. 1 in the second quarter.

TikTok saw more than $90.7 million in user spending, 8.3 times its revenue in June 2019, to rank as the top grossing non-game app worldwide for June 2020, Sensor Tower data showed.

In the first quarter of this year, quad-camera phones accounted for almost 20 percent of global smartphone shipments. OPPO, Xiaomi, Huawei and Samsung together account for 83 percent in the nearly 60 million quad-camera smartphone shipments globally, according to a Counterpoint report.

China's mobile Internet traffic maintained rapid growth, with per capita mobile Internet access traffic exceeding 10GB in May, according to a report released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

As of the end of May, the number of apps monitored in China was 3.6 million, up by 0.3% from April, according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

In April, Huawei overtook Samsung for the first time to become the world's largest smartphone maker. Now, the latest figures show that Huawei still held the lead in May, but the gap with Samsung has narrowed.

Apple sold 3.6 million iPhones in China in May, down 7.7 percent from 3.9 million iPhones sold in April but was up from 3.05 million a year earlier, according to market research firm CINNO.
