It turned out that its maintenance Xiaomi in second place is not so easy as the Apple, managed to regain second place again for the 3rd quarter of the year.
ΤLast July, at the end of the second quarter of 2021, we heard some very exciting news, as many analysts confirmed that the Apple, lost his place as the second largest OEM smartphone maker in the world.
The company that managed to dethrone Apple from second place was Xiaomi. However, it turned out that its maintenance Xiaomi in second place is not so easy, as now our new data show that the Apple, managed to regain second place again for the 3rd quarter of the year.
So according to IDCThe Apple, managed to sell 50,4 million smartphones in the third quarter of 2021. This number is approx 6,1 million more phones than what the Xiaomi during the same period.
So, if we take into account only this data, the Xiaomi fell again to third place in the world rankings.
However, there are many other factors that determine the final position that OEM manufacturers will take in the top five at the end of the year. Annual missions, for example, can be a much stronger indicator than quarterly measurements.
The revenue that each company has is another strong indicator, as well as in which price category most of the smartphone sales are concentrated (premium, mid-range, low entry devices etc.).
If we take into account the number of smartphones sent per quarter - the Apple, is currently in second place, but it is possible that this will change again, as soon as the aggregate sales made by each company separately are announced by the end of the year.

Of course, the Samsung stays comfortable on top with 69 million phone shipments, about 18,6 million more than Apple, and 24,7 million more than Xiaomi. Finishing fourth and fifth in the top five, we see a tie between Vivo and Oppo, as shown in the list above.
This list is very different from the ones we have seen over the years. There was a period during which Huawei was in the top five, and in fact for a very short period had even managed to surpass it Samsung, conquering the top position. However, the Huawei it no longer appears in the top ten either - and probably will not appear for a long time yet.
