    Shaun Moroz, 29 Oct 2016Huawei is still the 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer in ... moreThis shows that people are either upgrading and some may be choosing a quality starting phone than a basic smartphone, which with may lack to many features from the high end phones

    Apple iPhone are 5300 CNY so well over what the leaders are charging

    Finally there are many comments that these phones are iPhone lookalike, this is wrong, the iPhone5 to iPhone6 kept to the design Apple chose.
    Apple radically changed its design so the iphone6s to iPhone7S is the latest design already being used by many companies
    Rounded edges was not used first by Apple

    The iPhone# plus are NOT phablet as they have a very low display to body ratio, a blatant attempt to build a oversized phone to match the galaxy note dimensions. Just big with big borders

      AnonD-312515, 31 Oct 201632 million down 18 million? That's quite a drop Hooway. Q2 good sales were due to P9.
      They didn't release any flagships in Q3 so it's Meh.
      Q4 will be back up again with Huawei Mate 9

          ???, 31 Oct 2016This news is kind of strange one. If you look here the num... moreThat makes far more sense than Oppo and Vivo's high priced mid range spec products being in the lead. They take their tech far too seriously in China to be fooled by looks.

                Huawei is more concerned of the international market now than China. That is why OPPO has taken over the Chinese market. OPPO is not popular outside Asia. But Huawei Is getting good popularity now for their good quality beautiful build phones in Europe and America. So is OK.

                    The thing is that Oppo and Vivo have price policy so it give more profit to retailer (minimum margin is 15%). On the other hand for Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi or Lenovo, their price is too competitive, so the profit is too small or even loss.

                      aatif khan, 29 Oct 2016OPPO, VIVO and ONE+ have same parent company,BBK. OPPO and... moreAll company under BBK are pretty good. Their android version is like ios, no lags. Half the price of iphone and 3 times higher specs than iphone. Huawei and xiaomi is samsung wannabe. They copied samsung and sell at cheaper price. See dual curved screen they start using. Not bad. Made in China doesnt mean low quality. Beat the crap out of global brands.

                            My mum is using Oppo R9 Plus (The phone itself somewhat look like Apple IPhone), she took a selfie recently and show it to us, the Quality is really nice.
                            Is good to have more brand and product of Smartphone in the Market, price can be competitive and Consumer has more option to purchase it.

                                  Not surprised. They actually manufacture high end phones that look like iPhones , have high end specs and literally a fraction of the price. Meanwhile you have huawei and xiaomi charging a premium, you literallly get exactly the same with oppo mich cheaper. Same quality build specs, etc etc.

I think the time has come where Huawei isn't the only big Chinese player anymore, especially domestically.

                                    Also, Oppo is known for: Good camera, very fast charging, premium build and look, good software support (only in China), price not very high. That along with heavy marketing makes it what Chinese people want. A perfect luxurious good that is affordable.
