The global smartphone market declined 1% YoY, fell under 1.5 billion devices.

It's not easy for Huawei in Europe that's why the sale drop at Q4 ......but they will surely overcome it....I still feel iPhone is the best selling Phone considering they only produce 3 phones in a year ..while the like of Samsung , Huawei Oppo Vivo Xiaomi etc have more phones in a year ....I Just like Huawei....they should just bring on Harmony OS , I know that's d reason why they are serious with their own HMS first ......if all China phones manufacturers dump android then Google will know what's up....Someone like me only use Gmail out of all Google Apps...Google can't control my life the way it control others .....That's why I will always buy Huawei Phones...

    Anonymous, 31 Jan 2020"looks like the ban have no effect" Ban have had big neg... moreAnd most of their phones sold worldwide were just "rebranded" old phones in order to ship with the GPS. That's why a lot of them were on android 9 with emui 9.

      We knew it! Easily predictable Huawei. I've never seen such a jelly company as Huawei. All the Apple, Sammy (even LG, besides its mobile, reported good news) great news lately always make Huawei feel some type of way.

        Huawei shipped more phones inspite of ban.
        Apple as usual declining on number of units sold.
        Good to see people choosing devices which offer quality over just brand name.

          I got to learn lot new information about having Huawei phones without Google. Based on what i saw today i will say Huawei is in lot bigger trouble than i first expected.

          When people say they can live without Google services, i don't think they really know what that means.

          For example uber can't work, neither netflix or many other apps because those apps uses "Google play services" in background. Netflix just won't start, it gives that pop up window.

          Also from top 150 app list huawei own app place only had 18 apps available.

          Huawei current situation can be compared to Windows phone situation and we all know how it ended. You just have to have Everything what others offer or you are pretty much screwed outside China where people anyway use their own apps and services.

              Ban have had big negative impact already last q, just look huawei Q4 sales, sales were down 10 million From q3 and holiday quarter should be biggest. Also in EU there really isn't phones in stores without Google yet, so the negative effect going to be bigger and bigger this year.

              Also don't forget that Huawei expected to sell 300 million phones last year and in reality they sold 238 million.
