        [deleted post]Those 4G Huawei mobile routers are
        practical. Why can't Apple and Google make them?

          Samsung - daylight robbery especially with Exynos phones

          Apple - still good enough

          Xiaomi - excellent phones...worth the price

          Huawei - slow death...RIP

            There were many causes that led to all these increases in BBK and Xiaomi shipments in the last 2-3 years. The fall of Huawei being the most important one.
            Also, if you look at Xiaomi or BBK phones 5 years ago they were where Sony is right now (percentage wise). In a way is normal to have positive results in recent years.
            Of course, you may ask, why didn't HTC or Sony or LG or Nokia have the same figures in recent years? Well, sadly for them they targeted other crowds and they made lots of managerial mistakes.

            Anyway, I would like to see a total number of users worldwide per each company (that will be an even more interesting statistic, at least for me). Especially for those "Others". I tried to find something like this, but couldn't.
            Shipments means how many people bought that company phones in a particular period. But other people who already own some phones and didn't buy any new one should still be important in some statistics, imo.

                I wonder why other Chinese companies weren't affected by trade war.

                      There are other ways to assign social credit scores , surveillance you over the internet and being sent to prison for conflicting views

                      Why I feel sorry for you is that for people like you these things happen to you without you even realising but you aren't aware because it is not in the physical form you've trained your eyes or bias to


                      Don't worry buddy social media will help with shadow banning people , sell your data profiles and much more

                      But you might be blinded by glittery hindsight of history

                      You would even think prison is just a jail cell huh?

                      Are you unaware don't you see people getting the degrees that they want and getting huge debt that may take decades to pay off but maybe being in debt doesn't fit the historical image from what imprisonment is right?

                      Utopia is just another extreme and it doesn't exist jumping from one extreme to another is ridiculous

                          Seems like the fall of Huawei gave a huge boost to other Chinese smartphone companies

                            BBK Group, Oppo Vivo Realme OnePlus, combined marketshare should be number 1 on that list,, cmiiw

                                Also, glad to see Huawei's out of the top list. Those are great news indeed

                                  Xiaomi is damn impressive. Extremly satisfied with my current Mi phone (had it for 2 years now). Hats off!

                                    [deleted post]Everywhere you go you will find good and bad people. I just don't want to live in a country that assigns me a social score, or where if I want to surf the internet I need to get my face scanned.
                                    I live in an ex-com country and it is A LOT better now than then. People had never eaten an orange or a banana in their lives, very low quality food that was rationed per person, eating meat was a dream, nothing to buy in any store, people being assigned with jobs that had nothing to do with their intellectual degrees, not being allowed to travel in other countries, being constantly surveillanced, being sent to prison for tens of years or killed if you were a member of the lgbtq community or for simply having different political or religious views.
                                    Today it's full of dumb people defending something that they have absolutely no idea of, people that never lived in those conditions or even traveled there. Why? Because they are blinded by some glittery phone brand that has only the biggest state in the world behind it.
                                    Go ahead, throw the hate jokes, but when they'll rule over the world (hopefully never), you'll all remember what I've said here.
                                    We need Utopia, not communism!
