Oppo is the reigning smartphone leader in China

Chinese smartphone brand Oppo is presently leading the home smartphone market of China with 23 percent market share. According to the media report, Oppo is followed by Huawei with 17.4 percent and Vivo with 12 percent.

Noticeably, Oppo’s present share is more than the combined market share of Apple and Samsung. Apple has dwindled down to 2014 levels at 9 percent and Xiaomi is at a three-year low with 6.8 percent.

Just two years back in 2014, Oppo had a meager share of 2 percent in the Chinese market. By June 2015, Oppo's share grew up to 6.1 percent and now in June this year, it's at a historic high of 22.9 percent, tech website GSMArena reported.

Prior to this, it was all about Huawei and Xiaomi in China. Going through tough times, Xiaomi is presently having a low coverage of 6.8 percent of China's smartphones, down from 15.1 percent in the previous year.

Oppo R9, sold elsewhere as Oppo F1 Plus, is the best-selling device in June with five per cent market share.

Oppo will be launching its next selfie-focused smartphone, the Oppo F1s, a successor to the popular Oppo F1 device, on August 3. Billed as a “selfie expert,” the device can have some improvements in the camera compared to that of its predecessor but it’s still not confirmed exactly what will be better this time around.
