The global smartphone market reshuffles

According to CCTV News, in the third quarter of the global smartphone market, Samsung Electronics, Huawei, and Xiaomi ranked among the top three, and Apple ranked fourth. The smartphone shipments of the four top manufacturers accounted for 60.6% of the global market share. Xiaomi is the biggest dark horse, while Apple's mobile phone fell out of the top three, and revenue declined.

The latest data from Counterpoint shows that in the third quarter of this year, the global smartphone market shipments reached 366 million units, an increase of 32% month-on-month and a year-on-year decline of 4%. Among them, Samsung’s shipments were 79.8 million units, an increase of 47% from the previous quarter, a record high in recent years, and returned to the market’s No. 1 position. Affected by the chip ban, Huawei’s shipments were 50.9 million units, a decrease of 7% from the previous month and a year-on-year decline 24%; Xiaomi’s shipments were 46.2 million units, an increase of 75% month-on-month and 46% year-on-year; Apple’s shipments were only 41.7 million units, an increase of 11% month-on-month and a year-on-year decline of 7%. OPPO and vivo shipped 31 million units, up 26% and 38% respectively, ranking fifth and sixth.

Some analysts believe that Samsung's shipment growth has benefited from the recovery of markets in Western Europe, Latin America and India. Xiaomi’s strong growth is attributed to the performance of markets in China, Latin America, Europe and Southeast Asia, and Huawei’s resistance is also part of the reason. The year-on-year decline in Apple’s shipments was due to the iPhone 12’s postponement to the fourth quarter. The growth of OPPO and vivo is mainly derived from overseas markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia.

It is worth noting that the iPhone 12 series, which has just been launched recently, frequently broke out problems. It was accused of cutting corners, poor battery life, fake 5G, and falling into the "green screen door", causing consumer dissatisfaction. Regarding the green screen issue, Apple officially stated that it is investigating and there is no clear answer yet. Apple's customer service in China responded that the initial judgment is a system and software problem, which can be fixed through system updates.

It is inevitable for technology companies to enter the market to build cars

  The matter of building a car has changed. Since 2014, building a car has become the most desirable thing for entrepreneurs.  Not only are successful entrepreneurs working hard to start their second and third ventures, but countless "grassroots" teams have also begun to move around, as if the threshold of building a car was suddenly pulled to non-existent. But facts have proved that there are indeed barriers to building cars, and it limits most players.  Li Bin, the founder and chairman of Weilai  Automobile  , once said that an electric car company needs at least 20 billion yuan to reach mass production. Xiaopeng Motors Chairman He Xiaopeng also sighed: "It used to be an exaggeration to see others making cars. I jumped in and realized that 20 billion is not enough to spend.” In the end, the new car-building forces ran out of three first-tier players, but at the same time it also made people realize how difficult it is for a new company to build cars.

Who is the "stumbling block" that prevents Tesla from going to the countryside?

  New energy is the trend of automobiles, and the sinking market is the vast world of new energy automobiles.  However, for many new energy vehicle brands, there is still a long and rugged mountain road to go before they truly reach the "willows and flowers in another village". New energy vehicles are accelerating toward the sinking market, looking for new incremental space. However, for more new energy vehicle brands, how to break the dilemma of low prices in the sinking market, increase the added value of products, and obtain more profits in addition to the increase in sales are long-term problems that need to be faced. On the other hand, after  Baidu  , Xiaomi also intends to enter the game. Traditional car companies continue to launch new new energy brands, and more and more players are entering the game. In 2020, the power of new cars will usher in strong growth, and  Tesla  will also achieve sales of over 100,000 vehicles in the Chinese market.  Many high-end brand new
