Institution: China smartphone shipments to decline 10% year-on-year in Q3 2026

Counterpoint Research's latest data shows that China's smartphone shipments in the third quarter of 2026 fell 10% year-on-year, mainly affected by the continued rise in memory prices and a tight supply situation. In terms of market share, Huawei and Apple together accounted for 40.8% of shipments, a significant increase compared with the same period last year. This shows that in a cycle of rising memory costs, a strong high-end market presence can bring a clear share advantage.
