The analysts reported that switching 2019 strategies lead to improving some results, such as Samsung and its Galaxy A lineup and Apple’s relatively more affordable iPhone 11. The non-Pro phone was actually the reason Apple to be the top smartphone maker in Q4 2019, surpassing Samsung and gaining 18% of the total smartphone market.

Other interesting takeaways from the report are that Realme is now a Top 10 manufacturer with an overwhelming 483% jump in sales, while Xiaomi remained the top player in India during the full 12 months of 2019. Sales of 5G smartphones accounted to only 1% of all the 1.486 billion shipments, but Counterpoint expects the share to reach 18% in 2020.
