Huawei reclaims top spot in China's phone market: data
Tech giant Huawei topped China's smartphone market for the first time in over four years. Image: Reuters Tech giant Huawei topped China's smartphone market for the first time in over four years, outflanking US tech giant Apple as well as local competitors including Xiaomi, according to the US-based International Data Corporation (IDC). The Shenzhen device maker captured 18.1% of the local phone market in the second quarter of this year, shipping 12.5 million units, an IDC report published on Tuesday showed. Huawei's domestic rebound comes after the company has faced a smattering of US export controls, Western bans and a graft probe in Belgium. China's overall smartphone market shrank after six quarters of growth, according to the IDC data, with shipments totalling 69 million units, down 4% on-year. "Despite the recent US-China trade truce, the broader economic environment presents ongoing challenges, with consumer confidence remaining subdued," Arthur Guo, a senior research analyst at IDC, said in the report. "This suggests that a significant uplift in smartphone demand is unlikely in the immediate term, and the market will navigate a more complex landscape in the second half of the year."

Next Stay Close ✕ China's economy grew more than 5% in the second quarter, official figures showed, despite the tariff chaos unleashed by US President Donald Trump. Huawei has been at the centre of an intense standoff between the world's top two economies after Washington warned the company's equipment could be used by Beijing for espionage, an allegation the company denies. Sanctions since 2019 have curtailed the firm's access to US-made technologies, forcing it to develop its own components. California-based Apple has been suffering a slump in iPhone sales in China, and last year ceded its status as the country's best-selling smartphone brand to two local rivals. In the IDC report, Apple came in fifth on the list, retaining 13.9% of China's smartphone market and shipping 9.6 million units. AFP

Samsung gambles on its slimmer but costlier new foldable phones to fend off Chinese challengers
Yet analysts predict foldable smartphones will remain a niche segment, now accounting for just 1.5% of the market. Samsung Electronics unveiled thinner, lighter new foldable phones in New York on 9 July, as it aims to fend off Chinese competition in the higher-margin, premium segment that remains untapped by archrival Apple. The stakes are high. The South Korean company lost its global smartphone crown to Apple in 2023 and faces growing competition from Chinese rivals such as Huawei and Honor. Meanwhile, Samsung's mainstay chip business has suffered a profit slump stemming in part from its delayed supply of artificial intelligence (AI) chips to Nvidia. Samsung's mobile president and chief operating officer, Choi Won-joon, said his most important mission was to make Samsung a leader in AI-powered smartphones. 'I believe that foldable phones, integrated with AI features, are ready to become mainstream by offering [a] unique, differentiated experience,' he told Reuters in his first media interview since being promoted in March. He said Samsung aimed to take a leadership position in AI by enhancing cooperation with external partners such as Google – unlike Apple, which has been using in-house AI technology that has faced delays in adding key features. Samsung also unveiled its first smartwatches equipped with Google's AI voice assistant, Gemini, which can make recommendations to the wearer, such as good locations for a run, for instance. Samsung said in April that it was pushing ahead with a premium product strategy as US tariffs threatened to dampen demand and raise component costs. The smartphone maker increased the US price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by 5% from its predecessor Fold 6, and it will cost $1,999. It also introduced a less-expensive version of its Galaxy Z Flip 7 clamshell phone, Flip 7 FE, priced at $899. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is equipped with Qualcomm's fast processor, Snapdragon 8 Elite, whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is powered by Samsung's in-house Exynos chips. Analysts said Samsung's new models tackled some of the issues with foldable phones, such as bulkiness, and would create a premium halo around the brand. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 weighs 10% less than its predecessor and is 26% thinner. But high prices and a lack of use cases mean foldable phones are likely to remain a niche segment, the analysts said. Data from the research firm IDC showed they account for just 1.5% of the total smartphone market. Research firm Canalys predicts that Samsung's foldable shipments, which peaked in 2022, will remain flat or decline slightly in 2025. This is in line with the broader market's flat growth, according to data provided to Reuters. Samsung's foldable smartphones account for 4% of its total phone sales, but 16% of those priced over $800, Canalys said. Its data shows Samsung's dominance of the foldable phone segment is being eroded by Honor and Huawei, which are enjoying strong sales, especially in China. Samsung will focus on the US, Europe and South Korea for foldable phone sales, Choi said at the unveiling on Wednesday. He said Samsung was 'working hard' to develop tri-foldable phones, which users can fold three ways, without elaborating on the launch date.

Huawei unveils Pura 80 series smartphones with innovative camera
Originally rebranded in 2024, the Pura series combines avant-garde design with high-performance mobile technology and photography. Chinese tech giant Huawei launched its Pura 80 smartphone series as it takes on the competition for camera photography prowess. The company launched the new smartphones, including the Huawei MatePad 11.5 tablet, on a hot Thursday evening in Dubai, UAE. Huawei's launch comes a day after Samsung launched its new Galaxy Z Fold and Flip 7 series, as the drive to gain market share intensifies. Pura 80 Originally rebranded in 2024, the Pura series combines avant-garde design with high-performance mobile technology and photography. One of the standout features of the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is the onboard artificial intelligence (AI), which allows the phone to process images using AI without the need for internet connectivity or data. The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Ultra versions are equipped with a 1-inch Ultra Lighting HDR camera. ALSO READ: [REVIEW] Huawei Mate XT: No tri-fold gimmick smartphone, but it's pricey Switchable camera Paired with the pixel-level colour calibration of the Ultra Chroma Camera, it delivers clear photos with remarkably accurate colour reproduction. Notably, the Pura 80 Ultra introduces the industry-first Switchable Dual Telephoto Camera, combining a large sensor with a dual telephoto lens for capturing clear shots at any distance. Photography Huawei CBG Peter Feng told The Citizen the Pura 80 series is defining the future of mobile imaging. 'We are not only providing the AI functionality when it comes to the camera. When it comes to the Pura 80 Ultra, it has a switchable dual lens. We put more than 140 precision components inside. So, it's very precise. 'This is a very powerful camera system because we can support this on the device with physical activity and functionality to give you the best shot ever before,' Feng said. Tablet With the convergence of education and technology, Huawei said the MatePad 11.5 is designed for both ambitious students and professionals entering the workforce. It has a 2.5K resolution with PaperMatte display, housed in an ultra-thin 6.1 mm frame, powered by a 10,100 mAh battery. There is also the M-Pencil (3rd generation), which introduces magnetic wireless charging. Pricing and availability Huawei said pricing for the Pura 80 series smartphones and MatePad 11.5 will be announced soon. South Africa will be getting the Pura 80 Pro and Ultra, which will be available in black gold and red. The new devices are expected to be available in South Africa from 7 August. Restrictions With the launch of the new Huawei Pura 80 series, Huawei is seeking to cement its comeback in China and global premium smartphone market following years of US sanctions. The Pura 80 series launch demonstrates Huawei's continued efforts to reclaim the top spot ahead of Samsung, Apple and Honour, who have gained significant market share due to the lack of Google services as a result of US sanctions. Each new smartphone launch from Huawei is closely watched as a barometer of the company's technological capabilities and market resilience following years of restrictions that severely impacted its smartphone business.
