Industry data released on Tuesday showed that Samsung Electronics regained the top spot in the global smartphone market in Q2, surpassing its US rival Apple. According to data from market research firm Counterpoint Research, Samsung accounted for a 24% share of global smartphone shipments from April to June, with Apple in second place at 20%. The firm’s earlier data showed that in Q1, Apple led the global smartphone market with a 21% share, ahead of Samsung’s 20%. Counterpoint attributed Samsung’s strong Q2 performance to the robust sales of the Galaxy S26-series, relatively mild price adjustments in key markets such as India and the Middle East, and aggressive sales promotions.

Preliminary data from IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker shows that China's smartphone market shipments in Q2 2026 were approximately 66.01 million units, down 4.3% YoY, marking five consecutive quarters of YoY decline. Since late March, Android producers have been forced to successively raise product selling prices or adjust configurations due to the continuous climb in the cost of core components such as storage, significantly dampening consumers' willingness to upgrade. Meanwhile, the boost effect of the national subsidy policy on demand has gradually weakened. As a result, during this year's "618" shopping festival, overall smartphone sales in China declined nearly 15% compared to the same period last year, reflecting short-term weakness in demand.
