According to CNMO Technology News, Apple has always held a strong position in the domestic high-end and flagship smartphone market. However, with domestic smartphone manufacturers making efforts to break into the high-end market, the recognition of domestic high-end and flagship smartphones among Chinese consumers is continuously increasing. CNMO has learned that recently, a digital blogger released the rankings of flagship and high-end smartphones in March. In the segment market of 6000 RMB and above, Apple and Huawei ranked in the top two positions.
Huawei Phones
In the market priced above 6000 yuan, the top seven brands are: Apple, Huawei, Honor, others, Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo; in the 5000-6000 yuan range, the top seven are: Apple, vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi, others, OPPO, and Honor; while in the high-end phone market of 4000-5000 yuan, vivo has successfully taken the lead, with domestic phone brands performing better overall, with the top seven being: vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Honor, Apple, and others.
The blogger analyzed the data for March, stating that vivo has already secured a place in the high-end smartphone market, and it may increase further in April. Although Apple has seen a significant drop in market share, it still holds over 60% of the market for phones priced above 5000 yuan. As the blogger mentioned, Apple is leading in both the 6000 yuan+ and 5000-6000 yuan sub-markets.
