Huawei continues to be the No. 1 smartphone manufacturer in the world

According to the April report of Counterpoint Research, Huawei surpassed Samsung to become the No. 1 smartphone manufacturer in the world. Despite difficulties due to the ban from the US, Huawei still sells a lot of smartphones in the Chinese market. Meanwhile, Samsung and other smartphone companies are also facing difficulties due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
