Oppo R9 overtakes the iPhone as the best selling smartphone in China, says report
Once upon a time the American tech giant Apple dominated the Chinese tech market with its iPhone devices and sold millions and millions of handset in the country, but recently, according to the "Counterpoint Research" report, it shows that during the last five years Apple couldn't clinch its first position in the Chinese market.
Sales have been low since 2012The report says that since 2012 iPhone's sale in China has been decreasing enormously, even last year the company managed to sell just 12 million iPhones 6s devices in China. The counterpart mentioned that "Apple with slowing traction for its flagship iPhone 6S during last year saw its double-digit negative growth being somewhat offset by relatively healthy demand for the newer flagship iPhone 7 series in Q4 2016."
So, who is the king? Well, right now Oppo the Chinese tech giant is the king of the Chinese market as the research says that last year the company managed to sell nearly 17 million of its Oppo R9 smartphone devices in the country, five million more than the Apple's iPhones.
The Counterpart Research also addressed that Oppo is one of the fastest developing cell phone makers in China which has made its name through high-spec low-cost gadgets, being sold through blocks and mortar stores.
However, this year tech lovers are looking forward to Apple's next flagship which consumers are expecting that with regards to the iPhone's tenth anniversary, this year the company will surprise the world with its next flagship iPhone 8. If by any chance the device fails to conquer the tech lover's choice, then Apple's iPhones sales may decrease even more in China and around the world.
