Despite the US crackdown, Chinese devices are doing really well in Europe, according to Canalys beancounters.
According to Canalys, preventing the likes of Huawei and Xiaomi from operating in the States means they are investing in Europe to make up for their lost US business and have experienced significant sales gains.
Although Samsung still ranks number one in the continent and Apple remains a number two, Huawei’s market share now stands at 23.6 percent, compared to a market share of 14.8 percent last year. Xiaomi’s grew from 3.6 to six percent, the fourth position.
