Canalys: Huawei is back as number 1 in China in Q2 of 2025
Huawei was the largest smartphone vendor in the second quarter, shipping 12.2 million phones, which accounted for 18% of the market share. That's a 15% increase year-over-year. Huawei's HarmonyOS 5.0-powered Nova 14 series proved key in its Q2 success.
Close in second was vivo with 11.8 million units shipped - a 17% share of the market. Vivo's staggered release strategy saw new models in the X200, S30, and Y300 series.
Oppo (featuring OnePlus models as well) was third with 10.7 million units shipped, or 16% of the market.
Xiaomi and Apple were fourth and fifth with a shared 15% of the market and 10.4 million and 10.1 million shipped phones, respectively.
Canalys projects that vendors would face challenges to keep momentum going as H1 of 2025 saw greater demand, thanks to a national subsidy program that has now ended.

Here's when the familiar-looking Poco M7 Plus is coming
Vlad, 04 August 2025 The Redmi 15, Redmi 15 5G, and Redmi 15C became official at the beginning of this month, and now Poco is almost ready to launch its own version of the Redmi 15 5G. According to a new report, this will be sold as the Poco M7 Plus, joining the already available M7 and M7 Pro 5G. Over in India, Flipkart has a microsite up for an upcoming Poco device, and today's rumor claims it's all about the M7 Plus, even though the microsite itself doesn't mention the name yet. The Poco M7 Plus will allegedly be unveiled in India on August 13. It will be priced at under INR 15,000, reportedly. Since it's going to be a rebranded Redmi 15 5G, we expect it to come with the exact same specs: a 6.9-inch 1080x2340 LCD screen with 144 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie snapper, and a 7,000 mAh battery with support for 33W wired charging.

iPhone 17 projected to tank in value faster than Galaxy S26
Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max | Image Credits - PhoneArena For the longest time, Apple's iPhone was the top smartphone for value retention. While the iPhone 16 is still depreciating at a slower rate than the Galaxy S25, the gap has been narrowing, and if the current trend continues, the Galaxy S26 might outdo the iPhone 17 in holding start losing value the moment you unbox them. While this may not matter to you if you keep the same phone for three and a half years - which is the average upgrade cycle - or more, it's something to take into account if you care about resale value. The iPhone had traditionally held its value better than Android phones, but SellCell's latest report shows that the depreciation rate has been increasing with each successive generation. As an example, the 2020 iPhone 12 series had lost 25.2% of its value nine months after its release. The iPhone 15 had depreciated by 34.3% within the first nine months. For the iPhone 16 , that figure stands at around 34.7%. iPhone vs Galaxy S vs Galaxy Z Fold vs Pixel depreciation over the years. | Image Credit - SellCell The reverse appears to be true for Samsung Galaxy S series phones, with the recent generations getting better at resisting depreciation. In its fifth month, the Galaxy S22 had lost a staggering 51.9% of its value. During the same period, the Galaxy S24 had plunged in value by 47.3%. The Galaxy S25 faced a depreciation of 46.6 percent in its first five months. It's not just the Galaxy S25 that's depreciating at a slower rate than its predecessors. The same appears to be true for Samsung's foldable phones as well as the Google Pixel 9. It appears that Samsung and Google's latest phones are depreciating at a slower rate due their compelling AI features. Apple, on the other hand, is behind in AI, which might explain why the iPhone 16 is losing value at a faster clip than prior generations. Regardless, the iPhone 16 is still ahead of the pack when it comes to depreciation. It had lost 35.4% of its value five months after it went on sale, compared to Galaxy S25 's depreciation rate of 46.6% and Pixel 9 's rate of 56.9%. That said, if the current trend persists, by mid-2026, the Galaxy S and the iPhone may lose value at a similar rate, with Samsung's lineup potentially surpassing Apple's smartphones in value retention between mid-2026 and 2028. The Galaxy S26 might hold its value better than the iPhone 17 if things keep heading in the same direction. | Image Credit - SellCel Of course, the rumored iPhone 17 might flip the trend on its head with its redesigned rear and triple 48MP camera system. The phone is unlikely to be markedly superior to the Galaxy S26 , though, which could feature AI tools from OpenAI and Perplexity AI to supplement those already offered by Google's Gemini. Based on that, it's safe to assume that in the not-so-distant future, the Galaxy S, and not the iPhone, will command the highest price in the second-hand market.
