Pura 80 Ultra The largest decline in Chinese smartphone shipments year-over-year during Q2 belonged to vivo. This weakness took vivo out of first place where it was during last year's second quarter and moved it to second behind Huawei. During the quarter, vivo's smartphone shipments dropped 10.1% to 11.9 million units, leaving it with a market share of 17.3% Apple fans are asking, "Where's Apple? Certainly, Apple is next?" But the answer to that is a resounding "NOPE." Actually, Oppo took third place, and the 10.7 million smartphones it delivered during the second quarter were 5% less than it shipped during the same quarter last year. Oppo finished the second quarter with a 15.5% slice of the Chinese smartphone market pie.

So now we are about to divulge which company was the fourth largest smartphone shipper in China during Q2, and we can tell those Apple fans out there that Apple...is not number four. That spot belongs to Xiaomi, a company once known as China's Apple due to the designs of its smartphones that paid homage to Apple's iPhones at the time. Xiaomi was the only firm to hike its smartphone shipments in China during the second quarter, raising the number of units delivered by 3.4% to 10.4 million, giving it a market share of 15.1%.
Lastly, in fifth place after shipping 9.6 million iPhones in China during the June quarter, Apple saw its phone shipments slip 1.3%. That left Apple with a 13.9% market share in China for the second quarter.

Google Pixel 10 lineup shown in multiple leaks, Week 30 in review
Welcome to your weekly news recap. Google's Pixel 10 series dominated your attention with a total of four top stories. They showed all four upcoming Pixel 10 devices in all of their colors. Google even jumped in on the action and teased the Pixel 10 Pro design officially, and showed the entire four-phone series in the Play Store. The Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold are all coming alongside the Pixel Watch 4 on August 20. The Pixel 10 series will be unveiled on August 20. The lineup reportedly includes four smartphones - Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. They aren't the dullest, but also not the most exciting ever. The first details about the Redmi Note 15 Pro+ surfaced this week. The phone is said to sport a screen with "1.5K" resolution and thin symmetrical bezels on all sides, a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto camera, and a battery capacity between 7,000 mAh and 7,999 mAh. The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will allegedly be powered by the yet-unannounced Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset. The CMF Watch 3 Pro is official with a larger 1.43-inch display, a precision-milled metal frame, and a soft-touch silicone strap. It's on sale in several countries for $99/£99/€99. A new vivo or iQOO phone is in the works, as evidenced by a Geekbench run. It packs a Dimensity 9400+ and an 8,000mAh battery! It doesn't have many improvements compared to its predecessor, but one of them is pretty significant. The watch gains dual-band GPS, ChatGPT support and new sports modes. It's available starting today in three color options. It might be the iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro+. Nokia has been parting ways with HMD in the past year, and it looks like it's looking to license its brand name to a new "large scale mobile manufacturer". Nokia had licensed its brand in several different segments – Streamview made TVs, RichGo made headphones (and other smartphone accessories), and OFF Global made laptops. As you can probably tell from the use of the past tense, those branding deals have also come to an end. Which company would you like to see pick up the Nokia brand for phones – one of the established players or another startup like HMD? According to a new rumor from China, the OnePlus 15 will launch in the country in October, but not alone. It will allegedly be unveiled alongside the Ace 6 (and possibly the Ace 6 Pro as well), which is an interesting change in strategy for the brand, which last year unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October and the Ace 5 in December. HMD stopped using the Nokia brand and has been releasing phones under its own brand. Now the Finns may be looking for another company to take up the mantle. The chipset choices are interesting too. It's not something it's done before.
