5G has been a thing during the pandemic and even more so with brands trying to get you to buy their 5G monicker phones. However, a recent report by the Financial Times said that the phase may have worn out now, as consumers are starting to have second thoughts.

As we head towards the end of 2022, Canalys announced that Xiaomi has recently topped the list of smartphone vendors in Malaysia for Q3 2022. According to Canalys' report, Xiaomi maintained its first spot on the list for the second consecutive quarter with a 25% unit share for sell-in shipments.

During the pandemic, the need for gadget devices increased as we were forced to be lockdown at home. However, it seems that the demand has decreased. According to Canalys, smartphone shipments went down 9% in Q2 2022 globally.

If you're wondering how smartphone brands are doing these days, the answer is as always - it depends. Some companies have not been doing as well as they'd like, while others have flourished despite the pandemic. Xiaomi is definitely in the second category for Q2 2021.

In the current circumstances, you would think that people would try to save more money for necessary things such as food. However, a new Canalys report says otherwise as the shipment of smartphones will grow by 12% this year. That's an estimated 1.4 billion units around the world, but why is that so?

The global chip shortage could last well into 2022, but that's not stopping companies from selling more phone. In fact, analysts have found that smartphone brands sold more devices in the last quarter, compared to Q1 2020.

One would think that smartphone sales have dropped during this global pandemic but turns out it's the opposite. It seems that more people seem to have purchased tech gadgets making themselves comfortable at home. According to Canalys, they have just released an image from their report of the global top 10 smartphones in Q1 2020 with Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi dominating the charts.

So how is the smartphone industry doing so far in 2019? Well, Canalys, an independent data analyst company from Singapore with branches worldwide, has released a new Smartphone Market Pulse report on the Indian smartphone shipments and annual growth, including smartphone brand players such as Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo, OPPO and Realme.
