If you're gaming on your Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5), you can press the Share button on your controller to send screenshots or video clips to others. It's not the fastest or most convenient interface of sharing, but there hasn't been another way of doing it on your phone before. Until now, that is.

It seems that a statement from techradar.com hints that a report from Strategy Analytics hints that Apple, OPPO, and vivo holds the top spot for the highest 5G smartphone market share in Q1 2021 at 30.2%, 16.1%, and 14.5% respectively. With that in mind, we can expect 5G capable smartphones to gain popularity as 5G coverage improves with time.

It seems that Xiaomi has recently been placed in the US government’s blacklist, which means that US investors will not be allowed to purchase shares from Xiaomi. Unlike Huawei, Xiaomi is still able to import and use technologies from the US without a need for a license.

After the trade ban being imposed on HUAWEI, some other Chinese smartphone manufacturers might also worry that they will face the same challenge. We can't deny that HUAWEI took some time to build the HarmonyOS to serve as the alternative to Google's OS. Therefore, if it happened to the others, they will also need some time to develop an in-house OS. Recently, the CEO of HUAWEI Consumer Business Group Richard Yu said that HarmonyOS will be made available for other smartphone manufacturers.

According to Canalys report, OPPO is currently sitting at the number 2 spot in China, between Huawei which is currently sitting on the number 1 spot and Vivo sitting at the third runner up spot.
