News & Reviews:   smartphone shipment

As you may know, the global RAM shortage made devices like smartphones more expensive. The price hike means fewer units are being produced to prevent costs from escalating further. At the same time, consumers stop buying due to the prices. This has had an obvious impact on sales in recent months.

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.

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.

Recently, the International Data Corporation (IDC) has released a report of the top five brands in smartphone shipments during the third quarter of 2020. According to the reports, Samsung is still at the top position, followed by Huawei.
