Apple struggled for a long time to get its devices to the Chinese market in an official way. Once it did, the iPhone quickly became the best-selling smartphone despite the high prices with which it is sold in the western country. However something is changing and is that according to the latest report released by the firm Counterpoint, the Apple terminal would have been dethroned.
And is that local companies once again dominate the mobile phone market, becoming the Oppo R9 in the best-selling Smartphone in China, although yes, closely followed by the iPhone 6s.
The difference in terms of distribution figures makes it very clear that Apple is not going through its best moment in China, and that Oppo, despite not being well known outside its country of origin, is experiencing disproportionate growth within its borders.
In total, 17 million units have been sold during 2016 of the Oppo R9, standing out for its design, a most interesting selfie camera and very balanced specifications that make it one of the best devices of the so-called mid-range. As for the iPhone 6s, which as we already said is placed in the second position, the number of units sold goes up to 12 million.
Next we show you the list of best-selling smartphones in China;
Now We will have to wait to see if the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are capable of recovering the lost throneAlthough surely Apple does not care a bit, of course, as long as the sales figures are maintained and other markets continue to grow greatly.
Are you surprised that the Oppo R9 is the best-selling smartphone in China?.
