in the year 2013 the china shipment is over 63.6% in 2015 it is dropped  to 2.5% -The change to the market, however, was the addition of less known Chinese brands OPPO and vivo, which pushed out previous fourth and fifth place players Lenovo and Xiaomi, respectively.

SAMSUNG:


Despite the slight decline, the new Galaxy S7 and S7 edge sold vigorously in the month of March and was helped by numerous enticing carrier promotions to help push volume. 



APPLE:



 Despite the plethora of new features found on the newer "S" models, current iPhone 6/6 Plus owners may feel that a 6S upgrade may not be warranted at the moment. Apple also announced the new iPhone SE, which looks to challenge similarly priced Android options in numerous emerging markets where Apple has traditionally been seen as too expensive. The SE features all the power of the 6S in a compact form factor that looks to equally target those who desire smaller phones as well. However, at US$399, the SE still faces equally powerful lower-priced devices from competitors, particularly within India and China



HAUWAI'S:


 Shipment volume for Huawei climbed from 17.4 million units in 1Q15 to 27.5 million this quarter for year-over-year growth of 58.4%. Huawei's two-pronged approach with a focus on both premium and entry-level devices proved successful in China as well as in many developed European markets. The recent launch of the P9 smartphone featuring Leica optics provided an additional weapon with which to combat Apple and Samsung


OPPO:


shipping internationally since 2012. Landing first in Thailand, then expanding throughout Southeast Asia and more recently to other countries in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, OPPO's focus is on fostering channel partnerships, supplemented with large marketing budgets and entertainment sponsorships to increase visibility, culminating in almost 20% of shipments going outside of China in 2015.In 2016, OPPO's 18.5 million shipments represented 153.2% year-over-year growth, the strongest among the top 5.

VIVO:


 It first tested the global marketplace in Southeast Asia and India in 2014. In 2015, less than 10% of its shipments were outside of China. Positioned as a relatively premium product in China, one of its best-selling flagship products, the X5Pro, is also among the most expensive, priced around US$300. Similar to OPPO, vivo's retail presence and marketing in lower-tier markets is particularly strong and a key factor to its growth.14.3 million units shipped in 1Q16, and 123.8% year-over-year growth
