Top 10 largest Mobile Companies in the World
Samsung
Samsung is ruling the mobile market all over the world. Presently it is the leading smartphone company globally. In Q2 2017, the Samsung market share was 22%.
Point to Ponder
Clearly, Samsung is the leader in terms of its sales, performance, and market share but in 2017 there was not much growth in the sales of Samsung. Galaxy S8 and S8+ did good but the sales of mid-range J and A series of Samsung phones declined which is a point to ponder for the company.
Apple
In the smartphone market, the identity of Apple is the iPhone and it is the reason for Apple’s second position in the smartphone market. In Q1 2017 the market share of Apple was 14.7%.
In 2017 Apple’s iPhone X was the most innovative phone of the year and it was included in the list of 25 best inventions of the year.
Point to Ponder
Apple should look ahead to know what it has to achieve yet but look down as well. Be aware of the mobile companies that might surpass it, in its ignorance. Huawei has plans to surpass Apple in a year or two and become the second biggest company in the world as per Huawei CEO’s claim. Apple should know how it has to retain its position while looking forward.
Huawei
Huawei is the third leading mobile company in the world. As per the Q1 2017 record, the market share of Huawei was 10%.

By 2019-2020 Huawei claims that it will surpass Apple’s position in the mobile market.
