Huawei has been going through a hard time ever since it was added on the entity list by the US Department of Commerce. There was a time when most US tech giant halted all business with the Chinese giant. The condition still hasn’t changed greatly but Samsung seems to have benefitted the most because of the trade ban.
Talking about Samsung’s Q2 2019 performance, Counterpoint’s Research Director Peter Richardson in the official blog post said, “Samsung has been the main beneficiary of the drop in Huawei (and Honor) volumes as it could offer a comparable range of smartphones and fill the portfolio gaps with its recent launches under the A-series.”
