Samsung still leads the pack with the big chunk of 24.5% of shares with Apple trailing behind at 15.6%. While Samsung may still be number one, it saw a slight drop of 3.5%. Apple, on the other hands, grew very little by 0.6%. Other world brands include Huawei at 9.2%, OPPO at 5.6%, and LG at 5.4.

The overall volume production sits at almost 315 million units, up by 8.9 from the quarter before.
