LG has been listed as the 6th largest smartphone vendor with 4.9 percent of the market share. In general, the smartphone shipments grew to 295.2 million units in the second quarter from 233 million units in the previous quarter.




'Xiaomi's Android smartphone models are wildly popular in the Chinese market and it shifts millions of them every quarter through its extensive online and operator channels,' Strategy Analytics said. 'Xiaomi's next step is to target the international market in Asia and Europe, where it will have to invest big money to familiarise western consumers with its unfamiliar brand name’ they added further.
