Less than a month after formally making a comeback to the Philippine smartphone market with a flagship offering and three midrange devices, Honor Philippines has already followed up with the mid-premium Honor 70 5G, the Honor Pad 8 tablet, and the entry-level Honor X6.  

Even without access to the ubiquitous Google marketplace, independent China-based tech company Honor says it remains poised to formalize its return to the Philippine market in last quarter of 2022 with the launch of new smartphone models.

Samsung dropped to fourth place, accounting for 11.8% of the smartphone market after the A-series fell 23.9% compared to previous quarter.

What started out as a supply-constrained industry earlier this year has turned into a demand-constrained market.

Hong Kong-based smartphone brand Infinix Global recently introduced two 5G-powered devices under its new Note 12 series lineup: the premium Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G donning the 6nm Dimensity chip from MediaTek, and the base Note 12 5G model with an Amoled display.

Realme maintained the top rank for the fifth consecutive quarter, commanding a 20.2% share of the smartphone market, despite declining 11.6% year on year.

The new Oppo Find X5 Pro is able to overcome low-light videography with a dedicated imaging Neural Processing Unit (NPU).

This marks the third consecutive quarter of decline for the smartphone market as shipments fell to 314.1 million units in the quarter.

Realme clinched the top spot for the fourth consecutive quarter, accounting for 20.6% of the smartphone market and growing by 7.9% QoQ, driven by the C-series that accounted for more than 70% of its total shipments.

Despite a challenging second half of the year, full-year shipments still grew thanks to a strong first half.
