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.

The double-digit growth in the smartphone market in the early quarters of 2021 came to an end in the third quarter of 2021 as worldwide shipments declined 6.7% year over year.

5G shipments accounted for more than 10% of total shipments, growing by 56.1% compared to the previous quarter as prices declined by 41.5% quarterly.

Up-and-coming smartphone brand Infinix recently announced plans to significantly grow its footprint in the country in 2021.
