Samsung Electronics retained its title of the world’s largest smartphone seller in the second half of this year despite offensive from Chinese mobile phone makers, data showed last week.

Samsung sold 89 million smartphones and other mobile handsets in the April-June period, taking up 20.5 percent of the global market, according to the data compiled by industry tracker Strategy Analytics.

Samsung’s second-quarter shipments fell 6.6 percent on-year, and its global market share was also down 1.8 percentage points from a year earlier.

The Korean tech giant was followed by U.S. rival Apple with 10.9 percent of the market by selling 47.5 million units in that period and China-based Huawei Technologies, which sold 30.6 million units of handsets. The Chinese firm took the third spot by taking up 7 percent of the market, defeating U.S. Microsoft., which took up 6.4 percent of the market, for the first time.

“Samsung has stabilized volumes in the high-end, but its lower-tier mobile phones continue to face intense competition from rivals such as Huawei in Asia,” it added.
