According to Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor Q2 2018, the global premium smartphone segment [$400+] grew faster than the overall smartphone market.

As these players grow outside China, premium portfolio can help them tap the developed markets like Western Europe or USA where they were unable to expand their reach previously…
Apple led the global premium smartphone segment capturing 43% share of the segment, followed by Samsung (24%), OPPO (10%), Huawei (9%), Xiaomi (3%) and OnePlus (2%).
