Huawei has also managed to get the third-largest smartphone maker after Apple and Samsung, did not have any models in the top 10 most-shipped smartphones in 2016.
"Similar to Samsung, Huawei continues to address multiple smartphone pricing segments - either with its own Huawei-branded handsets or with those of its sub-brand, Honor. In the premium segment, Huawei's P9 was among its own top five most-shipped smartphone models in 2016, performing better than previous flagships," the report added.
Chinese smartphone maker Oppo posted growth of 109 percent in smartphone shipments to become the fourth largest smartphone maker in terms of unit shipment up from the seventh spot in 2015.
"Unlike Huawei, OPPO has a smaller product portfolio and operates in fewer markets, with more than 80 percent of the company's 2016 shipments within its home market of China," it further added.
