According to a new report by research firm Omdia, global smartphone shipments declined 20 percent year-on-year in the third quarter of 2026. Manufacturers shipped a total of 254.7 million units during the quarter.<\/p>\n

The report noted that this was the lowest third-quarter shipment volume since 2013, attributing the decline to rising smartphone prices.<\/p>\n

\"Omdia:<\/p>\n

Samsung retained its position as the world’s largest smartphone maker, shipping 57.8 million units, however, it was down 5 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n

Apple followed closely with 56.5 million iPhones shipped, keeping its shipment numbers unchanged compared to the same quarter last year.<\/p>\n

Xiaomi secured the third spot with 30.7 million units shipped, marking a 29 percent decline year-on-year.<\/p>\n

\"Omdia:<\/p>\n

Oppo ranked fourth with 23.4 million units, down 39 percent from last year, while vivo rounded out the top five with 19.3 million units shipped, representing a 33 percent decline compared to Q3 2025.<\/p>\n

The report notes that brands are focusing on profitable markets and key products amid component shortages, adjusting RAM\/storage configurations and trimming model lineups to manage rising costs and protect margins.<\/p>\n

Omdia expects global smartphone shipments to decline by a further 12 percent this year, with the market likely to continue falling in 2027, although at a slower pace.<\/p>\n
