Summary · why it matters

Global smartphone shipments fell 6% year on year to 272.0 million units in the second quarter of 2026, according to research firm Omdia. Samsung retained the top spot with 60.5 million units shipped, up 5%, while Apple posted its strongest-ever second quarter with 55.1 million units, a 23% increase. Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo all recorded double-digit declines, with Xiaomi down 26% to 31.2 million units, OPPO down 17% to 28.4 million, and vivo down 18% to 21.5 million. Persistently high memory prices disrupted supply and increased component costs, forcing vendors to prioritize margins and average selling prices over shipment volumes. Omdia expects the market to remain under pressure through the rest of 2026, with a broad volume recovery unlikely until component costs ease.
