Xiaomi maintained its third-place position with a 13 percent market share, up by 1 percent from Q4 2021, while Vivo and Oppo came in fourth and fifth with a 10 percent and 8 percent share in smartphone shipments, respectively. The analysis noted that the iPhone SE was an important mid-range volume product for Apple: While the iPhone 13 series continues to capture consumer demand, the new iPhone SE launched in March is becoming an important mid-range volume driver for Apple. At a similar price point to its predecessor, it offers an upgraded chipset and improved battery performance and adds the 5G connectivity that operator channels are demanding.
