It’s been the 6th week of 2026 and Huawei continues to be a topper in the Chinese smartphone sales, beating rivals like Apple and Xiaomi. And this has probably become possible after the booming production of the high-end Mate 80 models.
RDObservation is once again up with its analysis on the smartphone sales market in China for the 6th week of 2026, where Huawei stands at the top for its robust performance.
The tipster shared a list of the top six smartphone vendors that are doing great in the market. Among them, Huawei and Apple have appeared in the first tier.
Huawei accounts for 18.3% of the activated units’ share in the market and Apple follows closely with 18.2% share. While the standard Mate 80 holds a big portion in the shipments, the company has maintained its position at the top due to this move:
After a wait of one month, the company has ramped up the production of the Mate 80 Pro Max and RS Ultimate models. Consumers who have been waiting for these variants for a long time are now able to grab them at the new pre-order program.
OPPO ranked third with 16.3% activation share in the market. Out of this figure, 2.8% belongs to OnePlus and 1.3% is for the realme devices. Vivo is in the fourth spot with the same share as OPPO, where iQOO models hold 4.8% share.
Xiaomi appears in fifth position with 14.1% of the activation share, and the Magic phone maker (Honor) accounts for 12.8% for its newly released Magic 8 models.
The latest listing hints that Huawei may continue to lead the Chinese smartphone sales market for February 2026. The company held the top place last month, and the situation is persistent for the moment. Let’s see how things proceed in the coming days.
