Huawei won the top spot in China's smartphone market

Huawei and Xiaomi are the two biggest players in China at the moment. These two companies are constantly trading places as number one smartphone OEMs in China, and have been able to sell a ton of devices both last and this year.

Research company Canalys called it a "remarkable feat" by Huawei, best known outside China for its network equipment, and one that puts Xiaomi under tremendous pressure to maintain its growth rate elsewhere in the world.
