Of these shipments, global smartphone brand Vivo shipped a record 21.2 million smartphones, giving the brand a 5.9-percent share in the smartphone market.
The continued upward trajectory of Vivo is attributed to a growing following in China and India, the world’s two biggest smartphone markets, and to a significant growth in Myanmar. The remarkable growth is also recorded as Vivo expands to different markets in Southeast Asia.
