So for 2021 the revenue share is
Apple 44%
Samsung 16%
BBK Electronics 16% (Oppo/OnePlus/Realme 8%, Vivo 8%)
Xiaomi 8%
Others 16%
That's according to Counterpoint Research [1]
Profitability appears to be even more skewed in favour of Apple but I don't know the exact numbers.
It would be interesting to know what's included in that 16% others category as that's where any challengers would be coming from.

- fomine3 4y agoNote that OPPO/OnePlus/Realme isn't BBK, as original report distinguishes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27871845 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27871845
- fauigerzigerk 4y agoWikipedia claims that BBK is the parent company of Oppo and Vivo, in the case of Oppo based on this government source: https://web.archive.org/web/20160423202414/http://www.dg.gov.cn/gjhycs/s33353/201206/514125.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20160423202414/http://www.dg.gov... Unfortunately, I don't know what the authoritative source for company information is in China. It can't be blog posts and media reports I suppose.
- fomine3 4y agoInteresting. I found OPPO and vivo's official response for a question. It seems that it should be distinguished for statistics, though they share origin and founders. https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/557027909615399132.html https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/557027909615399132.html https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/1606300474779701827.html https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/1606300474779701827.html
