By 2017, four Chinese brands, Huawei, Xiaomi, Coolpad and Lenovo, are forecast to sell more smartphones in China than Samsung.

Worldwide, these three brands already have a significant share of smartphones shipments. Together, they accounted for 17.5 percent of all smartphone shipments in the world in 2015. Along with these top three Chinese vendors, there are other smartphone brands on the rise in China.
