The growth of the Chinese smartphone market has stopped

After eight years of continuous expansion, the sales of smartphones declined in China last year, but the sales of some domestic manufacturers have been growing steadily.

Sales of mobile phones fell by 4 percent to 460 million last year – the BBC quoted the survey of the Canalys market research institute. The institute explains the decline in sales that consumers have shifted from the simplest phones to mid-range devices and do not consider it necessary to purchase another device. (MTI)
