Chinese smart phone brands like Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo have started to make it on to top sales list around the world, particularly in European and Asian countries, reports the People's Daily.

Huawei has released its latest P20 model in the French capital, Paris, to a group of 1,300 media outlets from all around the world.

The People's Daily is reporting that that among the top 11 most popular smart phones in Spain, 6 of them are Huawei models, while 2 are Xiaomi. Huawei made it to the 2nd spot on the sales list in Russia in February 2018.

In the Asian market, Chinese smart phone brands are also said to be taking on a more dominant role.

Statistics show Chinese cellphone brands take about 50 percent of market share in India during the fourth quarter of 2017, with 9 of top ten most-sold cellphones from China.

The report also shows Chinese smart phone brand OPPO takes up around 17 percent of the market share in the whole of Southeast Asia.

OPPO is followed on that list by another Chinese brand, Vivo.
