Huawei's share of the domestic smartphone market share grew
by 76.1 percent in the second quarter, and took second spot in the high-end
sector, Yu said.
The company held 11.3 percent of the overall China market in
the second quarter, behind five competitors led by Vivo and Apple, according to
Counterpoint Research.
Counterpoint attributed Huawei's growth to the resumption of
normal product launches after resolving shortages.
Several rounds of US restrictions on US-made technology
limited Huawei to producing last-generation 4G handsets, causing its once
sizeable handset market share to plummet both at home and abroad.
The US and European governments have labeled Huawei a
security risk, a charge the company denies.
Yu said Huawei's in-house Harmony operating system has
"overcome many challenges" in the last four years, noting there were
now 2.2 million developers for the system.
Last month research firms told Reuters they expect Huawei to return to making 5G smartphones by the end of the year by procuring chips domestically, in spite of the US restrictions.
Huawei declined to comment.
