It’s rare to have two market research reports having almost the same conclusion.

Samsung, according to Counterpoint, pipped Xiaomi to reclaim the crown by just 1 percent. While Samsung’s 29 percent and Xiaomi’s 28 percent market share, respectively, might suggest that the gap is just 1 percent, what it doesn’t reveal is that the fight between them is 100 percent. “Samsung is hitting back,” says Canalys analyst TuanAnh Nguyen.
