華爲手機全球銷量首次超越蘋果

Huawei has surpassed Apple for the first time, becoming the second-largest smartphone vendor in the world, market research firm International Data Corp (IDC) said.

市場調研公司IDC稱，華爲首度超越蘋果，成爲全球第二大的智能手機供應商。

During the second quarter of this year, global smartphone vendors shipped a total of 342 million units, down 1.8 percent compared to the 348.2 million units shipped in the second quarter of 2017, IDC said.

據IDC透露，今年第二季度，全球智能手機供應商出貨量達3.42億部，跟2017年第二季度的3.482億部相比下降了1.8%。

The drop marked the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year declines for the global smartphone market.

這一下降標誌着全球智能手機市場連續第三個季度同比下滑。

IDC attributed this to a "churn in some highly penetrated markets", although many high growth markets still exist and should return smartphone shipments to overall growth.

IDC將此歸因於“一些高度滲透的市場的動盪”，儘管許多迅速增長的市場仍然存在，應該會使智能手機的出貨量恢復整體增長。

Samsung remained the leader in the worldwide smartphone market with shipments of 71.5 million units, despite a 10.4 percent decline in shipments from last year.

雖然去年的出貨量下降了10.4%，但三星仍舊是全球智能手機市場的佼佼者，其出貨量爲7150萬部。

Huawei delivered shipments of 54.2 million units to move into the second position with a record high market share of 15.8 percent.

華爲以5420萬部的出貨量排名第二，並創下了15.8%的超高市場份額記錄。

Apple dropped to the third spot for the first time, despite its second quarter growth. Apple shipped 41.3 million iPhones, representing modest growth of 0.7 percent over the 41.0 million units shipped last year.

儘管蘋果在第二季度實現了增長，但是它還是首次跌至第三位。蘋果的iPhone出貨量爲4130萬部，相比去年的4100萬部實現了0.7%的小幅增長。
