Known global market intelligence firm IDC has posted interesting standings in the top 5 smartphone brands in the Philippines this second quarter of 2017 compared from what we saw lately last Q3 of 2016.
So these are the rankings.
5. Vivo - It was the first time that the brand entered this feat so far with their 66% quarter-over-quarter growth plus endorsement of Golden Stae Warriors guard Steph Curry helped to build more sales plus their efforts in their huge Perfect Selfie Tour that still goes around the country and on campuses as well
4. Cloudfone - The highest that the first of 2 local brands have reached so far. Their partnerships with the PBA and NBA and their segment on below US$25 phones (those feature phones) drove some sales to them.
3. OPPO - I still remembered that during the OPPO F1s launch last year, they were proud of being no.2 in the country according to GFK . Definitely not out in recognizable smartphone brands locally so far. Keys to their success so far is their aggresive markteting and sales as well as their phones that are offering thru Home Credit.
2. Samsung - They still for sure in the smartphone sales race thanks to their reliable Galaxy J series plus their improved presence of their sales personnel in malls and other locations.

1. Cherry Mobile - With their below US$50 smartphones as their major driver from their spot right now plus more strategic marketing spend on noontime shows.
According to the said firm, the PH smartphone market will "remain subdued" mainly of rising prices of components, weaker US to PH peso exchange rate
