It is also worth noting that the share of telecom opera<strong>to</strong>rs' cus<strong>to</strong>m-made models was on the<br />
decline, indicating the growing influence of traditional distribution channels and online<br />
sellers on the open market. Xiaomi is one of the successful s<strong>to</strong>ries of online smartphone<br />
sellers while BBK (VIVO) and OPPO, both witnessed rapid growth in shipment share in the<br />
second quarter, rely on conventional sales channels <strong>to</strong> sell smartphones featuring mid-tier<br />
<strong>to</strong> high-end specifications with a price tag between 1,500 RMB <strong>to</strong> 2,000 RMB (US$244.3 <strong>to</strong><br />
US$325.7).<br />

Despite a close margin in their shipments, Chinese brands, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Lenovo,<br />
Coolpad, ZTE, BBK, and OPPO have been on the rise. Back in 2013, the biggest domestic<br />
players in the Chinese market were Lenovo, Huawei, Coolpad, ZTE, whose emergence were<br />
largely attributed <strong>to</strong> their contract manufacturing business for telecom opera<strong>to</strong>rs' cus<strong>to</strong>mmade<br />
models. Today, former contract manufacturers (Lenovo, Huawei, Coolpad, ZTE),<br />
online seller (Xiaomi), and brands relying on conventional sales channels (BBK and OPPO)<br />
all have established their foothold in the Chinese market. This trend has shown that the<br />
market is concentrating <strong>to</strong>ward vendors who have distinctive features. For example, BBK<br />
and OPPO have launched large-scale marketing campaigns <strong>to</strong> promote smartphones having<br />
mid-range <strong>to</strong> high-end specifications; Huawei are packing its high-end phones with<br />
Hisilicon processors as a unique selling point; Xiaomi is extending its reach from online<br />
platform <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>m-made models for telecom opera<strong>to</strong>rs. In short, Chinese smartphone<br />
brands are seeking <strong>to</strong> create differentiation in order <strong>to</strong> prepare for the fierce competitions<br />
in the future.<br />
