China’s tablet computer shipments went down 3.4 percent year on year to approximately 7.05 million units in the third quarter of the year, according to an industrial report.
The decline narrowed from a 6.6-percent drop in the second quarter.
The better-than-expected performance is partly due to the growth of mainstream brands in the consumer market through technological innovation and product line expansion, according to the report released by the global market research firm International Data Corporation.
Despite the overall drop, tablet shipments of domestic brands, including Huawei, Xiaomi, and Vivo, logged an increase in the third quarter, the report said.—Xinhua
