Samsung Electronics topped the global smartphone market in the first quarter of 2019.
With a 21-point-7 percent market share, it's a slight increase from 19-point-2 percent of previous quarter.
But the Korean tech titan is facing growing pressure from Chinese tech firm Huawei, the world's number two smartphone vendor.
According to Strategy Analytics, the market share gap between the two has narrowed to just 3-point-8 percentage points in Q1, compared to over 11 percentage points the previous year.
The intensified competition in the middle-to-low price market is believed to be the key contributing factor to this trend.
