China's smartphone shipments fell 4% year-over-year in Q1 2026, according to Counterpoint Research. The decline reflects weak consumer demand, a tough comparison against last year's subsidy-driven base, and rising component costs. The report points to softer near-term conditions for handset makers and the broader Chinese consumer electronics supply chain.
