Global Chromebook shipments grew by 4% in Q2 2024, reaching 6.0 million units, as the education market returned to typical seasonal spending patterns. “Chromebook shipments were bolstered this quarter by regionally specific education funding packages, such as the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) in the United States, which required spending to conclude in Q2 2024,” said Canalys Analyst Greg Davis. Discounting in the retail channel also helped support consumer demand for Chromebooks, particularly for bring-your-own-device use in education settings. Canalys anticipates shipment numbers to drop sequentially in Q3, the overall trend for the category remains positive, with its foothold in the education space and the increased integration of on-device AI capabilities into Chromebooks. Top 5 Chromebook vendors for Q2 2024: #HP retained first place as it shipped 1.7 million units in Q2 2024 for a 28% market share. #Lenovo came second, shipping 1.5 million Chromebooks worldwide with a 9%YoY increase. #Acer, which grew the most this quarter, claimed third place with 1.2 million units shipped, bolstered by its success in government tenders across the Asia Pacific region. #Dell and #Asus ranked fourth and fifth, respectively, both suffering from YoY declines in shipments.

🔍 Smart rings: a new frontier for device vendors? 💍 With Samsung Electronics leading the charge as the first major vendor to launch a smart ring, the tech world is abuzz with possibilities. But what is driving this innovation and what should vendors consider? Here is a quick look at the emerging trends: 1. Attracting new users: Smart rings offer a sleek, minimalist alternative to traditional wearables. Their discreet design appeals to those who want to reduce screen time while still keeping track of essential health metrics. 2. Wellness focus: beyond basic fitness tracking, smart rings excel in sleep monitoring, offering superior accuracy and convenience compared to wrist-based devices. 3. Enhanced tracking: proximity to large blood vessels means smart rings can deliver more precise health insights, helping to drive customer loyatly and future upselling opportunities without cannabilizing wearable band shipments due to differing use-cases. 4. Redefining control: smart rings can become gesture control hubs, enhancing device interaction and reducing reliance on touchscreens — a growing trend led by companies like #Apple. 5. Innovative edge: integrating AI for advanced analytics and pushing the limits of miniaturized technology positions brands as leaders in innovation and enhances overall user experience. 6. Diversifying portfolios: as vendors seek new revenue streams, smart rings present a novel opportunity to attract different customer segments and explore new use cases. However, there are risks. "Innovation might be slow due to the small size and initial market limitations, and high price points could affect appeal. Strong innovation and competitive pricing will be crucial for long-term success," said Canalys Research Analyst Jack Leathem. As the smart ring market evolves, it is clear that this small device could make a big impact.

Canalys' latest analysis reveals that the global smartphone market surged 12% in Q2, with all regions rebounding strongly. According to Canalys Senior Analyst Toby Zhu, "All the major regions grew in Q2, but maintaining competitive products will become increasingly challenging. Since the end of Q1, vendors have consumed the remaining stocks of low-cost components. This will pose a challenge for mass-market brands as demand for competitive specifications, such as improved storage, displays and cameras, remains high." Despite seasonal demand in the second half of the year, the smartphone market is unlikely to see double-digit growth in full-year 2024. 1️⃣ Samsung Electronics held onto pole position despite a modest 1% growth, with 53.5 million units shipped. 2️⃣ Apple held second place with 45.6 million units, bolstered by strong momentum in North America and APAC’s emerging markets. 3️⃣ Xiaomi Technology, with its competitive product offerings, closely followed with shipments of 42.3 million units to achieve a market share of 15%. 4️⃣ vivo shipped 25.9 million units for a market share of 9%. 5️⃣ Transsion came fifth, shipping 25.5 million units and taking a market share of 9%.

India smartphone duty cuts aim to boost production competitiveness The Indian government has slashed customs duties on mobile phones, PCBs, and chargers from 20% to 15% while exempting critical minerals and key inputs, boosting manufacturing competitiveness. 📉 Lower import costs: Brands like #Apple will benefit from reduced import costs, potentially leading to better pricing and promotional discounts for the upcoming series of #iPhone Pro models. 📈 Boosting spending in the premium segment: opens new opportunities for #Android brands to capture share in the premium segment as they will look to offer their global premium portfolio to Indian consumers. 💰 Negligible impact on the mass market: The budget segment might not see immediate price cuts, but enhanced manufacturing competitiveness will bring long-term benefits, says Canalys Senior Analyst Sanyam Chaurasia.
