(Telecompaper) Apple returned to growth in the smartphone market in the second quarter in Europe's five largest countries, while losing share in the US, according to the latest figures from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Apple's gains were the strongest in the UK of the five European markets, adding 5.5 percent points year-on-year to reach 34.1 percent of smartphone sales. Android's share in the UK fell by 6.1 points to 53.2 percent. In Spain, Italy, Germany and France, Android still had over 70 percent of the market, with as much as 88 percent in Spain, up 3 percent points from a year earlier.

Its share in the US was up 1.1 points to 3.0 percent in Q2. Apple also posted strong gains in China, taking just over a fifth of sales, up by 7.3 points from a year ago. Android's share in China fell to 79.0 percent from 84.3 a year ago. Huawei's Honor brand led sales in China, Kantar said, while Meizu also posted a strong increase in market share. In Japan, Apple also grew, by 2.7 points to 42.2 percent of sales, while Android fell to 54.4 percent from 59.6 a year ago.
