Huawei overtook Apple in the second quarter of 2018 to become the world's second largest phone vendor, according to new market research.

The embattled Chinese phone maker shipped 54 million handsets in the quarter, an increase of 41 percent over last year, researcher Canalys reported Tuesday. Huawei's success was due in part to strong demand for its flagship P20 handset and its Honor sub-brand, the researcher said.
