Aptoide keeps growing at an accelerated rate, as we hit 1 million devices with Aptoide exported from China. As you should know by now, Aptoide opened an office in Shenzen, China back in 2015.

The business development team in Shenzen, led by Manuel Saraiva, has been closing a number of partnerships with local Android device manufacturers to include Aptoide pre-installed in their devices. Amongst these manufacturers, there are brands such as Vivo, Gionee, LEAGOO, Qmobile and even Android TV manufacturers such as Skyworth, KONKA and Changhong.

"For us it was a great challenge to reach this milestone of one million devices shipped from China, as we're dealing with a very fast-moving market and a business culture so different from ours”, says Manuel Saraiva. "Our solutions and mindset had to adapt but slowly and steadily we have been establishing very exciting partnerships with tier 1 manufacturers"
