The best-selling smartphone models have been named 2024-05-08 11:31:16
The analytical company Counterpoint has published a report on global smartphone sales for the first quarter of 2024, Day.Az reports with reference to Gazeta.ru.
The most popular smartphone at the beginning of this year was the flagship iPhone 15 Pro Max, followed by the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 14, and only in fifth place was the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
The entire top 10 best-selling smartphones were made up of devices from just two companies – Apple and Samsung. So, from sixth to tenth places are the Galaxy 15 5G, Galaxy A54, iPhone 15 Plus, Galaxy S24 and Galaxy A34.
Counterpoint estimates that the 15 Pro Max accounted for more than 60% of the company’s smartphone revenue. In addition, sales of Pro versions have increased from 24% to 50% since 2020.
Experts note that the leadership of the 15 Pro Max was unexpected, since buyers usually prefer the basic versions in the first quarter of the year. This is probably due to the increased service life of smartphones. Users use their devices longer and, when it’s time to upgrade, choose the flagships of the line.
