iPhone Dominates Mobile Market, Good Q1 for Apple
Apple's newest flagship bests its competitors in terms of sales in Q1 2020. iPhone 11 outclassed Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and Samsung Galaxy A51, among others.
- The best-selling smartphone of the first quarter of 2020 was iPhone 11;
- Competitive flagships Samsung Galaxy S20 and Google Pixel 4 did not even make it to list;
- The popularity of budget Xiaomi 8A may come as a surprise.
According to the latest estimates by Canalys, the best-selling smartphone in the first quarter of this year was Apple's iPhone 11. 18 million consumers worldwide have chosen this model. Its advantage over competitors is significant, as the Xiaomi 8 and 8T smartphone were bought by 8 million people, and the iPhone 11 Pro Max variant sold just over 4 million units. The Apple iPhone 11 Pro was in tenth place with 3 million units. It is also noteworthy that Samsung's flagship models Galaxy S20 and Google Pixel 4 were not in the top 10 best-selling smartphones in the first quarter of this year.
The third and fourth place in the ranking are taken by the Samsung Galaxy A51 and Galaxy A10 respectively - proposals from the mid-price range of the South Korean manufacturer, presented at the end of last year. The Xiaomi Redmi 8A smartphone took the penultimate place in the ranking, which is a good result looking at the capabilities of this budget option, valued at about $150.
