In a year passed under the shadow of a difficult epidemic and quarantine, many sectors experienced very difficult times. Especially the global chip crisis, which is thought to be a direct effect of the epidemic, deeply affected many brands that make technological products. However, despite all these negativities, we left behind an important year for many brands in the smartphone world.
The whole world experienced partial or total shutdown during certain periods of the past year. In this isolation process, one of the biggest friends of people has been smartphones. In addition, major smartphone manufacturers gave color to the market with their flagship phones. Although we are only in the beginning of 2022, companies continue to grow. StrategyAnalytics has listed the top selling smartphone brands globally.
iPhone is still the best-selling smartphone with 22 percent
StrategyAnalytics continues to keep the pulse of the smartphone world. According to the analysis company, Apple has recently been sitting in a leadership position again. The company, which started to climb in the last quarter of 2021, continues its rise in the first months of 2022. Apple had a higher revenue share compared to the same period last year.
Taking the largest market share with a 22 percent share, Apple has made a big difference to its competitors when it comes to high-end flagship phones. The company has grown by 15 percent in the last period. Samsung followed Apple in second place. The rest of the list is Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, respectively.
Honor moved up to sixth place on the list. Realme, Lenovo-Motorola, Huawei and Transsion made the top 10 list. In general, smartphone manufacturers continue to increase their revenues. But it seems a little difficult to say the same for Huawei, which has been under great sanctions in recent years.
Huawei has faced a US embargo while taking big steps into the smartphone world. The past year has been a nightmare for the company, which subsequently suffered from the global chip crisis. However, statistics show that the brand still has a stable fan base. The fact that it was in the top 10 on the list surprised many people.
