The new research report from Counterpoint Research has revealed the 10 best-selling smartphone models in 2021. At the top of this list is Apple with the iPhone 12, but Samsung’s position is also quite good.
Samsung Galaxy A12 was the best-selling Android smartphone in 2021. Considering that there is more than one name in the middle segment such as Xiaomi, OPPO, Realme and the competition is very tight, it is certain that this looks quite impressive.
iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 11 are in the top 5 places in the list of best-selling smartphones in 2021. In other words, the top of the list consists entirely of Apple iPhones. Galaxy A12 is in sixth place. North America, Latin America and Western Europe are the biggest markets for the Galaxy A12, Counterpoint Research notes.
Galaxy A12 is considered a truly value-for-money device, and it’s no surprise that it’s the best-selling Android smartphone in 2021. The Galaxy A12 global price is under $200. With impressive battery life, Samsung’s long-term support for software updates and a nice design, the Galaxy A12 fully meets the basic needs – even if it doesn’t feature much above the segment.
The interesting thing is that the only model on the list that carries the Samsung brand is the A12. Apple is again in 8th and 9th places: iPhone SE and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is the only other Android smartphone manufacturer on the top 10 list for 2021; It took the 7th place with the Redmi 9A and the 10th place with the Redmi 9.
