The coronavirus, which broke out in 2019, destabilized the whole world. The smartphone industry was also directly affected by this problem. In this process, while production decreased greatly, people’s purchasing power decreased with the increase in prices. Of course, it is worth noting that this is also reflected in the sales figures of the manufacturers.
Today, the effects of the coronavirus began to disappear. As in every field, we are witnessing recovery in the smartphone market. In fact, in 2021, growth was recorded for the first time in 5 years in this field. So which are the most successful smartphone companies in Europe in the first quarter of 2022?
