The past year has undoubtedly been quite challenging for smartphone manufacturers. On the one hand, the chip crisis and raw material supply problems, on the other hand, the restrictions brought by the pandemic. But there are also brands that turn problems into opportunities and rise to the occasion. Here are the best selling smartphones in the world…

When we look at the list, Apple’s sales success in China is indeed a testament to numbers. We see it reflected. Of course, in this case, Huawei’s slow withdrawal from the market also has an effect. However, it was an important success for the company to put the names of 7 devices in the top 10 in the list of best-selling smartphones.
When we look at last year’s sales data, we see that the ranking is much different and Samsung has placed more smartphones in the top 10. Likewise, even if Apple was sitting in the leadership seat in the data for 2019, Samsung and Xiaomi were showing more activity in the market. The list of best-selling smartphones of the past year is as follows:
| 2020 | Model | Number of pieces (million) | Year 2021 | Model | Number of pieces (millions) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apple iPhone 11 | 64.8 | 1 | Apple iPhone XR | 46.3 |
| 2 | Apple iPhone SE (2020) | 24.2 | 2 | Apple iPhone 11 | 37.3 |
| 3 | Apple iPhone 12 | 23.3 | 3 | Samsung Galaxy A10 | 30 .3 |
| 4 | Samsung Galaxy A51 | 23.2 | 4 (980072) 1) | Samsung Galaxy A50 | 24.2 |
| 5 | Samsung Galaxy A21s | 19.4 | 5 | Samsung Galaxy A20 | 19.2 |
| 6 | Samsung Galaxy A01 | 16.9 | 6 | Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max | 17.6 |
| 7 | Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max | 16.8 | 7 | Apple iPhone 8 | 17.4 |
| 8 | Samsung Galaxy A11 | 15.3 | 8 | Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 | 16.4 |
| 9 | Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro | 15.0 | 9 | Apple iPhone 11 Pro | 15.5 ( |
| 10 | Apple iPhone 12 mini | 14.5 | 10 | Samsung Galaxy J2 Core | 15.2 |
When we look at the shared lists in detail, Samsung and Xiaomi can no longer enter the order in which they put mid-segment smartphones in the top 5 in the previous period, We see that it places entry segment models only in the top 10 (Samsung Galaxy A12 and Redmi 9 and 9A). In other words, in the flagship class, Apple has seriously widened the gap with its competitors.
Especially when we look at the iPhone 11 model, it manages to rank itself in the top 5 in the list of best-selling smartphones since the day it was released. But it is said that this will not happen again in 2022. Because with the introduction of the iPhone 14 family, Apple will completely shelve this series.
