You’ve all (probably) seen the latest Quarterly rankings of US smartphone vendors, China, Indiaand The world as a whole, which means it’s time to talk about the most famous phone Models Worldwide as of Q3 2024.
Latest this list, Compiled by Counterpoint Researchcertainly not too surprising, as it looks quite similar to the same market analysis firm’s top 10 lists from Q3 2023 and Q3 2023. Second quarter 2024. But there are still some things worth highlighting and discussing a bit, including some changing overall industry dynamics, some interesting changes to the hierarchy itself, and an apparent consolidation of the power of the biggest dog in the market.
Let’s give Apple what belongs to Apple
That’s right, the global platform is once again made up entirely of iPhones, and you probably won’t be surprised to see “vanilla” The iPhone 15 won gold, followed by the ultra-high-end phone The 15 Pro Max is in the silver medal spot and similarly advanced but much smaller iPhone 15 Pro is in third place.
These same devices were ranked in exactly the same order for the April-June quarter of the year as well, following in the footsteps of an equally successful company iPhone 14 The trio at this time last year. As such, you may be tempted to watch Apple’s latest box office achievement was nothing out of the ordinary, and clearly wrong.
There is no competitor to Apple when it comes to the most popular smartphone models.
It’s certainly not easy to keep your phones ahead of the competition like this quarter after quarter, especially with so many competitors trying to do so many different things to negate your advantage and with Samsung often dominating the all-out vendor war.
Apple also deserves a lot of credit for bringing its Pro models to an equal sales level as non-Pro iPhones, which is naturally good for the company’s profits. On the not so bright side of things, “Al Qaeda” iPhone 15The market-leading sales share in Q3 2024 was lower than its predecessor’s towering result in Q3 2023, as The iPhone 14 was much less successful than the iPhone 14 iPhone 13 in the same time frames.
Now let’s talk about Samsung and Xiaomi
First thing’s hardcore Samsung fans will likely notice that Counterpoint’s latest ten best-selling smartphone charts do not include Galaxy S24 Ultra. Sure, that’s a bit disappointing after seeing the company’s crown jewel in ninth place in Q2 2024, but it’s not entirely shocking considering the S23 Ultra couldn’t crack this list this time last year either.
What is actually a bit surprising is that Galaxy S24He is It appeared in the top 10 list for Q3 2024, albeit in last place. That’s because the “vanilla” S23 was also not ranked among the best-selling smartphones in the third quarter of 2023, which means that Samsung is making some clear and important progress in the high-end market segment… at the expense of some of its low-end phones – low-cost mobile phones.

the The Galaxy A55, for example, seems unable to carry on the legacy of its predecessor, which may be due to (among other things) its lack of availability in key regions like the US and the US. Galaxy A35 improvements. Keep in mind that the 5G A35 is much more popular than the Galaxy A34 5G was last year, while the Galaxy A15, The Galaxy A15 5G and Galaxy A05 appear to be selling more or less today as the Galaxy A14, A14 5G, and A04e will be in 2023.
Overall, Samsung can certainly be proud of the individual sales results of its five most successful smartphones in Q3 2024, and perhaps the same can be said about Xiaomi. Granted, very affordable The Redmi 13C couldn’t better the Redmi 12C’s 9th place as of Q3 2023, but at least the China-based tech giant is still on this list alongside Apple and Samsung, unlike several other major brands from the same country and many more. Other brands. Others.
