According to Counterpoint Research’s Global Handset Model Sales Tracker, the top selling smartphone in Q3 2024 was iPhone 15.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro took the second and third spot respectively. Apple had four spots in the top ten best selling smartphones in Q3 2024. Samsung was dominating the top ten list with five spots while Xiaomi got one spot. These positions are somewhat consistent since 2023, with Apple’s presence declining a bit and an increase in Samsung’s contribution in the smartphone market.
Many consumers want high-end smartphones now so the share gap between base and pro models of iPhones is decreasing and Apple is now driving higher-value device sales. Consumers also want newer models of iPhone which is contributing to higher-value sales of Apple. Samsung Galaxy S24 is still in the top for the third consecutive quarter. Galaxy S variant is among the top 10 highest selling smartphones for the first time since 2018. The reason why sales of Galaxy S24 are high is probably due to its GenAI features.
Four spots in top 10 were taken by Samsung Galaxy A series because of its wider presence all over the world and having a mid-price band. Xiaomi’s Redmi 13C is the tenth best selling smartphone in Q3 2024 for the second consecutive quarter because of its affordable price and better specifications.
