Apple and Samsung continued to dominate the top-10 best-selling smartphones list in Q2 2024, together capturing nine spots, according to Counterpoint. Apple took four out of the top 10 spots on the list including the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro which took the top three spots respectively this quarter. The iPhone 14 landed in sixth spot as presented in the Counterpoint Chart below.

Apple’s contribution to the top 10 in terms of total sales volume and sales share declined YoY in Q2 2024. However, the Pro series’ sales volume and share grew, demonstrating, together with a fall in the ranking of the older-generation iPhone, a shift of demand towards higher-end smartphones.

The top Samsung smartphone on the list this quarter was the Galaxy A15 5G, followed by the phone’s 4G version. Offering efficient multitasking capabilities, the A15 series is popular in the lower end of the mid-tier segment. The other two Samsung models on the list also belonged to its A series. The Galaxy A55 5G, which is priced at the higher end of the mid-tier segment and comes with some interesting security features, took the seventh spot. The Galaxy A05, another lower-end model, captured the 10th spot.

Xiaomi was the only other brand with an entry in the list, with its Redmi 13C 4G taking the eighth spot. Its predecessor, the Redmi 12C, had also made it to the top 10. With the Redmi smartphones’ availability expanding beyond their traditional strongholds in Asia, Middle East and Africa (MEA) and the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), the Redmi C smartphones are an upgrade over the lower-end A series models, which used to be Redmi’s usual entries on the list.
