The top 10 list for the third quarter of 2023 is below. Here too, the Plus model was not ranked, and the previous generation model was ranked.
According to Counterpoint Research, the market share gap between the basic and Pro models of the iPhone is gradually narrowing as users increasingly seek out premium smartphones. In particular, Counterpoint Research noted that Apple's high-end models are contributing significantly to sales, with the Pro model accounting for half of total iPhone sales for the first time in the third quarter of 2024.
The company said that consumers in emerging markets, in particular, tend to choose the latest iPhones, which is contributing greatly to Apple's sales. Trade-in offers and other features are also cited as reasons why the latest iPhones are becoming more accessible to a wider range of income levels.
Samsung's Galaxy S24 has been in the top 10 for three consecutive quarters. The reason for the strong sales of the Galaxy S24 series is said to be 'strong marketing focused on generative AI capabilities.' Samsung's Galaxy A series is available in a wide range of regions and has captured many customers in the low to mid-price range. The reasons for the popularity of Samsung smartphones include 'competitive pricing' and 'long-term software support.'
The only Xiaomi smartphone to make it into the top 10 is the Redmi 13C. It has been in the top 10 for two consecutive quarters thanks to its affordable price and presence in emerging markets. The Redmi 13C has gained popularity by offering better specs than smartphones in its price range.
