    Low specs for its price, except for chipset, not even FHD LCD, small battery...and very hugly design BUT what is really important is there as always: Apple logo, that is what you pay for. Besides Apple logo, there isnt anything worth....

      That's a nice WIN for Xiaomi at 2nd. Quite an improvement over last year with very respectable figures. It's obvious that Xiaomi is preferred for functionality while competing against the entire entry level portfolio of BBK; and Apple is preferred as a lifestyle brand more than just a smartphone brand. Though I wonder how much the Huawei ban boosted the iPhone sales. It's quite surprising to see such a bad offering from Samsung taking up the 2nd spot. Brand name I guess.

        Chip, 02 Sep 2020You'll see those numbers drop as the mighty fruit will... moreApple won't be banned from China, Apple is huge business for China and it's also illegal to do such a thing.

          As expected! Iphone 11 has the highest value for money if you take into consideration the price relative to the 5 years update, performance/camera and the brand/resell value.
          As for flagships, it makes no sense buying a 900$+ android flagship with 2 years update when you can afford the Iphone 11 pro unless you can't stand the IOS restrictions or iphone design (or most likely you are a bitter, broke nerd).

            You'll see those numbers drop as the mighty fruit will be banned from China.

              This gives a clear picture - Apple iPhone dominates.
              Immaterial of what it's prices maybe, it is still preferred.

              And in 2020 it was Xiaomi with its budget offering.

              So in short in 2020 till date people are either buying 'pricey' iphones OR budget Xiaomi phones.

              So called 'flagship killer', biggest manufacturers and so on are nowhere to be seen.

              OPPO VIVO REALME One+ are like where?

And if you forget american sales,then things would be a lot different. But Samsung and Huawei are still a lot bigger than Apple,and Xiaomi is coming....”

                So where is your Logic? Forget American sales? And then you say Huawei is bigger and Samsung? What if we forget Korea from Samsung and China from Huawei? :) basicly Huawei got around 10 million sales outside China last q, so

                Also like this data shows, how important is really to be ”lot bigger” when Apple collect all the money? Where is Android flagship phones which makes best business for companies?

                And where is pixel by your logic?

                  Someguy20, 02 Sep 2020seriously?Yes..if you believe GSMArena comment section filled with fanbois, then you'll be astounded by the real- world figures like these. They'll be bashing Apple & loving Realme, hate Samsung A & M series or making great claims about Red Magic etc, but now you can see what actually sells..

                    5 phones from top 10. Wow, this will make those bitter insecure Android boys sooo mad :D
