yalim, 07 Mar 2023all these chinese need to go global with reasonable prices.... moreExactly. Very strange strategy to claim "value" by raising prices. Value is not what you pay, but what you receive for your money.

Microsoft even sank their own Windows Phone OS, which was something I preferred over Android & iOS. if Microsoft can't beat Apple & Google, i can't see a 3rd mobile OS come up and genuinely compete against Android & iOS.

It's crazy: what these numbers are also telling: only APPLE manages to sell flagship/premium devices at scale. The first Android in the list is entry level. One can keep complaining about Apple's product strategy from the customer's perspective, but in terms of economical sucess and market dominance, Tim Cook is doing everything right. Great for Apple shareholders, sad for smart phone enthusiasts.

It was said it would sell so well because it has the big screen at a lower price, and all people want a big screen according to those people. But looking at the chart, only 4 options are 6.5 inch and larger, while the other 6 spots, including the number 1 that won by a landslide, are what is considered „compact“ by the tech community. Maybe not all people want the biggest screen if they are given the choice 🤔

And as we can see, the iPhone SE 2022 flopped so hard that it sold better than the iPhone 13 mini and every singe one of the hundreds of Android phones released in 2022 that is not the Galaxy A13.

People bought Samsung and Apple phones, because people have seen that those two brands are the best in the market.
There are a lot of Realme, Xiaomi and Motorola phones at the same price as an Galaxy A13 or A23 for example, yet not so many people buy them.
As for the people who buy iPhones, majority of them are not on their first iPhone. That means they prefer to stick with something they know and appreciate.
Each year is the same situation. I don't know why some people have a hard time understanding and accepting this.

This isn't a global list. It is missing one of the biggest smartphone markets.

Also A13 had version with Helio G80 which is decent for that price range.

funny, globally its either android or ios, with so many smart high iq programmer, billions dollar tech company, there is no third upcoming software to compete with these 2 ? android need to revamp something to chase up, iphone spec is nothing to shout about, its their software. am no geek, only noob, many says android can do these and that while ios are protected here and there, well, volume here speaks for itself where many just want to let the software handle it without any worries of virus, scammer etc.
