With a huge lag behind the leader, the second place in the Omdia rating was taken by the Samsung Galaxy A51, the supply volume of which amounted to 6.8 million units. Next come the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro smartphones, whose sales in the first quarter reached 6.6 million and 6.1 million units, respectively. The iPhone XR, which was the best-selling smartphone in the first quarter of last year, reached 4.7 million units in the first three months of this year. As for other current-generation iPhone models, iPhone 11 Pro shipments totaled 3.8 million units in the quarter (8th place) and 4.2 million units for the iPhone 11 Pro Max (6th place).

In the seventh-place we have the Galaxy A10s with 3.9 million units sold and the Galaxy A30s in the tenth place with 3.4 million units.

“For more than five years— even amid shifting conditions in the wireless market and the global economy— one thing has remained consistent in the smartphone business: Apple has taken either the first or second rank in Omdia’s global model shipment ranking,” said Jusy Hong, director of smartphone research at Omdia. “Apple’s success is the result of its strategy to offer relatively few models. This has allowed the company to focus its efforts on a small number of products that appeal to a broad selection of consumers and sell in extremely high volumes.”
