The iPhone 7 remains the world’s most popular smartphone model overall, due to a compelling blend of user-friendly design, extensive supporting apps, and widespread retail presence for the device.
Executive Director Neil Mawson added:
Samsung’s Galaxy S8 has instantly become the world’s most popular Android smartphone model, due to its attractive curved-screen design, a rich portfolio of software apps, and best-in-class retail distribution across dozens of countries.
Xiaomi’s Redmi 4A took a 2% share, based on its position as the fourth-largest smartphone vendor in China and the second-largest in India. Strategy Analytics noted that Xiaomi is selling a large volume of devices through online channels in those countries and elsewhere.
