10 best-selling phones of 2022: Two from Samsung, rest Apple’s

Counterpoint Research published a new report on the top 10 best-selling phones of 2022 that completes with two models from Samsung and the rest from Apple. This report is like a danger siren for the Galaxy maker as the only two spots are secured by cheap phones!

According to Counterpoint’s “top 10 best-selling phones for 2022” report, Apple grabbed whopping eight spots, and the remaining two spots were taken by Samsung with Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A03. Apple’s iPhone 13 was the best-selling smartphone of last year.

Samsung

The report has nothing exciting for Galaxy fans as Samsung took two spots on the list with the entry-level Galaxy A13 and Galaxy A03. Interestingly, Counterpoint’s best-selling smartphones list has just two 4 G-supported models, which are from Samsung, while others are 5G-capable from Apple.

Similar to the legendary Galaxy A12, its sequel – Galaxy A13 – continued to perform well, offering attractive specifications for its price (<$250). The Galaxy A03 was the most affordable smartphone on the list, featuring a chipset supplied by UNISOC.

Apple

Last year, the iPhone maker became the first OEM to capture sweeping eight spots in the list of top 10 best-selling smartphones. The top-10 list contributed 19% of the total global smartphone sales in 2022, the same as in the corresponding previous year.

In 2022, Apple’s iPhone 13 became the best-selling smartphone of 2022, contributing 28% of iPhone sales. It was the best-selling smartphone in major markets such as China, the US, the UK, Germany, and France.

After the launch of the iPhone 14 series, the price cuts of the iPhone 13 further drove sales in developing markets. To be noted, the vanilla model’s sales were two times more than that of the Pro Max, 2022’s second best-selling phone.
