Smartphone shipments, as you might know, saw a steep decline last year due to the rise of Coronavirus and nationwide lockdowns. Later, however, with companies launching their devices at virtual events, consumers started buying new phones once again. Now, 2020 saw the launch of many flagship, mid-range, and budget smartphones. So, taking all the smartphones from major players like Samsung and Apple into account, research firm Omdia has curated a list of the most-shipped smartphones in 2020.
Last year, it was the runner-up of 2019 who took home the title for the most-shipped smartphone of 2020. Well, you guessed it right. It is the iPhone 11, with a whopping 64.8 million units shipped around the world. The iPhone 11 contributed the most to the company’s smartphone sales for 2020. It was also the most-activated smartphone during the holidays of last year.
Following the top three spots that are dominated by Apple, Samsung’s budget and mid-range devices such as the Galaxy A51, Galaxy A21s, and the Galaxy A01 are in the fourth, fifth, and sixth position respectively. The Korean giant shipped 23.2 million Galaxy A51, 19.4 million Galaxy A21s, and 16.9 million Galaxy A01 devices globally.
