2021 is about to end, but which smartphones were the most sold during the year? Well, according to official IDC data, to take the crown as the most loved company by users in 2021 is Apple, given that in the top five we find four devices from the Cupertino company. Let’s take a detailed look at the ranking starting from the fifth position.
The best-selling smartphones of 2021
Apple reconfirms itself as a leader in the sector by managing to place iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Pro Max e iPhone 12 Pro respectively in third, fourth and fifth position, while the basic version of theiPhone 12, the best-selling smartphone of this 2021.
To break the dominance of the bitten Apple we thought Samsung, which managed to take home the second position of the ranking thanks Galaxy A12. The loyalty of Apple users, however, is still unattainable and above all strong enough to totally crush the competition.
iPhone 12 Pro e Pro Max
Fourth and fifth positions are occupied by iPhone 12 Pro e Pro Max, two models of 2020, but still very popular with Apple users. The difference between the two devices lies mainly in the size of the display, from 6.7 inches in the case of the Pro Max model.
Excellent performance and ease of use make these two smartphones suitable for practically any occasion, which is why they have conquered two positions in this ranking.
iPhone 11
iPhone 11 is the iPhone model released by Apple in 2011, but evidently still much loved by Apple users. The reasons are various, not least the price, which now stands at decidedly more accessible standards than its more recent cousins.
The device is equipped with a dual camera system, a 6.1-inch liquid retina LCD display and more than enough autonomy for intensive daily use.
Samsung Galaxy A40
As mentioned earlier, in third position we find the only smartphone not belonging to the Apple family, the Samsung Galaxy A40. The reason why it is so high in the ranking is easy to say: unlike the solutions offered by Apple, the A40 is not a high-end device, on the contrary it represents one of the cheapest smartphones of the entire range of the Korean house.
It goes without saying that this smartphone is therefore the choice of all those people who are not looking for a phone with great claims to efficiency, an element that has made it jump into second position in terms of sales.
iPhone 12
In first position he sits unchallenged‘iPhone 12, the most successful smartphone of all 2021. The model was presented for the first time during the autumn of last year and since then it seems to have had no rival.
