Top 10 Best-Selling Smartphones of 2020: iPhone 11 Dominates, iPhone SE Takes Second Place

Buzz

Omdia Research has just released the list of the best-selling smartphones in 2020, and this time, the lineup includes some surprising faces that many didn't expect to see among the top 10 best-selling smartphones of the past year.

Leading the list as usual is the iPhone 11 (selling 64.8 million units), which boasts all the essential elements to achieve this feat: great specs, competitive pricing (especially with the release of the iPhone 12), excellent camera quality. In the final 2020 sales standings, Apple also introduces newer iPhone models such as the SE 2020 (selling 24.2 million units), iPhone 12 mini (selling 14.8 million units), iPhone 12 (selling 23.3 million units), and iPhone 12 Pro Max (selling 16.8 million units). When combining the total sales of the three iPhone 12 series models released in October, Apple achieves a record-breaking figure of 54.9 million units, a remarkable milestone for a smartphone manufacturer within just the last two months of the year.

Regarding Apple's biggest competitor, Samsung, their best-selling smartphone last year was the Galaxy A51 (23.2 million units sold). Certainly, the Galaxy A51 resembles the case of the iPhone 11, meaning that within its price range, it offers great value for money. Additionally, the Galaxy A51 comes with pioneering macro camera technology for close-up shots, as experienced and reviewed by Mytour. You can revisit the Galaxy A51 review below. Furthermore, the list includes three more Samsung representatives, namely the Galaxy A21s, Galaxy A01, and Galaxy A11.

The only remaining name in the top 10 is Xiaomi's representative, the Redmi Note 9 Pro, with 15 million units sold. Some may find it surprising to see the iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 12 mini, two devices that many have rated poorly and predicted to be Apple's least popular, yet the list somewhat proves otherwise. Somewhere out there, there are still many users who love compact phones with performance that ensures smooth operation for both heavy and light tasks. I've experienced the iPhone SE 2020 myself and truly appreciate its compact yet powerful nature. There aren't many flaws to point out about this phone except for its outdated design and slightly inferior battery compared to modern smartphones. Apart from that, one would need to really nitpick to find faults with this device.
