Apple ranked third among smartphone vendors worldwide in the second quarter of 2021, according to a new report from the website. Canalys Smartphone charging estimates.


In the second quarter of 2021, smartphone shipments worldwide increased by 12%, especially with the change in the global health situation for the better in light of the spread of vaccines around the world, and the beginning of the return of the new normal for the economy and citizens, and the results were as follows:

XNUMXst place 🥇

◉ Samsung is in the first place with a market share of 19% of smartphones shipped and a growth of 15%, and preliminary data from Canalys says that the company accounted for nearly one in five global shipments of smartphones in the second quarter of 2021.

Last April, the company announced an increase in sales of its flagship phones, as well as cheaper phones.

second place 🥈🥈

◉ Xiaomi ranked second for the first time in its history with a market share of 17%, with a growth rate of 83%.

The report added that Xiaomi is still largely leaning towards the mass market with an average selling price of nearly a quarter of the price of the iPhone, but it plans to increase sales of its high-end devices, such as the Mi 11 Ultra, which start at $ 928.

XNUMXrd place 🥉

◉ Apple came third with 14%, with the lowest growth rate of just 1% year-over-year. Apple reported that iPhone sales reached $47.9 billion between January and March as stores returned to normal business for the first time since the pandemic began. We are waiting for details of this quarter from Apple.


Vivo and OPPO maintain their positions in the top five with 10% each, similar to the previous quarter, and are still doing well.


The growth of Xiaomi's sales is due to its increased interest in overseas markets, with the company increasing shipments by more than 300% in Latin America, 150% in Africa and 50% in Western Europe. Xiaomi is known for selling a lot of affordable smartphones, and the average selling price is about 75% cheaper than iPhones.

Going forward, to beat Samsung and take first place, Canalys suggests that Xiaomi should increase its sales of flagship devices such as the Mi 11 Ultra, which is priced at more than $900.

Global smartphone shipments vary from quarter to quarter, with Apple and Samsung usually occupying the first and second positions. In the last quarter of 2020, Apple was the number one seller of smartphones in the world due to strong sales of iPhone 12 models, so Apple may outperform Xiaomi in the subsequent chapters, especially in light of the launch of the iPhone 13.

Do you think Xiaomi will continue to maintain this rank? Or will it decline after the launch of the iPhone 13? Tell us in the comments.
