The smartphone market is one of the most saturated of all. Every day we see how various terminals are launched that greatly expand the offer, thus giving consumers a lot of different options to choose from, some better than others.
However, there are always preferences for specific brands, and companies such as Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei, among others, are the ones that are most positioned as favorites. For this reason, their mobiles tend to enjoy greater popularity and better sales numbers, compared to those of other less well-known manufacturers, which are many and, for the most part, Chinese. The Redmi Note 8, after having exceeded the figure of 30 million units sold, is a clear example of this, since It was cataloged as the mid-range king of the first quarter of this 2020, being the best-selling globally.

According to the market analysis that the firm Canalys made and just published a few months ago, the standard Redmi Note 8 was the sixth most popular smartphone globally in the fourth quarter of 2019. This device, together with the Redmi Note 8T, became the best seller in the first quarter of this year, which makes very clear the climb he made in terms of preference.

In question, were about 8 million units that were shipped of this model worldwide. The Pro version was the fourth most popular mobile, while the Redmi 8A was placed in the table of Canalys like the eighth.
The second best-selling device of that period belongs to South Korean Samsung, the world's largest smartphone maker. El Galaxy A51 was the model chosen by millions of users in the first quarter, thus generating shipments of more than 6 million globally.

The iPhone 11 was even more popular, with 18 million shipments around the globe. However, being a high-performance smartphone, we do not count it as such, since the aforementioned belong to the mid-range. Even so, the Cupertino brand shows, once again, that it continues to put mobile phones in the top positions of the rankings.
The Galaxy A10s, Galaxy A20s and Galaxy A01 were also part of the best-selling terminals between January and March of this 2020. With this data it is clear that Samsung's Galaxy A series is one of the most popular today, as they have a loyal community of users who choose their models, which represent a good value for money.
Android manufacturers have to work harder to put flagship terminals in this list of CanalysBecause only Apple, with its iPhone 11, has been the only company that managed to do it with its most recent models. We do not see anywhere high-ranking Xiaomi mobile phones, for example, which have a value for money much higher than that of the vast majority. Apple continues to prevail in many ways, despite the fact that its phones are not the cheapest on the market.
The iPhone 11, which leads the ranking, currently sells for almost 800 euros, while the Redmi Note 8 is offered for less than 200 euros. The price gap between the two phones is very large, in favor of the latter, of course. Still, the iOS smartphone is much more in demand, even though it packs a punch for the average pocketbook.
Apple is the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, while Samsung and Huawei are the first and second, respectively. However, when it comes to selling high-ranking mobiles, it tends to stand out more than these two. This also means that it is superior in this section to companies such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, Realme, ZTE and others.
