In Q1 2021, worldwide smartphone shipments reached 347 million units, up 27% year on year, says a new report by canalys.com
Samsung took 1st place, shipping 76.5 million to take a 22% share. Apple shipped 52.4 million iPhones, to take a 15% share. Its iPhone 12 Mini has sold below expectations, but strength in other iPhone 12 models, as well as stronger demand for the older iPhone 11, helped it maintain strong momentum.
Xiaomi clocked its best single-quarter performance ever, growing 62% & shipping 49.0 million units. Oppo & Vivo completed the top 5, shipping 37.6 million units & 36.0 million units, respectively. Huawei, which no longer includes Honor, is now in 7th place with 18.6 million units, as the former world number one remains shackled by US sanctions, said the report.
