While Apple dominates the list, Samsung also makes an entry with the Galaxy A12 in sixth place in 2021. Almost all regions and countries showed strong demand for A12 throughout the year. North America, Latin America, and Western Europe are its main markets.
Xiaomi claims the remaining two non-Apple slots with the Redmi 9A and Redmi 9 making the list. These smartphones account for 22% of the brand’s total sales. Xiaomi is doing well in all regions. China, India, and the Asia Pacific are its main markets.
