Samsung, Apple and Huawei appear today in an extremely interesting comparison that aims to show us which of the three manufacturers sells the most premium phones, if it is not already obvious. Those from Counterpoint gathered the data on the sales of premium smartphones globally, and made a list of the companies that sell the most models of this kind, and of course Apple is in the first position.
Apple dominates the sales of premium smartphones that have prices of at least $800, being responsible for 88% of all units sold, without giving actual sales data. This clearly shows that the sales of Samsung, Huawei, etc., are very small in this segment, completely insignificant compared to the total figures, but probably no one is surprised to learn that Asians do not sell many premium phones, right?
Samsung, Apple, Huawei: Which Sells MORE PREMIUM Phones?
Moving now to the premium smartphones with prices of 600-800 dollars, Apple and Samsung dominate the segment with sales of 85% of the total, the Americans being slightly ahead of the Koreans here. Considering that Samsung has few models that cost more than 800 dollars, especially with the massive discounts granted after the launch, it is normal to have a strong presence in the intermediate segment, but even here Huawei does not have a very good position, a sign that the interest in their premium phones are extremely small.
Finally, we reach the segment of phones that cost 400-600 dollars, here Apple shares the first position with Oppo, Samsung and Huawei with slightly lower percentages, but at least the Chinese appear somewhere. If it's not very clear to everyone yet, Apple and Samsung are the only companies that sell expensive premium smartphones with important functions, while Huawei is struggling with the cheap ones, as it has been doing for years, just like the rest Chinese companies.
