Market research expert Harshit Rastogi stated that Apple continues to maintain its leading position in the mobile market. The iPhone 16 is the best-selling device and has significantly higher sales than other products on the list.

In addition, the iPhone 17 product line, despite being recently launched, has quickly achieved great success.

"In its first quarter after launch, the iPhone 17 series achieved sales that were 16% higher than its predecessor. Demand for the iPhone 17 grew strongly in key markets such as the US, China, and Western Europe."

"The standard iPhone 17 version is considered the most outstanding product, offering valuable improvements such as a higher screen refresh rate, more RAM, and larger storage capacity. These upgrades have led to a significant increase in sales, almost matching those of the Pro versions," Rastogi shared.

The launch of the iPhone 16e also contributed to overall growth. The device made it easier for users to access the Apple ecosystem. Japan and the US are key markets for this product line with stable sales.

Samsung occupies 3 positions in the ranking of best-selling smartphones in 2025. Among them, the Galaxy A16 5G is the best-selling Android phone, offering a balanced experience between hardware and software.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra also made the list, ranking 9th. According to senior analyst Karn Chauhan, sales of the Galaxy S25 Ultra have more than tripled in Japan and achieved double-digit growth in India.

"Samsung's S series has held its position on the list for the second consecutive year, reflecting the brand's focus on its flagship product line. The sales gap between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the A series is also gradually narrowing, despite significant price differences," Chauhan noted.

Experts predict the mobile market will face significant challenges in 2026. Memory shortages will have a negative impact, particularly on the entry-level and mid-range mobile segments.
