Have you ever wondered what the best-selling phones of 2018 have been? Counterpoint, a Chinese analysis company, has shown the list of the best-selling mobiles globally during 2018. It is important to take this information with a grain of salt, since the company that published the report is not usually the most common.
iPhone X is the best-selling model. The company announced it in September 2017 as a 10th anniversary special edition. It went on the market with a price of 1,160 euros for the base version. This terminal has a 5.8-inch screen, A11 Bionic processor and about 3 GB of RAM. It came with iOS 11, although the latest version of iOS is already available. In addition, with a dual camera that allows us to take photos with a blur effect.
iPhone 8, the second best-selling model of 2018. We are talking about the smallest version, with a 4.7-inch screen. This terminal has been a success in some markets due to its high performance (very similar to the iPhone X) and its compact size. In addition, at a price of 800 euros.
iPhone 8 Plus. This is the largest model of the iPhone 8, the third best-selling mobile. The difference from the iPhone 8 is in the screen size, since it has a 5.5-inch panel, unlike the 4.7 of the normal model. In addition, it has a double main camera very similar to that of the iPhone X.
iPhone 7. This model, presented in 2016, was also one of the best-selling terminals in 2018 around the world. And is that when the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus were announced, the price of the iPhone 7 dropped, which made many users opt for this terminal with a 5.7-inch screen, metal body and a single main camera.
The Xiaomi Redmi 5a remains in fifth place. This entry-level mobile from Xiaomi, belonging to the Redmi family, costs less than 100 euros in Spain. The device has a 5-inch panel with HD resolution, a 13-megapixel processor and camera. It has been a very interesting option for those who were looking for something basic for day to day.
Samsung and Apple also in the last places
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the sixth best-selling mobile. This was Samsung's flagship in 2018, a very interesting terminal that came with a main camera, a 5.7-inch screen with QHD + resolution and an eight-core Exynos processor. Its price when it went on sale was 845 euros.
iPhone XS Max. This terminal, presented in September 2018, was one of the best sellers last year. It is Apple's most expensive mobile, but a very interesting option for those saurians looking for a mobile with a large screen, since the panel extends to 6.5 inches.
iPhone Xr. Apple's economic model has not been well accepted by users. That has been noticed in the sale, I know they were not expected. However, it is at number 8 on the list of best-selling mobiles in 2018. This mobile is priced at 860 euros for its basic version, with a 6.1-inch panel and a single main camera that supports portrait mode.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The most powerful model of the Galaxy S9, with a double camera and a 6.1-inch screen, has been the ninth best-selling mobile in 2018 worldwide. It was Samsung's most expensive terminal until the launch of the Galaxy Note 9. Its price was around 900 euros.
Samsung Galaxy J6 is at number 10, an inexpensive mid-range terminal that is around 150 euros.
It is strange not to see any Huawei terminal, since the Chinese company is one of the largest phone manufacturers. We also do not see phones from Oppo, one of the largest manufacturers in China, where they do have some devices in the list of best-selling mobile phones in China according to Counterpoint.
