The machine brother found that there was a recent list of mobile phone sales, which caused a lot of discussion in the machine circle.
Now, here's the "List of the World's Best-Selling Mobile Phones in 2021" published by researcher Counterpoint.
To put it bluntly, it is the ten best-selling phones last year.
As the fans can see, Apple has double-clicked the list this time.
At a glance, the first place is the iPhone, the second place is the iPhone, and the third, fourth, and fifth are all iPhones...
A total of 10 mobile phones list, iPhone won a total of 7 models.
As for the rest of the brands, only Redmi accounted for 2 models, and Samsung 1 model.
Many netizens saw this scene and sighed:
In the past year, Apple has really killed crazy.
But, after watching more news of various iPhone 12 and 13 hot sales last year, for this result, the machine brother is a little surprised, but it is also good.
On the contrary, some models that appear in the list, in addition to the iPhone generation, make the machine brother feel a little surprised.
For example, the eighth-ranked one —
iPhone SE2
As we all know, as a "cheap" iPhone released in 20 years.
The iPhone SE2 is almost no different from the iPhone 8 except for the chip replacement A13.
But it is such a mobile phone that has been called "inventory clearance" by many people since its release.
It has remained the 8th best-selling phone in the world in the past year.
Not only has it overturned a number of Android flagships, but even the mini models that it has been pushing in the past two years have also been left behind by it.
Maybe the impact of the share alone is not strong enough.
Another data released by Counterpoint found that the total sales of smartphones worldwide last year were about 1.387 billion units.
In other words, the iPhone SE2, which accounts for 1.6%, sold about 22.19 million units last year.
Needless to say, it is almost enough to match the total sales of many well-known brands.
Let's go to the specific regional sales distribution.
Japan, the United States and China ranked in the top three.
Among them, Japan accounts for 33% of total sales, it seems that Japanese friends like small and cheap iPhones.
Coincidentally, not long ago, Apple also released the new iPhone SE3.
Still that set of familiar knife techniques, exactly the same appearance, this time the A13 was replaced by A15, and there was also an additional 5G.
I think that the sales of the iPhone SE2 may be the basis for Apple to dare to do so.
As long as you change a chip, you can easily sell tens of millions of units.
In this business, it is no wonder that Cook would rather give up mini than SE.
The machine brother has a premonition that next year's SE3 will continue to appear on this list.
Although, many people now call it "e-waste".
Samsung Galaxy A12
It may be that in the impression of many fans, Samsung is currently one of the few brands that can compete with Apple on high-end models.
Even when its presence at home is getting lower and lower.
Coupled with the fact that Samsung ranks first in the world in terms of total sales all year round, it is reasonable to say that like the S series and note series should be selling very hot, right?
But the reality is that in this list, Samsung's high-end models are also completely destroyed.
The only mobile phone selected this time is a Galaxy A12.
What is this phone?
MediaTek P35, 4G, 2020 on the market, proper low-end machine.
One thing to say, Samsung's top flagship appeared on the best-seller list, not without it.
Just the last time, it goes back to the Samsung Galaxy S9 in 2018.
At the time, the phone ranked sixth in the year.
So, now Samsung is in the high-end market, getting farther and farther away from Apple.
In the end, Samsung is getting worse and worse? Or is Apple getting better?
Redmi 9A/Redmi 9
In fact, the matter of red rice on the list is not a new thing.
After all, it is also one of the regular customers on the annual best-seller list.
The main surprise of the brother is that the models on the list this time are not the newly released Note10, Note11 and other models.
Instead, redmi 9A and Redmi 9, which have been released for nearly two years.
The two ranked seventh and tenth, respectively, and according to Counterpoint, these two models accounted for 22% of Xiaomi's total sales last year.
What level? Based on the total sales volume of Xiaomi of about 187 million last year, these two models alone sold more than 40 million units.
Good guys, no wonder the Note series is out to 11, this Redmi 10 has not been released.
It turned out to be because it sold so well.
However, seeing this, the machine brother is also a little curious:
Like the Redmi 9/9A, two years ago, how about using the hundred-dollar machine now? Can you still cope with daily use?
To this end, the machine brother rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found this one from a large number of machines - Redmi 9.
The machine released in June 2020 started at 799 yuan and 9A at 599 yuan.
Seeing this appearance now, does it remind everyone of the K30 of that year?
Speaking of the main topic, as a hundred-dollar machine, the machine brother feels that the workmanship of Redmi 9 is still wide.
Although the fuselage is a one-piece plastic, the treatment of the bezel is still in place, and there are no obvious gaps.
The position of the back fingerprint is placed next to the camera, which also looks slightly less obtrusive.
More importantly, this mobile phone is still quite heavy and weighty in the hand.
Of course, about this phone, I believe everyone is more concerned about its performance.
The processor used in the Redmi 9 is mediatek G80, and the machine brother has a 6+128GB version.
First of all, in the daily more mainstream WeChat, Douyin, iQiyi and other apps, Redmi 9 is still stable to use.
Pro-test, with Redmi 9 brush brother article, very smooth.
Even if you want to play the game, it... Not completely.
The machine brother tried it, and the minimum picture quality of "Glory of Kings" was +60 frame mode. It's actually quite smooth, and the average frame number is less than 50.
MIUI may not be very stable in the past two years, but in the maintenance of old models, there is still nothing to say.
Redmi 9 comes pre-installed with MIUI 11, but is now available for MIUI 12.5 Plus.
Even the android version, also ate the Android 11, more burning than some flagship machines, understand everything.
And it also has an advantage, that is: 60Hz MIUI, it is really unable to drop the frame ah.
Even the camera, the Redmi 9, has caught up with the 20-year boom of stacking cameras.
Can you believe it? On these hundreds of dollars of mobile phones, 13MP + 8MP + 5MP + 2MP, a full four cameras.
More than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra in the hands of the machine brother, it is very outrageous.
But the photo effect, you know.
Asking is enough to scan the code.
The machine brother took a comparison between the group and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, and everyone should be a picture of it.
The price is cheap and the performance is enough for daily use.
I think that's probably why the Redmi 9 series is still selling well.
Finally, let's talk about the list.
In general, at present, in the sales of high-end models, Apple still has a bit of a unique taste.
Android brands want to squeeze in, relying only on low-end entry models.
Speaking of which, it is actually quite helpless.
Hopefully, at this time next year, we'll see more new faces.
