Analysts named the 15 best-selling top-end smartphones

Researchers from the analytical company Canalys called the most popular premium smartphones in the first quarter of 2023. This category includes devices worth $500 or more (from there, from 40,500 rubles).

Analysts noted a 13.3% decline in smartphone shipments compared to the same period last year. At the same time, sales of premium devices, on the contrary, increased by 4.7%. This category accounted for more than a third of smartphones sold in the first three months of 2023.

Here's what the top 15 smartphones for $500 and up look like:

• iPhone 14 Pro Max
• iPhone 14 Pro
• iPhone 14
• iPhone 13
• Galaxy S23 Ultra
• iPhone 14 Plus
• Galaxy S23
• iPhone 12
• Galaxy S23 Plus
• Galaxy Z Flip 4
• iPhone SE (2022)
• Galaxy S22
• Xiaomi 13
• Huawei Mate 50
• Galaxy S21 FE 5G

The list is dominated by Apple and Samsung devices - in the top 7 and 6 smartphones of these brands, respectively (although the graph shows that iPhones are sold much more actively). But the Chinese are lagging behind: only one Xiaomi and Huawei got into the rating.
