Summer is here and with it the results of mobile phone sales for the second quarter of the year. The top two manufacturers are Samsung and AppleAnd although the smartphone market is not growing much, and globally they were sold only 1% more in the second quarter of the year than in the same period the previous year, Samsung is doing exceptionally well.
Samsung has already impressed with several of its phone models this year. For more demanding users, there is Galaxy S25 Ultra and other advanced phones from the same series, for less demanding ones Galaxy A56, respectively Galaxy A36Statistics published by International Data Corporation (IDC) show that the last two phones provided Samsung with strong growth and thanks to them managed to overtake even Apple.
In the second quarter of the year, Samsung managed to sell a total of 58 million mobile phones, which is almost 5 million more than in the same period last year. The South Korean giant thus gained 19,7% market share and became the world's largest smartphone vendor.

Apple In contrast, it holds a 15,7% market share and has managed to sell over the last three months 46,4 million iPhones. Its competitive disadvantage is that it will probably not release new models until the fall. And that is when its sales could start growing again. That would Apple He needed it, because he is currently losing his breath due to the introduction of American tariffs and problems with sales in China. A lot of that is why is betting on the iPhone 17 and especially on ultrathin iPhone 17 Air.

The third position in the smartphone sales ranking was occupied by Xiaomi, which holds a 14,4% market share and sold 42,5 million phones. This is literally how it begins Apppeoplechat on the back. With a great distance there is then vivo, which sold 27,1 million mobile phones and took fifth place Tecno with sales slightly exceeding 25 million.
In the next quarter, sales may be significantly affected by new foldable phones from Samsung, i.e. Galaxy Z Fold7 a Galaxy Z Flip7. However, given their price tag, interest is unlikely to be that great, so Samsung's biggest drivers will likely continue to be mid-range mobile phones.
So four percent isn't that big of a difference... well, next time Samsung is the world number one and Apple so a two.
However, it is also necessary to take into account that the portfolio Samsung is incomparably higher than Apple and also offers love endings at a low price, which is Apple It is not a threat and in my opinion it never will be.
Anyway, I wish both manufacturers well.
If we take it that way, we have, if we don't want to, a clean act with almost certainty that our data will not flow to the regime there, with only three brands to choose from, and that is Apple,Google and Samsung.
