iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max All three were best-sellers Phones In the world for the first quarter of 2026, according to a list published on Monday Analytics company Counterpoint Research.
the Basic model iPhone 17 It represents 6% of global sales, but the top 10 list also includes five phones from the Samsung Galaxy A series. Samsung Galaxy A07 4G – the company’s most affordable phone available in certain regions – which is more widely available Galaxy A17 5G It ranked fourth and fifth on the sales list.
Xiaomi’s Redmi A5 is the only phone on this list not made by Apple or Samsung, which includes the iPhone 16, Galaxy A56, and last year’s Galaxy A36. The last two phones were updated during this quarter with Galaxy A57 and Galaxy A37both of which may eventually appear on these sales charts as the year continues.
Counterpoint also noted that Galaxy S26 Ultra, priced at $1,300 It barely missed this top 10 list but it is selling in higher numbers than the S25 Ultra last year.
Low-cost devices like Samsung’s Galaxy A17 5G make up the majority of the list.
While it’s common to see Apple’s iPhone series and lower-cost Galaxy A phones top these sales charts, Counterpoint points out that the high cost of phone components is likely to put more pressure on Android phone makers. For example, the Galaxy A07 saw particularly high sales in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America — perhaps because Samsung provided six years of software and security updates for its less expensive phone. The $200 Galaxy A17 5G, available in the US, makes the same commitment and is the most affordable Galaxy phone in most regions.
Counterpoint Research’s sales figures come as new phones arrive at higher prices, likely due to… Constant lack of RAM. Many phones from Samsung, Motorola and other phone makers have seen price increases. This includes variants of Galaxy Z Fold 7 The price increases nine months after release, and the price increases by $100 to $200 Motorola’s new line of Razr phones.
According to Karan Chauhan, senior analyst at Counterpoint, the expected decline in the phone market is likely to impact people looking for a low-cost device, while shopping for high-end phones is expected to increase. This may be especially noticeable as we move to the release of many more expensive foldable phones, e.g. The new Motorola Razr Fold phone is priced at $1,900 It will go on sale on May 21, and we expect to see new foldable Galaxy phones iPhone Fold rumored Later this year.
