From phone calls to social media to video calls, there are so many services that we can access simply by having a smartphone at hand. In fact, these devices feature advanced technology that now allows you to do practically everything you want.

There are several models available on the market, from which you can choose based on your needs and budget. But what are the best-selling phones in 2024 and how much do they cost? So, let’s go into detail to discover the ranking of the "winning" brands.

The ranking of the best-selling phones in 2024

2024 is coming to an end and it is finally possible to take stock of what has happened over these months. In particular, turning our attention to the world of smartphones we can see how these devices continue to attract the interest of many people who do not miss the opportunity to put their hand in their wallets in order to buy a latest-generation model.

Dominating the market, even during 2024, is Apple which in the third quarter of 2024 occupies the first three places in the ranking of best-selling smartphones, made available by Counterpoint Research.

However, it cannot be helped but notice how the dominance is less marked than in 2023, when Apple occupied all the first four places in the ranking. Samsung, for its part, continues to boast the greatest presence in this special ranking, with 5 devices. Following us we find Apple with 4 devices and Xiaomi with one. A distribution that reflects that of 2023, demonstrating once again how these brands are particularly appreciated by users. Globally, the best-selling smartphone in the third quarter of 2024 was the iPhone 15, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 Pro. In this regard, as highlighted on the Counterpoint website:

"The growing consumer preference for high-end smartphones is gradually closing the market share gap between the base and Pro variants of the iPhone. [...] This shift is helping Apple to increase sales of higher-value devices. Additionally, consumers are opting for newer iPhones, especially in emerging markets, which further contributes to Apple’s higher-value sales".

Samsung earned four spots in the top ten thanks to its larger presence across all geographies and with products in the mid- to low-price range.
