Top Selling Smartphones
Let's run through the most popular and frequently used smartphone brands to understand what we are talking about. Here are the main disadvantages and advantages of phones from different companies. Which mobile phone manufacturers have been the most buzzing in the last few years? Perhaps most often we hear and see brands such as Apple, Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung, LG, Vivo, Honor and others.
Let's start with Apple. The company makes very stylish high-quality smartphones, but quite expensive. For a consumer of average income, they are not always available. But, despite this, they are bought very often.
Smartphone maker Huawei has become a popular brand for its value for money. The models of smartphones of this brand use wireless high-speed modules and various new technologies, for example, a dual camera and others. In some models, the batteries are a little weak.
Xiaomi smartphones are very popular in China, in fact, this is a smartphone from a Chinese manufacturer. The value for money makes this gadget quite buyable. The devices are multifunctional, relatively powerful and fast, and stylish as well, but they also have various bugs and shortcomings, which may be why he did not become the leader in smartphone sales in the world.
Samsung - this brand is almost a legend in the world of technological devices, and their smartphones are the best-selling smartphones in the world for several years now. High-quality assembly, powerful hardware, long-term operation of the device helps it get into the smartphone sales ranking, and it has been there for a long time. Not happy, of course, the price of the device itself and its repair. But you have to pay for the brand.
Expensive LG models are above all praise, but it's better not to mess with budget models.
Vivo is a smartphone manufacturer and a subsidiary of the famous BBK company. The company is introducing new technologies into its gadgets and competing with the main brands of the Chinese market Huawei and Xiaomi. In some ways, they can compete with others, such as Apple or Samsung, which have not yet developed the in-screen fingerprint scanner technology, but Vivo has.
Honor is a sub-brand of Huawei, so its pros and cons are about the same as those of its "big brother".
