When choosing a brand new device among the top smartphone manufacturers, you face a lot of problems, because everyone wants to sell you some kind of “zest” of the company.

Top sellers of smartphones in 2021 - who are they
The smartphone market in 2021 is overflowing with both traditional models that everyone knows about, and “underdogs”, representing fairly high-quality competing devices. Let's talk about these companies in more detail.
Apple
A brand that is in the top smartphone sales of 2021, although it has the highest price for its products. The corporation was founded back in 1976 in California, USA. Surprisingly, the first phone went on sale only in 2007! The company's products first focused on European and American consumers, but then spread around the world so much that now there are about 1.5 billion "apple" devices around the world. the world!
Why is the brand popular? Unique design and inimitable functions contribute to this every year. Users note the quality of the cameras, even in poor visibility or at night. Important - all equipment works on a specially designed system - iOS. Other brands in the ranking of smartphone manufacturers in 2021 use Android without exception.
Pros:
- the quality of materials stands out;
- powerful processors;
- support for all users;
- phones are just set up.
Flaws:
- price;
- recent models do not have a 3.5mm jack.
Samsung
The company is considered one of the most popular in the production of smartphones based on the Android OS. Over the entire period of its existence, the company has released an impressive line of smartphones, among which any user can find his "favorite". Samsung constantly pleases customers with new chips. One of these is the introduction of a flexible screen into devices. But in recent years, with profits, everything is not so rosy, because demand is falling.
Qualities:
- Multitasking hardware
- Build quality
- Work stability
The disadvantage is the price. Smartphones from the company are famous for their high cost, so it is being replaced by Chinese competitors with fresher views.
Xiaomi

A relatively young company (it appeared in 2010), but has already become the 3rd in smartphone sales, not only in 2021. The head office of the company is located in Beijing. Each phone model is unique in its own way - this is the manufacturer's feature. They do not "re-release" outdated phones, but constantly create new ideas. It is not surprising that Xiaomi, or “Shayomi”, is also engaged in the production of home appliances.
Obvious advantages:
- young competitor;
- Android OS, but with improved performance;
- middle and budget price segment;
- autonomy;
- good camera.
Cons: Too many annoying ads.
Yes, they are not only a “search engine” and a software developer. The first phones of the company appeared in 2016 - the models are in no way inferior to previous brands in terms of build quality and functionality. All further gadgets have a name Google Pixel. In Russia, while such devices are not as popular as abroad. But we are waiting for a “new era” in our country as well.
Advantages:
- build quality is above average;
- excellent autonomy;
- fast work;
- regular updates.
The disadvantage is that the company "orders" phones, because it does not have its own factory.
Huawei/Honor
Don't be surprised why we've combined these firms into one in our 2021 smartphone brand rankings. It's simple: Honor is a subsidiary of Huawei and is directly controlled by it. Smartphones differ from these "companies" in the choice of the target audience - exclusively young people. This is manifested in the bright design and colors of the phones. Now these brands can be found in any mobile phone store - they are so popular.
Pros:
- own chips and processors;
- low pricing policy;
- variety of designs;
- branded applications.
The disadvantage (and for whom is another plus) - the company does not embed the Google system into its devices.
One Plus
The company took a leading position in sales in 2020 and decided to continue to please its consumers in the new season. Specialization - active search for innovative products that can be installed on new phones. The standard processor is Snapdragon, charging on all models is Type-C. And they were the first to connect devices to 5G.
Advantages:
- wide price range;
- optimized products;
- capacious batteries.
Flaws:
- no wireless charging;
- the main camera is lame.
Oppo
The activity of the company started back in 2004, but the devices have become popular just in the last few years. Demand from consumers began after the manufacturer adjusted the operation of all devices and began to produce stable and powerful phone models.
Advantages:
- stability;
- excellent autonomous work;
- budget segment.
The disadvantage is that new processors are not installed.
Sony
One of the multi-brands that produces both mobile equipment and gaming products. The peak of equipment sales was in 2013, when more than 10 million gadgets were bought during the season! At first they worked with Windows, but that has exhausted itself, and now mobile phones are only visible on Android.
Advantages:
- 4k display;
- constant updates;
- diversity.
The disadvantage is the unjustified price.
ZTE
The leader in the production of phones in the budget segment. Customers who are looking for a device with a minimum of functions, mainly for communication, will find it at ZTE.
Advantages:
- ease of use;
- price;
- large batteries.
Flaws:
- primitive camera;
- dim screens.
Realme
The youngest competitor in our top appeared only in 2018. In the last 3 years alone, the company has managed to sell about 70 million models! All because it is focused on budget models.
Advantages:
- simple interface;
- stylish design;
- optimal price.
Flaws:
- does not support "demanding" games;
- faint sound.
