While we wait for 2018’s phone launches with anticipation, let’s take
a moment and glance back over our shoulder and have a look at your most
popular phones of 2017.
Before we get into the phones themselves, it became apparent that 3 brands dominated the top 20.
The top 20 most popular phones, brand breakdown
Samsung led the way with 35%, followed by Xiaomi 25% and Nokia 15%.
The remaining 25% comprised OnePlus, LG, Motorola, Huawei and Apple with
1 entry a piece.
So let’s get going and look at the top 20 in more detail.
Top 10
Your most popular phone of 2017 was the Nokia 6, like us, it was
clear that a huge number of you were interested in the revived Nokia
brand, 27 million of you in fact. This was one of only two phones to
break the 20 million hits barrier. As with previous years it just goes
to show that it’s not always the flagship phones that prove most
popular. The Nokia 6 with its premium build quality, good display,
mostly stock Android and a camera that pleasantly surprises with image
quality only disappointed with its Snapdragon 430 SoC .
In second was the Samsung Galaxy S8 with 23 million hits. Following
its launch we commended the S8 for its size and performance, stating
that it set the benchmark for flagship pocket-ability. We’ll leave it up
to you to decide if the iPhone X bettered it later in the year.
Xiaomi with the Redmi Note 4 came in third with its high-quality
design, blazing-fast performance, and great battery life offering a lot
of bang for your buck.
The rest
Following the trend set by the top 3, Samsung dominated the rest of
the top 20 most popular phones taking another six spots, followed by
Xiaomi with another 4 spots and Nokia with another two spots.
Reflecting the market in general you can see that it’s not dominated
by flagship devices as you look to find the right balance between price
and performance.
