On the other hand, only one Samsung model made the top 10 this year. Like last year, a mid-end smartphone, the Galaxy A51, took the second place with a total of 11.4 million units shipped. This is a significant shift for Samsung, as this list featured four Samsung\u2019s models last year. No Samsung flagship device reached the top 10.<\/p>\n Xiaomi has four top 10 this year \u2013 all from the Redmi line of devices. Xiaomi replaced Samsung\u2019s entry-level and mid-range devices with its own models in this year\u2019s top 10.<\/p>\n Xiaomi doubled the number of models in the top 10 from last year\u2019s list. Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro models took 3rd and 4th place, respectively.<\/p>\n The two models were priced at $132 and $162, respectively. In addition, Xiaomi\u2019s Redmi 8A and Redmi 8, ranking 8th and 9th, were priced at $85 and $97, respectively.<\/p>\n The performance of lower priced smartphone models is leveling upwards and consumers\u2019 preference for low-end models is growing due to the economic recession, this makes Xiaomi smartphones popular in emerging markets.<\/p>\n Lastly, total shipment leader in Q2 2020 Huawei, failed to make the top 10 list with any of its devices for the first half of this year.<\/p>\n Huawei\u2019s smartphone business is under increasing pressure from US sanctions, impacting the company\u2019s overseas business. Other OEMs not making this top ten list include OPPO and vivo.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Top-10-most-shipped-smartphones-e1599028458631.png\")
