Apple and Samsung dominated premium smartphone sales during Q3
91

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Apple iPhone XS Max
Throughout the months of July, August, and September, sales of smartphones valued at $400 or higher accounted for 22% of the global market. This represents an increase of 19% over the year prior. Of the total, Apple's iPhone accounted for almost half of all sales during the quarter. Samsung followed in a distant second with 22% and Huawei in third with 12% – this is the first time Huawei has hit a double-digits.
Elsewhere in the premium segment, the $600-800 group was unsurprisingly dominated by Apple and Samsung once again with a combined share of 82%. However, only Apple was capable of maintaining its popularity in the $800+ segment. In fact, thanks to last year's iPhone X and the newer iPhone XS and XS Max, Apple's iPhone accounted for a whopping 79% of all sales in this section of the market.
