Top 10 Mobile Company in World

US-based phone maker Apple leads, with 70 million units of smartphones shipped. That's a share of 23%, making Apple the most popular phone brand in terms of shipments. However, it dropped by 14.1% versus Q4 2021.

Android is the most used mobile OS in the world; with Samsung as the major OEM, it was bound to be the biggest player. According to Omida's data, it recorded shipments of 52.3 million units in Q4, 2023. However, in comparison to Q3 2023, Samsung recorded 58.3 million unit shipments. Even after a year-on-year performance dip, it still stays way ahead of Xiaomi, OPPO, and others. Most of the phones at middle order and lower-tiered ones come with a comparable design and decent software plus hardware offerings.

Xiaomi stays at third place, primarily due to value-for-money phones offered from the lower end and lower midrange segments. Its premium phones are quite competent and spec monsters; for example, the Xiaomi 14 Pro is equipped with a Leica-branded 50MP triple rear camera setup, 120W fast charging, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, 120Hz LTPO display, and HyperOS software. The OEM contributed 41.2 million shipments in Q4 2023, a slight dip compared to the previous quarter.

Transsion is one Chinese brand releasing phones under the brand names Tecno, Infinix, and Itel that offer good competing phones at budget prices. Of these, Tenco will, relatively speaking, hold the more premium offerings in the offing in the form of Phantom X2 Pro. As compared to the brand doing an 11.1 percent quarter-on-quarter surge in the shipments to 30.1 million units during Q3 of 2023, the shipments had surged. It moved to the fourth place in terms of global smartphone shipments during Q4 2023.

OPPO and OnePlus have recorded combined shipments of 24.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 2.8 per cent. It turns out pretty dominant in the offline market of some countries like India. Equipped with Hasselblad cameras, customer imaging NPU, 80W charging, and a display with a 1 billion color scheme, OPPO has some really cool flagships up its sleeve—the Find X5 series. We also have the OPPO Find N3 and Find N3 Flip, with their seemingly creaseless hinge, slim build, high-end cameras, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and many other custom software features.

High-end segment—Vivo has some great offerings. For instance, the X90 series: upstate specifications, exceptional camera quality, and a commanding appearance. It also brings goods to the more affordable segments. The phones, in general, are known for their camera tricks and a decent repertoire all around. It raked in 24 million shipments in Q4 of 2023.

It is now an independent brand, erstwhile subsidiary of Huawei. Phones can have Google Mobile Services and even Qualcomm chips. In India, the brand is known as HTech and is helmed by Madhav Sheth, erstwhile CEO of Realme India. Beating all others to center stage, it packs a quad-curved AMOLED display, 200MP primary camera, 30-day return policy, and more—the Honor 90. It has clocked 15 million units in shipments globally in Q4 2023.

Motorola is a veteran brand in the scene that still comes out with decent phones across price slots. When Motorola comes to one's mind, close-to-stock Android software and bang-for-buck phones are closely associated. Today, it has head-turning foldable phones and power-packed top-end phones. In the recent quarter, it notched a record 12.5 million shipments.

This was once a brand poised to take over Samsung in the Android space, then hit by the US sanctions—it lost momentum and started struggling to secure processors and software for its phones. Of course, it took some time, but the brand managed to ship phones, high-end phones at that. So in Q4 2023, 12.3 million shipments have been made.

Realme didn't have much to offer but certainly some good-selling models like the Realme 11 Pro were in line with standout design. The company, continuing the exact strategy of design and camera-centric devices, unveiled a few days back with the Realme 12 Pro series, touting a distinct vegan leather design, periscope cameras, and curved AMOLED panels. In Q4 2023, the shipments accounted for 12.1 million units—up 6.6 percent from Q3 2023.
