Samsung tops in global smartphone shipments for Q2

Samsung has once again become the world’s biggest smartphone brand in shipments during Q2 of this year, as revealed by market research firm Canalys.

Samsung has strengthened the supply of its lower-end Galaxy A series, which significantly drove the brand towards this achievement. Despite a slowdown within the smartphone market, Samsung has successfully maintained its leadership position, it said in a statement.

During the second quarter of 2022, the leading smartphone manufacturer shipped nearly 60 million smartphone units out of a total of 275 million units globally and captured a 21 per cent share of the global smartphone market compared to 18 per cent last year.

This achievement has primarily been driven by strong sales of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy A series.
