The latest information from two different market research firms testify that the company saw significant interested in its Galaxy A series handsets.

This has been quite evident from the way the Galaxy A series was received. Samsung had overhauled the entire lineup with the limited purpose of having a better chance competing against its Chinese rivals in fundamental markets like India. It looks similar the strategy has worked.

Samsung is the dominant Android OEM on the list

Research firm Canalys has released its list of the meridian 10 smartphones in 2019. The graph is based on sell-in units estimated past the firm. Apple captured the height ii spots with the iPhone XR and the iPhone xi. Since Apple sells fewer models than its Android competitors, it'south normal for its models to come out on pinnacle of these lists.

As far as Android manufacturers are concerned, Samsung was the 1 to beat. The Galaxy A10 came in 3rd place overall and was the all-time selling Android phone of 2019. Given its entry-level specs, it's safe to say that the majority of the people who bought information technology were either heavily price-sensitive or starting time-time smartphone buyers. That's exactly the demographic that Samsung wanted to target with the device.

The Milky way A50 and Milky way A20 took the fourth and fifth spots respectively. The Galaxy A50 was one of Samsung's all-time-performing phones final yr then its position here is well-deserved. Simply ane Samsung flagship, the Milky way S10+, made information technology on the list in 10th place. Xiaomi was the simply other Android OEM to have a device on this listing.

Counterpoint Research's data paints a slightly different pic. Samsung does occupy the tertiary identify on the list but with the Milky way A50. The Galaxy A10 comes quaternary while the Milky way A20 is able to secure the seventh identify. Over again, Samsung is the dominant Android manufacturer here, with Oppo being the only other ane in fifth place.

This written report further breaks downward the acme 10 smartphones in 2019 past region. The Galaxy A50 was on top in Europe while the Galaxy A10 was the one to trounce in Middle East and Africa as well as Latin America. The Galaxy A50 was likewise the second best-selling smartphone beyond the rest of Asia Pacific.

The bet that Samsung made by revamping the entire Galaxy A series has evidently paid off. It has since launched the Galaxy A51, which now has the reponsibility of taking this momentum forward. Information technology certainly seems up to the chore but we'll accept to wait until next year to see if it was able to do that. If Samsung sticks to its guns, there's no denying that it may once again exist the dominant Android OEM in next twelvemonth's list of top 10 smartphones in 2020.
