Every single one of the top ten best-selling smartphones globally is from one of just two companies: Apple and Samsung. Counterpoint Research just released its report on the top ten best-selling phones, and it’s a pretty familiar story from last year: Apple and Samsung cleaned up.

One change: people are spending more for iPhones, with Apple’s pricy Pro line growing to represent half of all iPhone sales so far this year, up from just 24% in 2023. It’s not just the Pro models that are doing well: Apple’s bigger Max models are also cleaning up, a sign that people increasingly want larger smartphones, says Counterpoint.

Here are the top 10 best-selling models of smartphones globally for Q1 2024, along with the percentage of total smartphone sales they captured:

iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4.4%
iPhone 15: 4.3%
iPhone 15 Pro: 3.7%
iPhone 14: 1.9%
Galaxy S24 Ultra: 1.9%
Galaxy A15 5G: 1.5%
Galaxy A54: 1.4%
iPhone 15 Plus: 1.3%
Galaxy S24: 1.0%
Galaxy A34: 1.0%
