APPLE INCREASES MARKET SHARE
Samsung sold 226.6 million phones in 2023. With this, Apple managed to achieve a 20.1 percent market share, while Samsung's share remained at 19.4 percent.
The increase in players such as Google Pixel and Honor in the Android-powered smartphone market was cited as the biggest factor in Samsung's decline. It was also observed that the rise of Huawei in China negatively impacted Samsung's sales.
