According to Nick Spencer, senior practice director, ABI Research, Samsung has dominated the market with 27% market share but Apple’s low market share creates significant volume for a few SKUs. Chinese vendor Xiaomi’s device Redmi has made its maiden entry in the list of top 20 smartphones. It is available outside China at an affordable price of $130.Sony and LG smartphones are also there in the list.

This time HTC could not make to top 20-list but ABI Research expects it to make a strong comeback with its flagship devices HTC One M8 and Huawei Ascend P7 in the next quarter. Though HTC One was well-received by critics and smartphone analyst but it could not make to the list this quarter as it was launched couple of months ago.
