[{"selector":"#anim-7691b9b3-f493-49f2-bf18-9a4208463001","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33db0a77-977c-42f5-a338-93985fee0dab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 201.26008%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Samsung has reigned in the Smartphone industry for so long until Apple dethroned Samsung in the last quarter.

[{"selector":"#anim-f884e46b-a41f-4f63-ad9e-880633f1f59e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cc71a191-96c6-4de9-8b72-e165d490d5a5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 293.45504%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] But as per the Q1 2024 data, Samsung takes back the first position from Apple.

[{"selector":"#anim-eacecdc6-3078-412e-90dd-1d89bbbea831","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9bd4cad4-61d5-41dd-b2cb-6a2267006e9a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 220.84769%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] You will be surprised to know that its not the positive numbers that lead the Samsung to regain its position.

[{"selector":"#anim-aeb08dad-72c1-4afc-a6b3-c1c2e7515f3f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-738a0753-9934-41e2-b613-0b5deec15b0c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 296.19481%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] It’s because Apple is down by 9.6% and Samsung is only down by 0.7%.

[{"selector":"#anim-e1c3cbc1-e379-47d8-89a4-06c2a31fe30d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed266208-e647-4d1b-b83f-842a7e16d428","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 220.84769%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] So sales numbers are still down compared to Q1 2023. And this might not be the real victory for Samsung.

[{"selector":"#anim-b9b4091a-e3ef-4bd0-a38d-35b02519d3f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d7de531d-b0c9-46c2-b85e-3a3e58400ed8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 221.87861%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] In numbers, Samsung sales were at 60.5 million in Q1 2023 and it was 60.1 million in Q1 2024.

[{"selector":"#anim-eca632e8-2bcf-4d5f-ae17-71e07775758d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-994dce47-1ff0-4cfe-b600-15e724ae1cc8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 221.87861%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Xiaomi, Transsion, and Oppo are the other three brands in the top 5 companies with highest sales.
