Although we’re still a couple of days away from the end of the year’s first quarter and most likely at least a few weeks away from the release of a new batch of global smartphone market reports, Strategy Analytics seems to have disclosed some early preliminary data on the industry’s February 2021 sales numbers.
A grand total of 24 million Galaxy handsets were reportedly sold worldwide this February, compared to “only” 23 million iPhones. That created a tiny gap between Samsung and Apple’s 23.1 and 22.2 percent market shares respectively, with Xiaomi ranking a fairly distant third at 11.5 percent and Vivo and Oppo following closely behind their domestic arch-rival with solid 10.6 and 8.5 percentage points of their own.
All that being said, Samsung can’t be happy with its tiny aforementioned advantage over the industry’s silver medalist, which somehow improved its global iPhone shipments in February 2021 by a colossal 74 and 35 percent from the same period of 2020 and 2019 respectively.
