The list reveals that both Apple and Samsung have gained nine places in the top ten of overall smartphone sales in 2019. According to the report, although global sales have declined in recent years, manufacturers need not worry as millions of people are still buying smartphones. The smartphone industry is constantly changing, especially with the rise of 5G, so expect to see products from other manufacturers on this year's list in the 2021 list.
