Top smartphones that were bestsellers across the world in 2018
iPhone X
The tenth-anniversary of Apple’s flagship smartphone – iPhone X – is the most sold smartphone of 2018. Considering that it is a collector’s edition smartphone and that its prices fell after the launch of 2018 iPhones, it is no surprise that iPhone X managed to grab the top spot in this list.
iPhone 8
Various reports last year suggested that while Apple has to cut down the production of iPhone XR, it ordered its suppliers to make more of its 2017 iPhones because they saw an increase in sales. So, we did expect the most affordable of the three 2017 iPhones – iPhone 8 – to be on the list. It is the second most sold smartphone of 2018.
iPhone 8 Plus
iPhone 8 Plus followed closely at No. 3. It cannot be said that whether it was the relatively comparatively lesser prices or the presence of a home button which a number of users are still more comfortable with that led to a sudden rise in sales. But the fact that the iPhone 8 Plus is on this list clearly means that it had a good 2018.
iPhone 7
Apple is known for rolling out the latest updates to its older smartphone models. And this is one reason that a number of iPhones are bought even 2-3 years after their launch. While they offer a number of same features as the newer iPhones because of the same version of iOS, they are priced way lesser. This may be the reason that the iPhone 7 made it to the list.
Xiaomi Redmi 5A
The next device on the list is finally not Apple. It’s a budget smartphone from Chinese smartphone company Xiaomi – Redmi 5A. The company is known for its entry-level and affordable smartphones and currently hold the top position in the budget segment of the Indian smartphone market.
Samsung Galaxy S9
Samsung’s 2018 flagship smartphone – Galaxy S9 – is the next best-sold smartphone on the list. The smartphone is known for its powerful performance, excellent camera and of course, its beautiful display.
iPhone XS Max
Apple’s last year’s flagship smartphone – iPhone XS Max – is the next best-sold smartphone of 2018. We should mention that iPhone XS Max was the most expensive of the three devices that were launched by Apple last year.
iPhone XR
iPhone XR was launched as the affordable iPhone by Apple last year. However, as we just saw in the list here, iPhone XS Max did better than iPhone XR in terms of sales. The smartphone has almost the same features as the iPhone XS and XS Max and only differs in the kind of screen that is used, and rear camera.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
Samsung’s Galaxy S series’ higher end variant – Galaxy S9 Plus – is the ninth most sold smartphone of 2018. The smartphone has the same set of specifications as Samsung Galaxy S9 and only differs in terms of the screen size.
Samsung Galaxy J6
The second and the last budget smartphone on the list – Samsung Galaxy J6 – is the tenth on Counterpoint’s list of most sold smartphones of 2018.

Honor 20 Pro leaked image shows a punch-hole display design
The upcoming flagship smartphone from Huawei’s sub-brand – Honor 20 – is scheduled to launch on May 21 in London. Earlier, some leaks and camera renders of the upcoming smartphone had surfaced online showing what it would look like. Weeks ahead of the official launch of the device, another leak has surfaced online which shows the front of the Honor 20 Pro. In the leaked image, it can be seen that the Honor 20 Pro will be housing a hole-punch notched display. Although this is not the first time Honor is coming with a hole-punch cut out display as we have already seen it on the Honor View 20, but this time the hole punch will be bigger than before.
Last month, we saw an image of the Honor 20 Pro’s rear panel which revealed that it would house a quad-camera setup and will come with a gradient back panel. Another leak of the device showed that the Honor 20 Pro will come with a white gradient design with a pinkish hue. But the recent images revealed by DigitalTrends shows the Honor 20 Pro on top of its retail box.
The image shows that the Honor 20 Pro will reportedly sporting a hole-punch camera on the top left corner of the screen. But the thing is, the hole punch camera size on the Honor 20 Pro is bigger than it was on the Honor View 20. Other than that, the device has a thin bezel at the bottom and almost no bezels at the top and sides. There is also a SIM-card slot on the upper left edge of the smartphone. While the display content on top of the Honor 20 Pro shows Amazon’s Alexa along with Fortnite installer. This means that it will support Fortnite gameplay and it might also come with Alexa voice assistant.

Talking about the specifications of the Honor 20 Pro, the leaks and rumours suggest that it will be powered by the Kirin 980 SoC. It will reportedly sport a 40MP main camera with the custom Sony IMX600 image sensor and RGB filter. The main camera will be paired with a 20MP wide-angle camera along with an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom support. The last camera will be a ToF (Time-of-Flight) camera. The Honor 20 Pro is expected to come with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage. The battery of the device might be of a 3,650mAh capacity with support for 22.5W fast charging.
But since these specifications are based on leaks, they should be taken with a pinch of salt. More details about the device will be made available once it launches later this month.
