The report adds that it is because of the delayed iPhone 12 series launch and increased demand for 5G phones that spiked the sales. iPhone 12 mini also made it to the list but secured eighth place. The report suggests that the iPhone 12 mini did not attract many buyers due to its “smaller display and lower battery capacity”.
Xiaomi’s Redmi 9A and Redmi 9 also grabbed a place in the list. As per the report, the smartphones contributed a 25 percent share of Xiaomi’s total sales in that month. In addition to this, Samsung Galaxy A31 and Galaxy A21 also secured a place in the list.
