In this day and age, it seems like everyone has a smartphone. They’ve become such an integral part of our lives that it’s hard to imagine living without one. But with so many different brands and types of smartphones on the market, how can you know which one is right for you? Here is a list of the 10 most used smartphone brands, based on a survey of 1,000 people. These are the top brands that people use, in order from most to least popular.
Apple
It is no secret that Apple’s iPhone is one of the most popular smartphone brands on the market. In fact, according to data from Statista, as of Q4 2019, Apple held a market share of 48.2 percent in the United States. This is significantly higher than the second most popular brand, Samsung, which held a market share of 20.3 percent during the same time period.
There are several reasons for the popularity of Apple’s iPhone. One reason is that Apple offers a wide range of iPhones at different price points. For example, the recently released iPhone 11 starts at $699, while the more expensive iPhone 11 Pro Max starts at $1,099. This gives consumers a lot of options to choose from depending on their budget.
Another reason for the popularity of Apple’s iPhone is the wide range of apps and games that are available for download through the App Store. There are over 2 million apps available on the App Store, and many of them are made specifically for use with an iPhone. This gives users a lot of flexibility when it comes to customizing their phone to fit their needs and interests.
Finally, Apple’s iPhones are also popular because they are generally very well-made and reliable phones. Apple takes care to design and manufacture its products with quality in mind, and this is evident in its iPhones. Because of this attention to detail, iPhones often last longer than other smartphones on the market.
As of May 2019, Google is the most used smartphone brand in the United States, with a 43.6% market share. Google’s flagship smartphone line is the Pixel, which was first released in 2016. The Pixel 3 and 3a are the latest models in the line.

Despite its impressive growth, Huawei has faced several challenges in recent years. In May 2019, the U.S. government placed Huawei on a trade blacklist, citing national security concerns.
