When choosing a high-end phone, we have a wide range of options thanks to solutions from Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi and other brands. But, Within the premium sector, what is the best-selling phone?
Now, thanks to a Canalys report collected by Phone Arena colleagues, we can find out what has been best-selling high-end phone in Q1 2023. And Apple is the clear dominator.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the best-selling high-end phone
In this way, its new flagship, the impressive iPhone 14 Pro Max has positioned itself as the best-selling high-end phone. And beware, that in the following positions we have the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 and iPhone 13.
We must bear in mind that we are talking about high-end, making it clear that Apple is the one that dominates the market. But there is a reason for this: sales in the United States and in China.

Another very interesting detail of the statistics that Canalys has published can be seen in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, which sneaks into the list of the 15 best-selling phones over 500 euros.
In this way, although folding phones have a long way to go to position themselves as an option in the mid-range, it is clear that they are a product that is of interest. Keep in mind that the manufacturing process for this type of screen is very complicated, which makes the price more expensive.
But the research and development division of Samsung Display, the display division of Samsung, has been working for a long time to achieve the next goal: to start launch folding phones under 700 euros. And for that, it won’t be long, maybe a couple of years at the most…
