If the phone sells well, then most often it means that it is cool. Frank slag will not be sold, as its main "jambs" will come out on the forums and in the recall in the first weeks of purchase. Next is a selection of the best-selling smartphones over the past 2 months. The review is based on Yandex.Market data.
1st place - Xiaomi Redmi 6A
The smartphone breaks sales records - 10,455 units were sold in 2 months according to Yandex.Market. This is the best state employee in its segment, which can be taken for 6200-6500 rubles on average, and on Tmall - in general for 5700 rubles.
Redmi 6A is a high-quality dialer phone with a compact 5.45-inch HD screen and a 13 MP camera. Inside, there is a MediaTek Helio A22 processor and a 3000 mAh battery, which gives 2-3 days of work in moderate use mode. The device is taken primarily for calls, but it will also play HD videos on YouTube without any problems and even play weak games.
As for the shortcomings, first of all it is quiet sound and lack of memory. If you take a phone with 16 GB of memory, then be prepared that more than half of the disk will go under the software. However, for 6000 rubles this is the best solution on the market, which explains the growth in the number of sales on the market.
2nd place - iPhone 6S
Over the past 2 months, 7798 people have bought this model. This is strange, considering that the smartphone was released in 2015. With the advent of the new flagship iPhone XS, XS Max, XR, the older iPhone 6S fell in price, which is what people use. It can be taken on average for 20 thousand rubles.
The model is old, but still updated, runs on a 14-nm Apple A9 processor and is equipped with a 4.7-inch IPS screen. The obvious plus is the size. The smartphone is compact, and compared to the huge trendy "shovels" looks in the black.
The device photographs well - many "state employees" of 2019 issue the worst quality. Plus, it shoots video in 4K, is equipped with an NFC chip and is generally of high quality on all fronts. The only disappointment is the 1715 mAh battery and the lack of fast charging. Almost all smartphones in 2019 up to 20 thousand rubles come with fast charging, and their batteries are better.
3rd place - Samsung Galaxy S8
5180 people - that's how many people have purchased this flagship over the past two months. They can be understood - the phone is very cool. In terms of price / quality ratio, it is even better than new samsung S9 and especially S10.
samsung galaxy The S8 was released in 2017, but even by today's standards it is cool and better than many 2018-2019 flagships that sell for a lot of money. By the way, I got 1st place in the apparatus, and quite deservedly so.
The smartphone is equipped with an IP68 waterproof housing, the world's best OLED screen in 2017-2018 according to DisplayMate. Inside is a powerful 10nm Exynos 8895 processor, which is guaranteed to pull everything, including games. The camera is also good, with a resolution of 12 megapixels, f / 1.7 aperture optics and optical stabilization.
Fast and wireless charging, solid autonomy, NFC included. Even 2 years after the release, the phone is selling well and receiving positive reviews, which explains its popularity in the market.
4th place - Redmi Note 7
The number of sales for the last 2 months is 5230 units. The phone will cost an average of 14k rubles, this is a “fresh” model on the market, which is mainly bought on Aliexpress. This means that the actual sales figure in recent months is much higher.
Redmi Note 7 received a new camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels and a Quad-Bayer filter, a cool IPS screen with Full HD + resolution and accurate colors, a good mid-range Snapdragon 660 processor, a 4000 mAh battery + QC 4.0 fast charging. The phone takes excellent photos during the day, can withstand 32.5 hours of communication and more than 14 hours of video playback at a brightness of 200 cd/m2. You will find a detailed review of the phone.
And although up to 14 thousand rubles, this may best smartphone on the market, there is no NFC chip and 4K video shooting function, but the kit comes with Charger, compatible with QC 3.0. By the way, it was Redmi Note 7 that took 1st place.
5th place - Apple iPhone X
The number of sales for the last 2 months is 4907 units. FROM the release of the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR the usual "ten" has fallen in price and is now available for an average of 62-64 thousand rubles.
The smartphone is made in a glass case with IP67 water protection, equipped with a 5.8-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1125 × 2436 with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10, 120 Hz refresh rate. It is worth noting that there is a risk of pixel burn-in on the iPhone X matrix. Here is the proof:
In terms of cameras, the phone is good - it produces cool shots. Also here is a powerful Apple A11 Bionic processor, which will pull everything and has a solid margin for the future. Wireless and fast charging is supported, there is a 4K video shooting function and Face ID technology.
Subjective opinion: there is no point in buying this model now, since the price of 60+ thousand rubles is clearly too high. For the same money, there are better phones, so you should not take the iPhone X in the middle of 2019.
6-10 places
Also, according to "Yandex.Market" Chinese "middle peasants" sold well:

Every fifth smartphone in MTS retail in Q2 2017 was sold on credit, follows from the materials of the operator. Moreover, the average cost of credit smartphones is growing: over the year it increased by 22% and reached 18,500 rubles. - and the average check for a smartphone in MTS is 10,500 rubles.
Now MTS sells on credit 60% of smartphones more expensive than 40,000 rubles. - a year earlier, the share of credit machines in this category was 32%, according to the representative of the company Dmitry Solodovnikov. MTS does not disclose the absolute sales of smartphones in its retail and their dynamics. According to Solodovnikov, Samsung, Apple and Huawei are most actively bought on credit at MTS: in the second quarter of 2017, 31, 44 and 17% of the devices of these brands were sold on credit in the operator's retail. A year earlier, 23% was sold on credit Samsung smartphones, 11% - Apple, 9% - Huawei.
In the second quarter of 2017, credit sales of smartphones grew in Svyaznoy both in units and in percentage terms - in particular, sales of smartphones more expensive than 40,000 rubles. increased year-on-year by 2.5 times, says the representative of the retailer Sergei Tikhonov.
According to MTS, in the second quarter of 2017, a total of 6.2 million smartphones were sold in Russia, which is 12% more than a year earlier. In money terms, the market grew by 16% - turnover of 80 billion rubles. In July 2017, a little over 3 million smartphones were sold in Russia, follows from the material of a partner of several electronics manufacturers. The first place in total sales in pieces was occupied by Samsung (25.3% of the market), the second - by Apple (13%), the third - by Huawei (10.4%).
A similar picture is observed in all Russian retail, says Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group. According to him, in mid-2017, about 40% of smartphones were bought on credit; a year earlier, their share was about 26%. About 70% of devices more expensive than 30,000 rubles are sold on credit. – a year earlier, their share was twice as low.
According to Maria Shalina, director of telecommunications and financial services at Euroset, 35-40% of Russians buy smartphones on credit. The average price of smartphones sold on credit at Euroset increased by 18% in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year, she reports.
The growth of purchases on credit stimulates the availability and variety of installment and credit programs, continues Murtazin. In a crisis, people prefer not to spend all the money at once, but to give equal shares every month, he believes.
The installment plan for two years without additional encumbrances in the form of purchasing insurance and additional services, launched in Eldorado in mid-June, increased smartphone sales by more than 50% in monetary terms, says its representative Yulia Zavyalova.
Among the reasons for the popularity of credit products when purchasing a smartphone, one can single out the desire of buyers to distribute costs over a long period, the increase in the number of partners providing installment plans in stores, an increase in the supply of credit products, as well as the popularity of loans for long periods and installments, lists Tikhonov.
It also affects the fact that people began to buy smartphones with a long service life, and these are again relatively expensive devices, adds Murtazin. This leads to the fact that the cycle of replacing old smartphones with new ones in Russia is lengthening. If in 2015 it was 13 months, then in 2016 it is already 18 months, and in 2017 it may reach 20 months, he predicts.
Last year, the combined share of small Android smartphone manufacturers, including Irbis, Motorola, Philips, LG, fell from 24% to 9%, IDC found. This was due to the consolidation of the smartphone market by major brands, including Chinese Xiaomi, Huawei and Honor, analysts say and market participants confirm.
In 2018, more than 30 million smartphones worth $7.56 billion were delivered to Russia, follows from the IDC report. The first place in shipments was retained by Samsung with a share of 26%, the second place was taken by Huawei together with its Honor brand, whose share in the aggregate amounted to 21%. In third place is Apple with a share of 16%, and in fourth place is Xiaomi (14%), according to the report.
Together, Huawei and Honor overtake Samsung in smartphone shipments to Russia for the second quarter in a row, but Huawei's growth comes from smaller brands, not Samsung, which continues to hold a quarter of the smartphone market, IDC notes. The Russian smartphone market is rapidly consolidating - most of the Android smartphone market belongs to Samsung, Huawei / Honor and Xiaomi, whose share is 61%, IDC indicates. “Small players are having a hard time and some well-known brands are in danger of exiting the market,” said Director of Market Research Programs mobile phones at IDC EMEA Simon Baker.
At the end of 2018, the share of smartphone brands in the “other” category in IDC reporting was 9%, while at the end of 2017 it was 24%. This category includes brands whose share in 2018 was below 2%, including Irbis, Motorola, Philips, LG, Micromax, Nubia, Sony, Vertex, Oppo, Vivo, Meizu, ZTE, Doogee, said the analyst in IDC Russia" Olga Babinina.
All last year the market consolidated towards Samsung, Honor, Huawei and Apple, VimpelCom confirms. This trend is inherent not only in the Russian, but also in the world market, this is a “natural process,” MTS notes. MegaFon says that customers are buying less budget models up to 5 thousand rubles, and smartphones in the range from 10 thousand to 20 thousand rubles are more popular, and Samsung and Huawei / Honor are the leaders in this segment.
“A year ago, there were two major players on the market - Samsung and Apple and about ten brands that competed with each other, but by the end of 2018, three major Chinese brands at once - Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi - confidently entered the top five key players in the smartphone market,” - says Nikita Tikhvinsky, director of the Digital Technology direction of the M.Video-Eldorado group. In his opinion, the growth of the market was determined by the brands Huawei, Honor, Xiaomi, Vivo and Nokia, the demand for which grew in money and pieces by one and a half times or more.
Sales of little-known brands are noticeably reduced due to the fact that they are often small companies that do not have the opportunities for wide marketing promotion, which market leaders have, who, moreover, have smartphones as only a part of their business, explains the director of the Mobile Communications Department " Marvel Distribution Pavel Vyukov. However, according to him, the share of brands in the "other" category in the Russian market ranges from 9% to 11%.
IDC's estimates may not include brands that were below a certain level of shipments for the year, but collectively they may account for a larger share, says Eldar Murtazin, lead analyst at Mobile Research Group. So, according to his estimates, the combined share of Sony, Inoi, Vertex, Oppo, Vivo, ZTE, Doogee and Meizu, may exceed 12%. “The market volume has increased since 2017, and, according to IDC, Apple’s share in shipments, for example, remained unchanged, respectively, the company’s sales should have grown, but they fell in pieces in 2018,” the expert argues. According to him, the corporation's share amounted to no more than 14% at the end of the year. Some retailers are required to purchase a certain amount of devices, but they can be sold much less, says Sergey Polovnikov, head of Content-Review.
This ranking presents the best-selling smartphones in Russia over the past two months (from mid-September to mid-November 2019). The top 15 is compiled according to Yandex-Market (the largest commodity aggregator in Russia), it includes models of the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi (this brand has the largest representation in the ranking - 9 models), Korean Samsung, American Apple and Chinese Honor.
