A recent study by Canalys has unveiled the top-selling high-end smartphones of 2023, and the results are not surprising.

Canalys has recently released a graph showcasing the global growth of high-end smartphone purchases since 2019 until the present. The data reveals that high-end smartphones priced over $500 occupy a substantial portion of the market, accounting for 31%. On the other hand, affordable devices ranging from $100 to $199 fall behind. This indicates that users worldwide prefer to either opt for flagship smartphones or more budget-friendly options, rather than going for mid-range devices.
