10 Most Sold Cell Phones In America in 2015

What are the 10 most sold cell phones in America in 2015? These ten highly popular handsets are manufactured by the exact opposite of the 5 most hated cell phone companies in the world and ranked by a research company named Counterpoint Research who went out of their way to bring us the valuable knowledge of the current dynamics in the mobile phone market.

Smartphones are a complete and utter plague that has swept across the whole world and the US does not make an exclusion to that. In fact, the US is one of the biggest consumer of these devices and also one of the moving forces behind their development. While almost everything you can see around you is assembled or built in an unimaginably huge Chinese factory or another sort of plant in another overpopulated Asian country, the design and software behind the two biggest rivals on the market – Google’s Android and Nexus devices and Apple’s iOS and iPhones were brewed up and developed right in the heart of the USA. Aside from that, the first smartphone to ever see the light of day is considered to be IBM’s “Simon” – another creation of the United States. Although today we would laugh at the processing power and size of this device, it’s worth noting that it was manufactured in 1993. Even back then, the phone had a resistive touch screen and an access to and means to manage e-mails, which back then were also not too advanced. You can, however, think about the amount you’d have to pay in data charges at the end of the month.

A long time has passed since 1993 and while back then only a chosen few could afford to own, let alone actively use the one and only available smartphone, nowadays we can say that they have become as common as their predecessors. The demand for mobile phones, especially such with more processing power and newer capabilities has greatly increased over the past five years and the companies behind the endless supply of newer, more powerful devices are looking for new ways to attract customers which can only leave one thinking what kind of otherworldly contraption could be coming right around the corner. Let’s take a look at some contraptions which are, in their own turn, quite “hot” on the market – the 10 most sold cell phones in America in 2015 (so far) as ranked in a market survey by Counterpoint Research which is based on sell through (channel sales) surveyed at major mass retailers, distributors across different markets (across 39 countries around the world). Furthermore, Counterpoint Research cite their survey as “sanity checked with demand side surveys & expert Analyst estimates “.

10. Microsoft Lumia 435

First off on the list is the ghost of a soon to be forgotten pioneer and overlord of the mobile phone market – Nokia. After Microsoft acquired Nokia’s smartphone producing subdivision, they have been coming up with some moderately successful devices like this one.

9. Xiaomi Redmi Note

Xiaomi, just like many other purely Chinese electronics companies, is trying to attract customers with their low price tags on devices that would cost a lot more, were they of any other brand. Not without its disadvantages, the Redmi Note is a perfect example.

8. Samsung Galaxy S5

Samsung’s Galaxy S series have been extremely successful all around the world as a series of upper class devices and the S5 makes no exception, taking number eight on this list.

7. Apple iPhone 5S

The Apple iPhone 5S was replaced a bit too soon by the newer model for people to get over it so sales remain high even this year, after the announcement and launch of the iPhone 6

6. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

The Galaxy Note series, as a series of devices oriented for the productivity seeking person, have also enjoyed a wildly favorable acceptance from the users. The Galaxy Note 4 is particularly famous for its huge, almost 6 inch screen.

5. Xiaomi Redmi 2

Another one of Xiaomi’s creations, the Redmi also comes to deliver great performance at a price slightly less than the horribly overhyped and overpriced big brand name devices and it does it quite successfully.

4. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

The innovative S6 Edge takes the fourth spot among the 10 most sold cell phones in America in 2015 mainly due to the fact that people are not too keen on changing their whole experience, yet are curious enough.

3. Samsung Galaxy S6

The Galaxy S6, on the other hand, holds true to the expected shape, size and functionality of a smartphone of its class, only in a more powerful and sleeker variety.

2. Apple iPhone 6 Plus

There is no doubt that the iPhone 6 Plus would be in one of the first places since we are talking about the US, where people will soon start sacrificing their pets to get the newest model but the Plus version might be a bit too much for some.

1. Apple iPhone 6

On the other hand, the standard edition of the iPhone 6 wins first place in the 10 most sold cell phones in America in 2015 even after the whole bending controversy.
