11 Most Popular Smartphones in Australia

We continue to investigate smartphone trends in the world for you, and here is a new list: 11 Most Popular Smartphones in Australia. We’ve explored what smartphones Australian people love and buy.

Look at the 11 most popular smartphones in the world and compare it with this list, and you’ll find differences. Aussies follow the world trends, but favor some other smartphones that are not that much popular in the world. Let’s see which smartphones are most popular in Australia.

11. Nexus 6

Google and Motorola did a fine job with their latest flagship. 6 inches diagonal display on new Nexus is impressive, and QHD resolution provides remarkable view angles and sharpness. Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor with Adreno 420 GPU, 3GB of RAM and 32 or 64GB of internal storage show strength and class. The heftier price tag of $600+ puts Nexus 6 in the expensive price bracket, which draw Aussies with pockets deep enough.

10. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

The innovative design of Samsung’s newest flagship device is doing great in the worldwide smartphone market; people tend to choose Edge more often over competing models in the market. This trend is slowly coming to Australia, earning #10 on our list. Even though, since it is a new Samsung flagship, it can’t go unnoticed. Specifications-based, S6 Edge brings 5,1 inches display, the octa-core processor, and 3GB of ram, and you can have it for $30 for a monthly plan plus $34 for a phone.

9. iPhone 6 Plus

It seems that people in Australia follow the trend of the “bigger is better”, considering screen size. Apple finally went bigger, and they did it with boom: iPhone 6 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen, with full HD resolution, great 8MP camera and newest instalment of iOS. Aussies love it almost the same as its smaller version.

8. LG Flex 2

Flex series of smartphones from LG are innovative, and extraordinary is the first word that comes to mind when one sees this curved phone. Its predecessor didn’t have success worldwide as much as in Asia and Australia. New and improved model keeps rising here because Aussies love the ergonomic build, and a stunning screen that is much more comfortable for usage despite its 5.5-inch display. Top-notch specs and ultra HD camera with laser focusing bring this model closer to many people. Worth mentioning is curved back that heals itself when it’s scratched. Prices start from $30 for a monthly plan plus $5 more for a phone.

7. Samsung Galaxy Note 4

Samsung’s premium phablet line of smartphones brought sophistication and style to the world. They are pioneers in this market segment, leading and setting the standards.

Deals start from $55 for a monthly plan plus $15 for a phone.

6. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

Even though its bigger version is very popular in the Aussie market, Z3 Compact solves the main problem of the prior; this size is much more appealing to the people who can’t get used to bigger screen phones.  Deals start from $30 for a monthly plan plus $5 for a phone.

5. HTC One M9

HTC continues to improve with a new model, the metal M9.
