It was clear that the coronavirus pandemic would negatively affect the economy and the sale of mobile devices. The only question was how much. If we look at Samsung, we know that in India, for example, sales fell by a hard-to-believable 60% year-on-year in the second quarter. But if we focus on Samsung's sales in the United States, it wasn't that bad.

According to the figures of the analytical company Counterpoint Research saw the South Korean giant's smartphone sales drop by 10% in that territory, which wasn't bad at all compared to other companies. Looking at the other "big fish", Samsung is closely followed by Alcatel, whose sales in the territory fell by 11% year-on-year. He is then in third place Apple, which saw a 23% year-on-year decline in iPhone sales in its home country. It recorded a significant year-on-year drop LG, by 35%. With a big bounce here we have OnePlus, Motorola and ZTE, which have worsened by 60, 62 and 68% respectively. If we take a closer look at Samsung, sales of its flagship in the form of the S20 fell by 38% this quarter (if we compare the sales of the S10 during this period last year). Since the pandemic is not over, most manufacturers are limiting the supply of components for their flagships, which also applies to Samsung and its the Note 20 series. The same goes for Apple, which also does not expect general sales of its iPhone 12. However, for a change, Sony is increasing production of its Playstation 5. Are you planning to buy a flagship before the end of the year?
