At the same time, Samsung also showed the largest decline in sales among the leading brands in the European market – a negative 31%. The second place was taken by the American company Apple, which showed an impressive increase in sales of 42% and took 21% of the market.

The brand’s products account for 17% of the market.
Xiaomi showed such an impressive result mainly due to ousting from the market another representative of China – Huawei.

Meanwhile, the Russian prices of the new flagships of Samsung – Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra were announced.
