9. Sony Xperia Z3
Sales Percentage: 1.3%
Sony with its latest Xperia Z3 has found a place in the US market. Although, Sony wasn’t particularly famous for its smartphones in the country, since the arrival of Xperia Z3 a lot has changed for the company. The phone comes with the 5.0.2 Android Operating System and a 3,100mAh battery. The feature that stands out the most is the 20.7 megapixels camera that is hardly offered by any other smartphone in the market.
8. iPhone 6 Plus
Sales Percentage: 1.7%
Although iPhone is currently the second best selling smartphone in the US, 6 Plus couldn’t particularly make an impact on the market. Despite the initial hype about the bigger size, the phone wasn’t able to generate a lot of sales for Apple. It is believed that the lower sales were a result of the hardware defect controversy (the bending problem). However, it is still the 8th best selling smartphone phone in the US. IPhone 6 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch screen and 8MP rear camera.
7. Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Sales Percentage: 1.8
With a screen measuring up to 5.7 Inches, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is certainly among the biggest phones in the US and worldwide. One of the standout features of the Note 4 is its 16MP rear camera with storage up to 32GB. Besides that the phone offers a 1440p resolution and stands at number seven in this list of 10 best selling smartphones in the US 2015 rankings.
6. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Sales Percentage: 2.4%
When it comes to innovation in smartphones, Sony has always been a leader. The Xperia Z3 Compact may be smaller than the Xperia Z3 in size, but it is loaded with the same amount of features. With a 4.7-inch screen and 720p resolution. Z3 compact too offers a 20.7 rear and a 2.2MP front camera. However, the Operating System available with this model is Android 5.
5. HTC One M9
Sales Percentage: 3%
HTC has always been famous for its high-end hardware, which is perhaps one of the main features that have kept its sales alive in the past despite the problem of shorter battery time. However, HTC with its latest One M9 has made sure that all those problems were taken care of. Not only does the latest One M9 provide quality hardware, but it also offers long-lasting battery, as well as a 20.7MP camera. Without a doubt, it is one of the most elegant phones in the market, which is perhaps the reason it stands at number five amongst the best selling smartphones in the United States.
4. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
Sales Percentage: 5%
After a disappointing response from S5, Samsung went all guns blazing with their latest Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Adding curved edges to take it ahead of all the competitors in the market. But it’s not just the curved edges that stand out, it offers a bunch of other features too. The front cam is up to 5MP with the rear camera up to 16 MP. Also, the phone has perhaps the most vibrant display thanks to 1440p resolution.
3. LG G4
Sales Percentage: 15%
LG just like Sony didn’t have a very strong impact in the US market, however since the arrival of G2 things took a drastic turn for the company. The latest G4 is the continuation of the same version after G3, both of which sold extremely well. G4 is no exception offering a long list of high-end specs such as 16MP rear and 8MP front camera, 2560 x 1440 resolution, Android 5.1 and a lot more.
2. iPhone 6
Sales Percentage: 30%
Unlike iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6 has sold extremely well in the U.S market. IPhone has always been a top selling brand in the country and this year it’s no different. It is bigger, better, faster and obviously a lot sleeker. Furthermore, it finally offers a 4.7-inch screen, not as big as 6 Plus but still bigger than iPhone 5S putting Apple in the big phones club.
1. Samsung Galaxy S6
Sales Percentage: 40%
The biggest surprise of the year 2015 is that Samsung has left behind iPhone in sales in the US, and no it is not the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that has taken the company ahead; it’s the Galaxy S6. With Android 5.0.2, 1440p resolution 5MP front and 16 MP rear camera, the S6 stands on top amongs the 10 best selling smartphones in the US 2015 rankings.
