Apple Continues to Lead as Global Smartwatch Market Grows 13 Percent YoY in Q1 2022: Report

Apple retained its top spot buoyed by the late launch of Apple Watch 7 as the global smartwatch shipments recorded a 13 percent growth on year-over-year (YoY) basis in Q1 2022 despite concerns over economic slowdown and inflation, as per a report. Samsung solidified its second position with the popularity of Galaxy Watch 4 series. Huawei, Xiaomi, and Garmin completed the top 5 list with Xiaomi performing well with its record-highest quarterly shipments registering a 69 percent YoY growth in the quarter.

As per the Global Smartwatch Model Tracker by Counterpoint Research, Apple maintained a solid lead and registered a 14 percent YoY increase in Q1 2022. Due to delayed launch of Apple Watch 7, some shipments carried over to Q1 2022 helping the iPhone-maker to retain its top spot globally with 36.1 percent market share.

“Although the global smartwatch market saw little growth in 2020 due to the impact of Covid-19, it has continued to perform well since its rebound last year. In particular, Apple accounted for more than a third of the total shipments last year, and it is further increasing its influence with a market share of 36 percent in the first quarter of this year,” said Associate Director Sujeong Lim.

The second place went to Samsung, which registered a 46 percent YoY increase in shipments due to its growth in the APAC region steered by the popularity of Galaxy Watch 4 series. The South Korean giant grabbed 10.1 percent of the global market share. In third place Huawei’s growth remained flat YoY (7.2 percent share) in terms of shipments due to its weak position in the international market.

Another Chinese brand, Xiaomi, registered the maximum (69 percent) YoY growth with its increased penetration in the international markets. The report says that Xiaomi’s sales rode on the sales of low-end segment wearables (under $100, or roughly Rs. 7,800), and grabbed 5 percent market share.

The Counterpoint report also says that Garmin (4.3 percent share) ranked fifth in terms of shipments, but was third in terms of revenues due to its higher ASP. “It occupies the majority portion in the premium segment over $500 (roughly Rs. 38,850),” the report noted. It is followed by Amazfit (4 percent) which rode the success of the GTR 3 and GTS 3 series launched in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Another player is FitBit which saw its sales decrease. It merged with Google, and appears to be undergoing an internal reorganisation. There were no models released last year, and the transition to Wear OS was also delayed. It captured 2.7 percent of market share.

The Counterpoint report says that most major regions grew YoY, but Europe recorded a flat growth.. “We initially expected the war between Russia and Ukraine to have minimal impact on the market in Q1, but the prolongation of the conflict and the resulting logistical constraints have begun to affect the European region. The impact of the war will become more serious in Q2,” Lim added.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Specifications Surface in Detail, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC Tipped

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 specifications have been leaked online in detail. The new Samsung foldable phone is said to come with a few incremental upgrades over the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 would carry an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC — the chip that was launched earlier this month. It would also feature an improved rear camera setup as well as an upgraded under-display camera. Given the company’s historical records, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 may launch sometime in August–September.

Tipster Yogesh Brar on Twitter has leaked the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 specifications. Since the company has not yet officially confirmed the existence of the new foldable, it is safe to consider the reported details with a pinch of salt.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 specifications (expected)

According to the tipster, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will come with a 7.6-inch QXGA AMOLED display, with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is also said to have a 6.2-inch HD+ AMOLED cover display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display details of the new foldable phone are identical with those of the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is also said to have octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, along with 12GB and 16GB RAM options as well as 256GB and 512GB storage versions. Last year, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 came with the Snapdragon 888 SoC and had 12GB RAM as standard as well as 256GB and 512GB onboard storage options.

Similar to last year’s model, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is said to have a triple rear camera setup. The camera setup this time will have a distinct primary sensor and according to the tipster, it will have a 50-megapixel resolution. This is different from the 12-megapixel primary camera available on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. A previous report, though, suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 would come with a 108-megapixel primary camera.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is also said to have a 16-megapixel under-display camera on the foldable display. This is a significant upgrade over the 4-megapixel under-display camera available on the last-year model.

Samsung is tipped to offer a 10-megapixel selfie camera sensor on the cover display of the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This appears identical to Galaxy Z Fold 3’s 10-megapixel selfie camera.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is also said to run Android 12 out-of-the-box, with One UI on top.

Just like the last-year model, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is tipped to have a 4,400mAh battery with 25W fast charging support.

Samsung M13 5G Renders Leak Online, Tip Waterdrop-Style Notch Display

Samsung Galaxy M13 5G is reportedly inching towards its launch. In a new update, the renders of the yet to be announced Galaxy M-series phone have surfaced online, indicating the possible design. The purported renders show the handset in three different colour options with a waterdrop-style notch display at the front to house the selfie shooter. The leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy M13 5G suggest a triple rear camera setup on the back, along with an LED flash. The images show a design identical to the Samsung Galaxy M23 that was unveiled recently in select markets.

Known tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) has leaked the alleged renders of Samsung Galaxy M13 5G via Twitter. The renders show the handset in three different colours. They suggest a waterdrop-style notch display on the upcoming smartphone. Furthermore, the renders of the Samsung handset show a triple rear camera unit arranged in the upper left corner of the handset. The rectangular camera module also houses an LED flash. The power button and the volume rockers are seen on the left spine of the smartphone. As mentioned earlier, the renders tip a similar design to the Samsung Galaxy M23.

Specifications of Galaxy M13 5G had leaked multiple times in the past. The smartphone was recently spotted on the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) certification database with the model number SM-M135M.

Previous leaks suggest that Galaxy M13 5G could run on Android 11 with Samsung’s One UI skin out of the box. It is tipped to come with a 6.5-inch full-HD+ touchscreen display. The smartphone may pack 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging. It is expected to include 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

However, Samsung is yet to confirm any details about the Galaxy M13 5G smartphone, which means that the reported details should be taken with a pinch of salt.

iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro Max Top Most Sold Smartphones List for Q1 2022: IDC

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max reportedly took the top two spots on the most sold smartphones list for the first quarter of 2022. This information comes from IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo who shared a top-five list of the best-selling smartphones in Q1 2022. Another Apple handset found its way into this list at the fourth position. The remaining two spots at third and fifth were secured by handsets from Samsung. However, the information shared by Jeronimo does not include the actual number of units sold for these smartphones.

Jeronimo posted this information on Twitter which says that the smartphone market was dominated by Apple in Q1 2022 with the iPhone 13 sitting in the top spot. It is followed by the iPhone 13 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch display in second. Meanwhile, the iPhone 13 Pro with a 6.1-inch screen was able to secure the fourth place which might suggest that Apple customers were willing to pay extra for a slightly larger display.

The tweet also mentions that the iPhone 13 sales were around $42 billion (roughly Rs. 3,26,224 crore) for this quarter. This figure reportedly accounted for up to 84 percent of the iPhone sales in this period. Apple has kept its momentum going after recording its most profitable holiday season (October to December) last year, despite facing supply shortages. During this period, the Cupertino company reported iPhone sales of $71.63 billion (roughly Rs. 5,56,393 crore).

On the other hand, Samsung also made its way onto this list with the Galaxy A12 and Galaxy A32 low-end smartphones that came 3rd and 5th, respectively. The combined sales of these smartphones for Q1 2022 supposedly generated $3.6 billion (roughly Rs. 27,963 crore) for the South Korean tech giant.

This week on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast, we discuss iPhone 13, new iPad and iPad mini, and Apple Watch Series 7 — and what they mean to the Indian market. Orbital is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.

North American Smartphone Shipments Grew 4 Percent in Q1 2022, Apple Led The Market: Canalys

The North American smartphone market has witnessed a small 4 percent increase in shipments in the first quarter of 2022, as per a report by market research firm Canalys. Apple became the primary driver in this case, which grew 19 percent to achieve a 51 percent market share in Q1 2022, while Samsung secured the second spot. Motorola took third place in this stream, whereas TCL and Google managed to get into the top fourth and fifth positions, respectively during the quarter.

A report from Canalys says that the North American smartphone shipments reached 39 million units in the first quarter of 2022, marking a 3.7 percent year-on-year (YoY) growth.

Apple was the largest contributor to smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2022 with 19.9 million shipments that helped it achieve a market share of 51 percent, the report states. Samsung shipped 10.5 million units taking the second spot with a market share of 27 percent. The South Korean brand saw a year-on-year growth of just 1 percent.

Motorola took the third spot in terms of smartphone shipments in North America. The company shipped 4 million products and recorded a 56 percent annual growth with a 10 percent market share.

On the other hand, TCL and Google captured the fourth and fifth spots in the North American smartphone shipments market with 4 percent and 3 percent market share, respectively in Q1 2022.

“High inflation places an enormous amount of pressure on carriers in North America as rate increases will be necessary,” said Brian Lynch, Canalys Analyst. “Heavy discounting and high trade-in values are being used to lure in and retain customers for the region’s biggest telcos, easing pressure on the high-end smartphone market. Supply will remain a key bottleneck for the top vendors in the upcoming quarter, but North America will continue to be a priority and is likely to maintain healthy supply levels. The North American market is well placed to avoid any significant volatility in shipments despite the uncertain outlook of its economy,” Lynch further added.

The iPhone 13’s high performance is being considered as the powering background for the Apple’s strong shipment growth in the North American smartphone segment in Q1 2022, according to the report.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Camera Specifications Leak, Said to Feature a 50-Megapixel Primary Camera

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has been in the news for some time, and its launch is expected to happen alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 4 in August 2022. A new report suggests that the latest foldable flagship from the South Korean giant will feature a well-balanced camera setup. According to the report, the handset will be packed with a triple camera setup on the rear. The primary camera of the phone is also said to be somewhat similar to those found on the Samsung Galaxy S22 series.

According to a tweet by tipster Ice Universe, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom lens. The rumoured handset is also said to have a higher resolution sensor as compared to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. At the same time, the tipster also claimed through another tweet that the telephoto camera on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 with a 3x optical zoom lens is its “strongest” ever, better than the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which has 10x optical zoom with its periscope telephoto lens paired with a 10-megapixel sensor, and 3x optical zoom with its telephoto lens that’s also paired with a 10-megapixel sensor.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 specifications(rumoured)

Another report recently suggested that this new foldable smartphone could come with an S Pen stylus that is said to be under mass production in several regions of Europe and Asia. However, a recent leak, on the other hand, suggests the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 might still miss out on a built-in S Pen slot.

India Smartphone Shipments Decline for Third Quarter in a Row, Xiaomi Retains Leadership: IDC

India smartphone shipments declined for the third consecutive quarter, with a drop of five percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022, according to a report. While Xiaomi maintained its leadership in the market, all top-five vendors except Realme saw a decline in their shipments in the quarter. Key reasons for the dip are believed to be the impact of the third wave of COVID-19, supply constraints especially for the low-end price segments, and rising inflation that is increasing the cost of ownership of phones across price segments.

Smartphone shipments in the country dropped to 37 million units in the first quarter, according to the latest report by market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC).

Xiaomi continued to lead the market, though its share and shipments both dropped in the quarter over the same quarter last year. Per IDC, the company’s shipments declined by 18 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022. However, Xiaomi continued to dominate the online channel, with a 32 percent share (including Poco).

In the 5G segment, IDC reports that Xiaomi came second. The Mi 11i and Redmi Note 11T were some of the key volume drivers for the Chinese company.

After Xiaomi, Samsung continued to be in second position, but with a decline of five percent year-on-year in the first quarter. The South Korean giant managed to grow demand for its Galaxy S22 series. It also led the 5G segment, with a 29 percent share. Key models in the segment were the Galaxy M32 5G and Galaxy A22 5G, according to IDC.

Realme — one of the youngest brands by Guangzhou-based BBK Electronics — became the third-largest vendor in the market. It marked a growth of 46 percent year-on-year. The company also had the lowest average selling price of $142 (roughly Rs. 11,000).

Additionally, Realme retained its second position in the online space after Xiaomi, with a share of 23 percent in the first quarter, IDC said.

Unlike all the other leading players in the market, Realme managed to mark a 46.3 percent year-on-year growth in the first quarter, the report shows.

Vivo, Realme’s sibling and another brand by BBK Electronics, was at the fourth spot, with its shipments declined 17 percent year-on-year. The Chinese company led the offline channel with 24 percent share in the first quarter, though with the launch of its new T-series and iQoo phones, it is likely to see some growth in its online shipments as well.

Oppo — the biggest subsidiary of BBK Electronics and once the parent of Realme — fell 25 percent in the first quarter, per IDC’s report.

Smartphone shipments of top-five players in the market as per IDC

Company 1Q22 Market Share 1Q21 Shipment Volumes 1Q21 Shipment Volumes 1Q21 Market Share Year-on-Year Unit Change (1Q22 over 1Q21)
Xiaomi 8.5 million 23.3 percent 10.4 million 27.2 percent -18.2 percent
Samsung 7.0 million 19.0 percent 7.3 million 19.0 percent -4.7 percent
Realme 6.0 million 16.4 percent 4.1 million 10.7 percent 46.3 percent
Vivo 5.5 million 15.0 percent 6.6 million 17.3 percent -17.0 percent
Oppo 3.5 million 9.6 percent 4.6 million 12.2 percent -24.9 percent
Others 6.1 million 16.7 percent 5.2 million 13.6 percent 16.8 percent
Total 37 million 100 percent 38 million 100 percent -4.8 percent

 

Apart from the vendor-wise shipments, IDC mentioned some other interesting insights in its report. It said that the pandemic-induced surge in e-commerce shares over the past two years subsided with a marginal decline to 49 percent in the first quarter. Nevertheless, shipments through online channels continue to grow at a rate of seven percent year-on-year, whereas offline channel shipments declined by 13 percent year-on-year.

Average selling prices of smartphones in the country also continued to rise for the fourth consecutive quarter to as high as $211 (roughly Rs. 16,300). While MediaTek-powered models had a share of 51 percent at an average selling price of $174 (roughly Rs. 13,500), Qualcomm increased its share to 28 percent with an average selling price of $244 (roughly Rs. 18,900), according to IDC.

The firm also reported that the mid-range premium smartphone segment — between $300–$500 (roughly Rs. 23,200–38,700) marked the highest year-on-year growth of 75 percent, while the premium segment grew 33 percent year-on-year, with a share of five percent in the market. The latter was dominated by Apple that had 60 percent of total shipments in the segment. The sub-$200 (roughly Rs. 15,500), on the other hand, dropped by 16 percent, while the mid-range segment of $200–$300 grew to 18 percent from 14 percent in the first quarter.

Upasana Joshi, Researcher Manager for Client Devices at IDC India, said that 5G accounted for 31 percent of shipments with an average selling price of $375 (roughly Rs. 29,000) in the last quarter.

“IDC estimates that shipments beyond $300 will be fully 5G by the end of 2022,” the researcher said.

On the part of future performance, Navkendar Singh, Research Director for Client Devices and Imaging, Printing and Document Solutions (IPDS) at IDC India, said that the outlook for 2022 remained cautious from the consumer demand side.

“Due to rising inflation and lengthening of the smartphone refresh cycle, IDC expects 2Q22 also to remain muted, while smartphone supplies gradually return to normal, resulting in a slower 1H22 compared to 72 million shipments in 1H21,” he said.

Last month, a report by Counterpoint showed that smartphone shipments in India saw a one percent year-on-year decline in the quarter ending March. Strategy Analytics in its report published late last month also showed a three percent year-on-year decline in the smartphone shipments in the country.

In addition to the India market, shipment shipments globally also dipped in the last quarter for the third time in a row, according to recent reports by Strategy Analytics and Counterpoint.
