Can Samsung Challenge Apple’s Smartwatch Dominance?
When Samsung unveiled the new Galaxy Note 9 smartphone at its “Unpacked” event on Thursday, the Korean electronics giant had one more thing (quite literally) up its sleeve: a new smartwatch. The Galaxy Watch, Samsung’s first wearable device in the Galaxy family, comes in two sizes (42 and 46 mm) and, in line with the company’s previous smartwatches, it will feature a round design closer to a traditional (albeit huge) wrist watch than the rectangular Apple Watch. Like the latter, the Galaxy Watch will come with a bunch of health features as well as water resistance and an LTE option. Its standout feature could be the battery life though, which Samsung claims to be “several days” on a single charge.
As the following chart, based on IDC estimates, shows, Samsung has a lot of ground to make up if it wants to challenge Apple’s dominant position in the smartwatch market. In 2017, the Cupertino-based company shipped 17.7 million watches compared to Samsung’s 3.6 million.

Despite several reports suggesting “lackluster demand” for the iPhone X, Apple’s most expensive smartphone model to date is proving to be very popular. According to latest estimates from IHS Markit, Apple shipped 12.7 million units of its flagship phone in the first three months of 2018, making the iPhone X the most popular phone in the world.
While the number of shipped units is considerably lower than what Apple achieved with the iPhone 7 Plus a year earlier (18.3 million), it is still remarkable that the ultra high-end (and expensive) iPhone X beat every other model on the market. Samsung’s most popular model was the Galaxy Grand Prime Plus, an entry-level model that costs less than $150.
As our chart illustrates, Apple and Samsung dominate the top 10 list for the first quarter of 2018. IHS cites the delay of new model releases as a likely reason for the lack of phones from Chinese manufacturers on the list.
