While Apple easily dominated the US smartphone market in Q4 2021, it's hard not to focus on OnePlus and Motorola's latest achievements, as well as Google's latest (semi) failure.
In second place, Samsung enjoyed year-over-year growth of 11 percent, which probably would have been a more impressive result if it wasn't for OnePlus and Motorola's much greater progress. Of course, that's not an entirely fair comparison given that the regional silver medalist was still capable of easily fending off its smaller rivals, accounting for a solid 24 percent of US sales in Q4.
In fifth place, OnePlus somehow managed to boost its quarterly sales numbers by an outstanding 524 percent from Q4 2020, which still barely got the brand to 2 percent market share. That absolutely ginormous year-over-year progress was primarily owed to the mid-range Nord family, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the mainstream popularity of the Chinese company's high-end products stateside.
After all, the only reason why overall sales in the region were"flat" instead of declining amid supply constraints, delayed launches, and COVID-related in-store restrictions was that carriers kept their holiday promotions as"strong" as ever.
