Top 10 trending phones of week 9

After a week-long hiatus where yours truly was busy cruising around Barcelona and covering the latest announcements at MWC 2023, our trend leaderboard is back. And the reign of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is interrupted by the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which has taken advantage of its global debut and reached the top.

Samsung’s flagship is still in second place, so we could see a reversal next week. In the next two places we have the vanilla counterparts of the first 2: Xiaomi 13 is third, while the Galaxy S23 is fourth.

Galaxy A53 comes in fifth, while the 13 Lite is six, continuing the Samsung-Xiaomi pattern. This is finally broken by the Poco X5 Pro in seventh place and the only Apple smartphone in the rankings: the iPhone 14 Pro Max in eighth.

The newly announced Vivo V27 Pro and Honor Magic5 Pro took the last two positions and concluded a completely revised ranking.

We’ll see how things play out once the MWC hype subsides and we return to normal service. Join us next week to find out!
