That's what I would call a RUclipsr not trying to scam his community not knowing those functions to do
@@dummyfarm I remember it was something for live stream and here I see this morning RUclips says "Go for it!"
a simple example of how no one can stay on top for ever ..
R.I.P NOKIA
More like they did not foresee how popular Android is, they ignored the threat until it was very late into the game, tried Windows OS earlier but not everyone buy it.
Samsung stayed the whole way
They were very slow to adopt touchscreen devices, And that was their downfall.
Microsoft: Hello NOKIA, here's a gift from us {Balmer, the Trojan Horse}
They went down since they switched to Windows Mobile OS
Born in the mid-2000s, I remember my mum having a Motorola flip-phone and me always wanting to play games on it😂
I played Mahjong on my XpressMusic 5300 in the past before its keypads failed
@@arrowghost that’s cool, mine was like some sort of construction game where you had to pile these parts of a building on top of each other using a crane. Miss the gold-old days!
I miss "Hang Man" on my old flip phone. And "Daily Blackjack." 😎✌🏼
Motorola is still my favorite
Nokia was extremely innovative in terms of mobile phones they kept releasing. Some models looked like they were prototypes and yet you could still purchase one. Some of them were just so aesthetically pleasing. Then smartphones appeared and suddenly no one had to figure out where to put keyboard anymore. Eh, good times~
True
Good times, but only fall from grace because they don't see Android as a big threat, tried out Windows OS but failed to compete, went to Android anyway but too late into the game. So Samsung prevails.
@@arrowghost I agree completely, they were far too confident in their position at that time plus underestimated Android. And Samsung has a lot of market share, but I wouldn't call Android phones good (any Android phones bo the fair - not for these prices). There's also a matter of dominance that this company holds in Korea, so... yeah.
@@arrowghost Nokia (Finlandia) nigdy nie miała Android. Utknął w systemie Symbian a Android rósł w siłę i Nokia pogrążyła się.
Chociaż telefony Nokia z Symbian naprawdę były innowacyjne jak na swoje lata.
Microsoft kupił Nokię i wprowadził swój system... popularności dużej już nie było.
Teraz marka Nokia należy do Chińczyków.
Nokia was my first mobile, I got it in 2001. No phone I've had since then has even come close to the sound quality of that Nokia phone. My next phone was a Motorola, not as good as the Nokia but acceptable. No phone I got after that had as good sound quality as that Motorola, which in turn was nowhere near as good as the Nokia. Now I'm sorry I ever owned them because I know sound quality will never return to what it was in 2001, and it spoiled me forever.
Nokia’s reign was astounding. Miss their Lumia products.
Too bad, Microsoft abandoned their mobile innovation.
Lumia and partnership with Microsoft was the main reason Nokia shat itself and nobody wants a Nokia today.
It's a shame they gave up on Symbian and subsequently chose windows mobile of all OSs. Had they chosen android at that point - I'd probably be typing this message on a Nokia right now, not a Samsung.
I Am Using Nokia 6 2018 Model
All because they denied Android
Lumia = worst phone ever.
It's insane how Samsung has been relevant in the phone space for over two decades
Insane? More like scary.
@@Ammut6 Good point, I agree, I'd say it's both insane and scary.
Government help
I love them as a brand I don't think their going anywhere anytime soon
@@jamesklusener My last samsung phone was an awful time, absurd amounts of bloatware, including multiple gigabytes of microsoft office apps , it was nuts. especially considering it only had 32 gigs to begin with, so quite a decent chunk of the storage just rendered unusable. Had to use a weird program through the command line on my computer to uninstall the crap, but a lot of it automatically came back.
I don't trust them one bit after that shitshow.
The only channel of that kind that uses actually great background music.
Would be cool to see it as a cumulative total of all the cellphones each company ever sold
Samsung was from beginning to end
Because legend never dies
And the legend remembered of mocking Apple, especially their Galaxy S2 ads.
@@arrowghosttrue because samsung has many kinds of phone from cheap to flagship, and Apple just has flagship and SE version to face with loads of brands, Apple still the best after all
I didn't even know Motorola was still around, so the fact that it's still on the list by the end surprised me more than anything.
Actually Motorola is on the rise recently.
They're actually one of the most affordable Android smartphones
It’s probably because Motorola lately favors the lower-end segment of the market. Apple and Samsung mostly favor the high-end market.
They re-released the Razor recently, right? Not sure that really took off, just like the other foldable smartphones.
In Brazil you have Samsung with 45% of the market, Motorola with 25%, Iphone with 12%, Xiaomi with 12%.
So sad to see how dominators like Nokia or Yahoo got destroyed only for the bad decision of one person in the company and said goodbye to the market.
Imagine Nokia entered the Android market like other brands instead of being forced to shift to Windows and later on Android when it's too late! Definitely recommended to read the story of Nokia.
Miss those days that I was a Sony Ericsson fan and had always a fight with my Nokia fan friends to prove which is better 😂
Huawei got destroyed by Trump
Nokia's fall looks so deliberate, it's almost unreal.
Must be american lobbying lol. Iphone, Android and Microsoft worked together
Huawei's fall shows how powerful Android really is in this market
Nah fam usa fuck them up
It shows how Google is powerful in the market
Huawei is still using an android based system, but with no Google services, no one is willing to buy their products
More like how a political decision can kill a foreign brand.
Maybe Honor will be Huawei's sucessor after that fall.
It was actually revealed their CEO has attachments to the CCP & PLA, then bans are everywhere the moment their 5G network gets blocked during the Trump Administration, it was a chain reaction.
This was a good one! Loving these new vids. Glad I stayed subscribed. These videos are really getting me through the holidays.
Happy holidays!
I strangely (or maybe not so strangely) find these videos so relaxing. I'm glad there are new ones, I was watching the same ones over and over. It definitely removed the element of surprise
I'm so glad!
Dude youre making these so quickly! I like it!
I try
Your updates continue to be FANTASTIC. Thanks so much. Plus, on this one - I have never even heard of a couple of those phone brands. See, a person can learn something every day.
Glad you like them!
I can't even imagine how effort you put on these videos... Bravo!
Thank you very much!
If it isn't just a database with key dates and values and a program handles all the rest, I'm concerned
Welcome back!!! I missed your videos
Huawei suffering from US trade policy
in 2:30 it's a sad moment when Nokia fade away after she was the queen of Cellphones. 🙁
2:15 Chinese brands: May i come in 😂
the epic music is already linked in my brain to your vids. please keep having it. thanks!
You got it!
Siemens was my first cell phone with a color screen, the C60 back in 2003. In 2010 I worked for a local Sony Ericsson institute, the partnership lasted until mid-2012, in 2013 you could only find Sony cell phones
Love these uploads, it's kind of hard to argue with the facts. --- Amazing amount of research, thanks. ---
Glad you like them!
Love this graphic. Bought my first cellphone in 1990 and saw it all live. Had many wonderful memories of my cellphones while watching your video. Thank you.
You’ve been on an absolute RAMPAGE, DIB, I love it.
Thank you for video it's very good
The first phone I've touched was a Nokia 1100, and then, my grandma gave me a Nokia 5000, glorious phone
Amazing as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice to see you're back
Hey, thanks!
Team Nokia 💪
Same hear:)
you are back finally
Hey, you're back!
Satisfying to watch thanks.
I kinda miss the pre-smartphone days.
Turning Red movie really portray that in the olden days
..He writes from his smartphone.
I began with Nokia in the olden days. Had a few. Now I’m on my 4th iPhone (4s, 6, 8, 12)
Mine was the XpressMusic 5300, resisted the smartphone era for very long before the keypads failed, as well as how expensive smartphones back then, so I got a Galaxy S2 as my first smartphone. Then the Note 4, and now A52s 5G
My 5s last for 10 years. I switched to android, due to the poor serviceability of iphones. They are programming everything so you cannot do anything by yourself on your own product, that you bought with your money. I can buy samsung parts and I can install them, but I miss the iphone. Ios is so clean, so fast.
THE LEGEND IS BACK
Amazing how once a brand starts to fall, it just plummets.
yeah cuz people quickly lose interest in a brand immediately once they start falling
so beautiful video
The way nokia fell from grace was just a nosedive into oblivion wow
3:20 Huawei: HELP ME
Honor: I gotchu mommy
I bought my first smartphone in 2019 (2:56), a Samsung S9+. Gorgeous display, headphone jack, microSD slot, fast WiFi, ok cameras, and GPS is just a life saver. Honestly I think this was the pinnacle of smartphones; the newer models have all gotten worse. No headphone jack, no microSD, a hole in the screen, worse repairability and even more preinstalled bloatware to kill the battery.
you're first phone was an S9+?! wow.. my first phone was a samsung galaxy grand prime 😓
Well, I'll present a different point of view as the person who went into the smartphone world with HTC Sensation and is now a Google Pixel 6A owner. Through the time the internal capacity got much bigger (first smartphones had so little internal memory that you had to move most apps to the SD card and still had low memory notification) and cloud storage got popular along with increased internet coverage and stability. Hole in the screen makes a phone physically smaller as you don't need an empty space above the screen anymore. As to the headphone jack, I have good pair of headphones at home, but nothing beats the convenience of TWS earphones. When outside I prefer using no cables. And the preinstalled bloatware is a thing of the past, old phones all had facebook and ton of other shit preinstalled, for the last few years the smartphones are much cleaner in terms of bloatware and UI in general.
My first phone was an Asus Zenfone 5Q (AKA 5 lite), it was decent for what it was but shat on me less than a year after I bought it. Eventually I exchanged it for a Galaxy S9 until this August, when I bought my current phone - a Sony Xperia 1 mk III.
i disagree, s10 was probably the best phone, I had a s8 before and battery sucked, s10 just looked so beautiful and modern when it released, there was nothing like it
Typing this on an S9+. Other than some minor issues, it's been serving me well after all this time
Been asking for a return AND HES RETURNED!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first phones as a kid before smartphones became standard were Siemens, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Loved the SE Vivaz Pro 😍
maybe would be a nice feature to have the average (per year in business) and/or total/cumulative amount for each of the individual brands somewhere at the side 🤔
OPPO + Vivo + RealMe = BBK Electronics === #1 - 311 millions!!
Nice one
Thanks 🔥 my first Super Thanker!! I appreciate it.
They are back!
This video is so nostalgic, reminds me of my old Nokia
I'm kinda surprised oneplus never hit top 10
The Nokia3310 will forever be the most iconic phone in my eyes, Snake 2 anyone?
I find it interesting to see brands such as Oppo, Vivo and Xiaomi come up on this list, all brands that are rarely heard of in the West, but are very popular in growing countries including China and India
There are people who live to the East. They greatly outnumber “the west”
Xiaomi is also very popular in western countries.
@@DeputyBurbank indeed. If you were to draw a circle around India, S Korea, and Indonesia, it would be about 10% of Earth's land area, but about 50% of the world's population.
@@FRN2013 correct and about 50% of the world's disease, rayp, poverty, misery.
It's because China + India alone is 2.5 billion people. They can have insane raw sales numbers while staying completely local.
I'm trying to find the source you gave, to use the data myself but cannot find it. Is there any link you could give me that has it?
I still have my old Motorola, anyone remember those old toshiba computers? Mine still works
Htc,Sony Ericsson, Nokia In 2012-2014 best phones in the world
Google Pixels are really starting to make a name in the industry with the Pixel 6 & and one of the best reviewed phones ever Pixel 7. I expect to see them in the top 5 in a few years.
Nice! First phone, kyocera in 2002. Then a bunch of nokias, an Lg one more nokia, another Lg, a motorola, a huawei, an htc and my last 3 all motorolas. Holy moly. Never getting an apple or samsung.
never heard of "Tecno" til today 🤷♀🤷♀
Cool Video, I miss my Huawei P30, now I am use iphone, it is so boring.
I remember when y dad bought one of those gray Motorola brick phones that you had to pull into a charging base. This was back in the 90s. Still remember pulling the antenna out before making a call.
Have you done one that’s cumulative? (Like the console one you recently did)
Actually never have done. Will check if it's entertaining enough.
Bros back
It would be great, If you would show a Screenshot from the start at the end. Like a comparison, "there we started, here are we now."
My condolences with NOKIA 😢
RIP Huwei. They died due to being banned from google by the US government.
Deservedly so for spying for the CCP.
Soon, Xiaomi outperform Samsung and Apple for the best quality and price
@@BelicTransporter sounds chinese it’s probably gonna get banned
This is so sad. Poor Nokia. :(
My first phone was a Samsung Juke. Goofy little thing, but I loved it.
My personal TOP 3 mobile history:
- SONY CMDJ6
- SHARP GX23
- BlackBerry Z10
Samsung deserves being on the top for being innovative and their constant quality in their display. I am currently using a zflip 3, very pleased.
One plus isn't on the list but it was the most durable phone I had and the best photo quality. Also Sony had some good smatphones after ericsson.
Oneplus is a subsidiary of Oppo, so it's technically on the list.
I almost forgot how cool Siemens used to be as well as Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and Motorola
@DataIsBeautifulOffical
i have a question. I do not understand this chart. In other videos (most used apps) the number means that more or less people use those apps. But here it means here too? The number of users of smartphone brand? It doesnt show how much phones brand sold, does it? Thanks for the explain. U have great videos!
I always put numbers definition in video description. Here it's a trailing annual sales.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial oh sorry, i did not read it. Thanks!!
People from different countries: Would you recommend Oppo or Honor products nowadays?, Im interested in Oppo Reno 7 or Honor X8.
(I have a Huawei y9 prime 2019, still with Google services, and i love it).
Please never disappear again for 2 years! :-D
philips,siemens,lg,blackberry my favourite
I remember working for the 121 call centre so was given a Nokia matrix phone to show others
Fun phone at the time
Vivo user here 💖
I am Sony fan using Xperia 1 IV. My husband is using HUAWEI now. Both smartphones are great👍
Good choice
I'm an Xperia 1 III user.
Motorola droid was my first smartphone back in 2009
Nokias were indestructible. Motorola was the O.G. Hope Samsung can keep it going.
Nokia 3410 was my first phone back in 2003, good memories
Can you do one with, is stead of markeetshare, profitshare, as in how much of the profit made in the mobile phone industry is made by each company?
Depends if I'll have such data.
My first phone is a Siemens c55
In 2001 when I was 10, I once dropped my mom's Nokia while I was playing snake. As a result, there was a massive crater like hole in the hardwood floor where the phone dropped.
lol
HTC. Still my favorite handset OEM. Just didn't advertise well, but always had the most sturdy hardware and robust launcher.
100%. Loved my HTC's more than anything but was forced to switch to the Note cuz HTC just couldn't keep up.
Their Sense launcher were the best in the middle of 2010
Nokias dominance over 10 years was highly commendable. The smart fone era killed them off despite nokia themselves putting out a few of them
My first was a brick Motorola. Nice to see they're creeping back up.
Siemens... what a great name.
интересно а если сравнить чистую прибыль с прадаж телефонов, яблоки во скок раз обойдут всех остальных ? (учитывая что их бренд не имеет совсем уж бюджетных версий как у остальных)
No competition for Apple, for sure.
I noticed after a buy a new phone brand it hits big 6 years later. Motorola, blackberry, nokia, samsung, and apple!! All got their phones 6 years before they were popular!
Bro how do you make these vids, it must needs lots of data for every quarter?
Interpolation
Who else has an iPhone? I've had mine for three years (I have the iPhone 8) and it is still in perfect condition :)
I missed you my friend been asking for your return for 2 years
Nokia na época do ensino médio em 2004 era muito divertido com jogo da cobra.
I had a Siemens phone, for some reason the keys were always sticky.
Ppl aren’t realising is that Samsung sold more than 100 models a year that too at various price ranges. Apple only released one phone, now 3-4 phones a year. And it’s impressive how much they sold.
Moto gang OP
I still have the (current) most popular smartphone! I'm "with" it! YEAH! 😆
Nokia was CREATIVE with their phones back then.
But the 2010's came and what we all NEEDED was INNOVATION afterall.
You can make many phones with all sorts of bizarre form factors but still is just a BASIC PHONE.
