Galaxy S24 Ultra selling Android 2024

According to the latest report by market research firm Canalys, the global smartphone market grew by 7% in 2024, reaching 1.22 billion units, a rebound after two consecutive years of decline. But, Samsung made history with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the only flagship Android phone to be most-selling the most in 2024.

The report says that the Galaxy S24 Ultra became the highest-selling flagship Android phone in 2024, ranking 9th and Galaxy A15 has 4th ranking after Apple’s iPhone 15, this year’s iPhone 16 Pro Max, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

In addition to this, Galaxy A15 5G is also in the top 10 ranked with eight. Speaking about particular companies, Samsung ranks second with 222.9 million units, accounting for 18% of the market. While Apple retained its lead, shipping 225.9 million units with an 18% share.

Overall, for the full year 2024, iPhone shipments declined 1% to 225.9 million units. The Korean tech giant remained in second place due to its continued profitability focus, as its shipments also declined 1% to 222.9 million units.

No flagship Android phone was in the top 10 best-selling smartphone charts in 2023. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24 Ultra was the only best-selling Android flagship in the year 2024.

Notably, Samsung delivered its strongest S-series volumes since 2019, tilting more towards the Ultra than ever before. However, no Galaxy Ultra phone was in the top 10 best-selling smartphone charts. 

But the Galaxy S24 Ultra has changed that, and it intends to continue the S-series growth with the Galaxy S25, driven by a continued focus on AI-driven experiences, including the complementary Gemini Advanced subscription.

Galaxy S26 camera button

The Samsung Galaxy S26 series has started emerging in the leaks, and the latest one has shed light on the camera button of the upcoming 2026 flagship. 

As mentioned by Android Authority, a former employee at a Samsung supplier revealed on LinkedIn that they contributed to an initiative developing a new camera button with swipe gesture functionality for the Samsung Galaxy S26.

This report states that Samsung is working on an Apple-style Camera Control button for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. An Apple-style Camera Control button on iPhone models lets you quickly open your iPhone camera and access common camera settings. 

We can now say that the Galaxy S26 series will be the first Samsung phones in years to feature a dedicated camera button. 

For your information, the last Samsung phone with a dedicated camera button was probably the Galaxy K Zoom from 2014, which was essentially an Android-powered digital camera that could also make calls.

On the other hand, Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the Galaxy S26 lineup. However, according to reports, the company may unveil the Galaxy S26 series at a Samsung Unpacked event in February 2026. This upcoming series could be available in early March. Stay tuned for more information.
