The excitement around the Sony Xperia 1 VIII has settled slightly, allowing the Samsung Galaxy A57 to reclaim the top spot in our trending chart for week 21. The Galaxy S26 Ultra climbed back to second place, while Sony’s latest flagship settled for bronze.
The newly announced Xiaomi 17 Max held onto fourth place, a position it secured even before its official debut. Right behind it sits the Galaxy A17, one of Samsung’s most affordable current models, clearly attracting significant attention from budget-conscious buyers worldwide.
Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max ranks sixth, ahead of the Honor 600 Pro and Redmi Note 15. The standard Honor 600 model takes ninth place, while the Poco X8 Pro rounds out this week’s top 10.
The chart reflects continued strong interest in Samsung’s mid-range lineup, persistent curiosity about Sony’s premium offerings, and growing excitement around Xiaomi’s expanding 17 series. With several major launches expected in the coming weeks, next week’s chart could look very different.
Stay tuned for more updates as the mobile landscape continues to evolve.
