Report: Samsung Galaxy S7 was the second best-selling smartphone in the US

The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge were one of the best smartphones released this year, and no wonder millions of consumers worldwide bought these devices. Now, an analytics firm has released sales data for the best-selling smartphones in the US. According to the data, the Galaxy S7 was the second best-selling smartphone in the US.

According to the data released by an analytics firm Kantar World Panel, the iPhone 6s was the best-selling smartphone in the US (with 11 percent sales) in the three months ending June 2016. The Galaxy S7 was the second-best clocking in 9 percent sales during the same period, while the iPhone SE stood as the third best-selling smartphone in the country with 5 percent sales.

In the three months ending July 2016, the iPhone SE was the third top-selling device in the US, capturing 5% of smartphone sales, behind the Galaxy S7 at 9%, and the iPhone 6S at 11%.

Things won't be this rosy with the Galaxy Note 7 though, due to the whole exploding batteries fiasco. Samsung has ordered a massive recall of its latest high-end phablet in most of the markets around the world due to faulty batteries.
