[Update: Worse in Q2] Smartphone sales see biggest decline ever in Q1 2020 amid pandemic – 9to5Google
As a result of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic and the uncertainty surrounding it, smartphone sales have dropped to their lowest levels since 2013.
The economy as a whole is in turmoil right now, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, and that’s hitting smartphones sales hard. After a report from Canalys earlier this year saw the biggest sales dip ever in Q1 2020, things have gotten even worse in Q2.
Cutting right to the chase, smartphone shipments fell by 272 million units in Q1 2020, down 13% from Q4 2019. That’s not only the biggest drop we’ve ever seen in the smartphone market as a whole, but also the lowest level since 2013. Yikes.
