AppleInsider reports, “Weekly sales rankings by Japan’s BCN list Softbank’s 32GB iPhone 5s as the nation’s the top seller, with the same model on NTT DoCoMo and au/KDDI filling out the top three.
“iPhone 5c on Softbank and au took the fifth and sixth spots, while the second place DoCoMo phone was the high end 64GB iPhone 5s.
“The top selling smartphone not from Apple wasn’t a domestic branded smartphone or a Samsung model but rather a low end Chinese device by ZTE.”
Apparently, the Japanese are not too fond of Samsung Galaxy smartphones. According to the site, “Sony represented two models in the top 20, while the top selling Samsung device was a Galaxy S4 at 16th, behind two additional iPhone models: 64GB versions of iPhone 5s on au and NTT DoCoMo. In total, Apple took 12 of the top 20 slots compared to just one Samsung device.”
