Despite everything, the sale of smartphones continued - albeit slightly slower than in the past, but the drop was not excessive.
Research agency Omdia has been conducting extensive research in the field for many years of telecommunications. This is also why they recently presented a list of the best-selling smartphones on the market in the first half of 2020.
