Samsung Galaxy A57 leads GSMArena’s week 24 trending phones chart

GSMArena readers pushed the Samsung Galaxy A57 to No. 1 on the site’s week 24 trending phones chart, moving it ahead of the Xiaomi 17T Pro and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The June 14 chart shows interest spreading across Samsung, Xiaomi, Apple, Sony-linked coverage, Motorola and Poco models. Xiaomi kept strong placement after the 17T series launch, but Samsung took two of the top three spots and placed another model in the top five.

The Galaxy A57 ranked first after sitting second the prior week. GSMArena lists the phone with 5G support, 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage options. The listed European price starts at €329 for the 128GB model, while the 256GB version appears at €387.98. UK pricing in the scraped listing varies by retailer, so buyers should check local stock before reading much into one chart entry.

The Xiaomi 17T Pro fell one spot to second. That move still gives Xiaomi a strong week, since the standard Xiaomi 17T ranked fourth. Launch interest often floods comparison pages for a few days, then readers start checking rivals, prices and reviews. The 17T pair appears to have kept that attention through week 24, with the Pro model drawing more interest than the base model.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra climbed to third from fourth. Ultra models tend to anchor Samsung’s high-end Android strategy, with the largest display, best camera hardware and broadest feature set in the lineup. Readers who search for the S26 Ultra likely compare it with Apple’s Pro Max model, Xiaomi’s Pro-tier phones and other flagship Android devices before choosing an ecosystem.

The rest of the top 10 shows how broad the phone market has become. Samsung’s Galaxy A17 stayed fifth, Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max moved to sixth from seventh, and Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 15 rose to seventh from eighth. Motorola’s Moto G Max entered the list at eighth, Apple’s standard iPhone 17 entered at ninth, and Xiaomi’s Poco X8 Pro held 10th.

The chart gives Samsung three spots, Xiaomi and its related Redmi and Poco brands four, Apple two and Motorola one. That split captures the pressure across the Android market. Samsung has brand reach and long software support. Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco compete through aggressive specs and price. Motorola can still break through when a G-series phone gives shoppers a large screen, long battery life or clean Android build at a lower price.

Software support may shape many of these searches. Samsung has used long Android update commitments as a selling point across more Galaxy models, while Xiaomi’s HyperOS ties phones, tablets, wearables and smart home products into one account system. Apple’s iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max searches point to iOS lock-in, where iMessage, FaceTime, AirDrop, Apple Watch and iCloud can matter as much as camera hardware.

That ecosystem question matters most for buyers who keep phones for four or five years. A Galaxy A57 shopper may care about display quality, battery life and update years more than benchmark scores. An iPhone 17 Pro Max shopper may pay extra to stay with Apple Watch, Mac and iCloud Photos. A Xiaomi 17T Pro shopper may want flagship-grade charging and cameras at a lower price than the top Ultra and Pro Max phones.

The GSMArena list also shows the split between aspirational phones and phones shoppers may buy soon. The Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max attract readers who want the best camera stack, fastest chips and premium materials. The Galaxy A57, Galaxy A17, Redmi Note 15, Moto G Max and Poco X8 Pro attract readers who compare memory, storage, screen size and price before making a purchase.

Readers can follow the source site at GSMArena and compare platform features through Android, Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi HyperOS and Apple iOS pages. The chart itself measures reader interest, so it should guide research rather than stand in for a review.

For week 24, Samsung took the top slot with a midrange 5G model, Xiaomi kept pressure near the top with the 17T series, and Apple placed both the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 in the back half of the list.
