Samsung is still the top premium brand in the Android smartphone space, with the company dominating the $400 and higher Android phone segment according to Counterpoint Research. This is at least partially due to the flagship Galaxy S series, and we can see why they’re so popular.

Samsung’s premium phones are available in almost every market, offer a respectable spec sheet, and come with the best update pledge in the entire Android phone landscape. The Galaxy S lineup is effectively the face of Android in many countries.
