Here are the top smartphone brands in the Philippines in Q2 2026

Smartphone shipments in the Philippines for Q2 2026 show clear winners. TRANSSION led with 33% market share, followed by Xiaomi at 22% and Samsung at 16%. HONOR and OPPO each secured 10%, rounding out the top five.

The numbers reflect how brands are adjusting to rising prices in Southeast Asia. TRANSSION continues to dominate entry-level buyers, while Xiaomi builds strength in the mid-range.

Samsung, despite raising prices on models like the Galaxy A07 and A17, still held a solid third place. HONOR’s entry into the top five shows growing traction, while OPPO’s share slipped after scaling back in the sub-$100 segment.

Overall shipments in the region dropped, but the Philippine market remains competitive. Consumers are moving toward devices priced above $100, pushing average selling prices higher.

The impact is clear. Entry-level phones are losing ground, mid-range models are gaining, and the top five brands are fighting harder for every point. With rising memory costs expected in the second half of 2026, the market could see more price changes and tighter competition.
