Odd addition at the end of the title lol. It’s like it’s unusual for a product to be the most popular for the first time. As if it goes straight to the second time and skipping the first time.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding and need to read the article to fully get it, but I’m not biting.
Given this new information, I still maintain that there are issues with that title lol. It doesn’t properly capture what it’s about, even in a click baity way. 😅
The articles are based on data from Q2 2026, the time where everything is more expensive and so less budget-conscious consumers are purchasing a new phone, leaving a larger share of people shelling out over $1300 for a smartphone.
This “first” for Samsung is not really the achievement that the articles claim it to be. When you look at the headline, you believe that the S26 Ultra must have has a big leap forward to have this “first” title, when really it’s a result of the memory crisis (caused partly by Samsung) making everything expensive. The headline is a lie, like so many others.

The opening line gives a hint:
The “first” is that a premium phone is the top selling Android phone, whereas usually it’s a budget phone.

I’m not surprised in the least, that it is a lie. Thank you for the explanation though!
