Unlocked Phone Market Report: Sales Volume, Market Share, Leading Brands & Market Trends

Apple is the best-performing unlocked phone brand in July 2026, moving 20,000 units across 5 ASINs for 54.1% of Top 10 volume. Samsung follows with 11,000 units (29.7%), ahead of Motorola on 6,000 units (16.2%).

With 3 brands splitting the Top 10 and 100.0% of volume sitting with three of them, this is a concentrated shelf — the leaders hold multiple listings or one very high-velocity ASIN, so a new entrant competes against established review moats rather than an open field. Average selling prices among the leaders run from $134.98 to $248.31, which frames the price band a competing listing has to justify.

Based on July 2026 data, this shortlist surfaces the two kinds of ASIN worth keeping an eye on — the ones that just broke into the Top 10, and the ones growing fastest month over month. Specifically, 2 ASINs forced its way in: B088NQXD8T booked 3K units at $94.39, with ▲ 50.0% MoM change. On the growth side, B0BN72FYFG leads positive momentum with ▲ 200.0% MoM growth on 6K units.

The two signals carry different weight. A fresh entrant means share has already changed hands — an incumbent gave up its place to make room, so any competitive set drawn up a month ago is now out of date. A steep growth rate works as the earlier warning: it marks demand that is still compounding, usually a month or two before the ranking catches up to it.
