Counterpoint's public comparisons show varied results across models. Six of nine tracked devices exceeded their predecessor's sell-through in equivalent first-six-month launch windows, while three fell behind. This is not a representative ranking of Malaysia's entire smartphone market.

These figures alone cannot establish the causes. Pricing, promotions, supply, distribution and buyer preferences might affect sales, but each explanation requires independent supporting evidence.
Comparison: each generation's first six months after launch. Public data through May 2026; figures are subject to Counterpoint revisions.
