The new report by analyst firm IDC indicates that the top feature phone vendor for Q1 2022 was Itel Mobile. The report indicates that the feature phone market grossed more than $1 billion during the period. There was however a dip in the number of units sold which stood at 58.9 million. The decline from Q1 2021 was 28.5% but feature phones chalked up 16% of the total mobile phone sales in Q1 2022.

While Nokia 105 was the most sought feature phone in Q1 2022, Itel’s top position was driven by strong demand for its products. Three of the phones in the top five were from Itel although the Tecno T402 came second. The IT5260, IT2173, and IT2171 were the Itel phones that made the top five.

Nokia has continued to have strong gains in several markets as reflected by previous reports. It has seen an 87% surge in revenue in North America while Western Europe recorded a decent 37% growth YoY. The Nokia brand in the United Kingdom has also seen massive growth in its market share. It is currently in the third position in the UK smartphone market.

Nokia is expected to continue its strong showing in the feature phones market in the second quarter of this year. The spread of its growth could also span up to five regions from its 2021 performance.
