Nicosuma's October 2025 Smartphone Sales and Purchase Rankings
Nicosuma, operated by Belong Inc. based in Minato, Tokyo, recently revealed its rankings for the number of used smartphone sales and purchases for October 2025. As the market for secondhand smartphones continues to grow, these rankings provide insight into consumer preferences and popular device choices.
Overview of the Rankings
According to the latest data, since the announcement of the iPhone 17 series in September, both the iPhone SE (3rd Generation) and the iPhone 13 series have maintained high transaction volumes. The iPhone SE (3rd Generation) (64GB) has ranked first in sales for five consecutive months. Notably, the iPhone 13 (128GB) reached its highest-ever position at second place, while the iPhone 13 mini (128GB) climbed further to fifth place compared to the previous month.
The continued popularity of the iPhone SE (3rd Generation) and iPhone 13 mini, which do not have newer successors, indicates a strong consumer desire for features like fingerprint recognition and compact size. One significant advantage of the used smartphone market is not only their affordability but also the extensive selection available, allowing consumers to find devices that fit their individual needs.
In the purchase rankings, the iPhone SE (2nd Generation) (64GB) has secured the first position for two consecutive months. Interestingly, when examining the total transactions by model, older generation devices like the iPhone 12 have also shown significant activity, being ranked second behind the iPhone SE (2nd Generation), suggesting that consumers are still actively interested in hardware that is a generation behind.
