The Biggest-Selling Mobile Phone
When people talk about the most popular phones ever, you might expect an iPhone or some high-tech Android. But nope…
The Nokia 1100, launched in 2003, is the best-selling phone of all time with over 250 million units sold, outpacing rivals like the Nokia 3210/3310 and Motorola RAZR V3.
Known for being cheap, durable, and widely available, it capitalized on the communications boom in developing countries, especially India.
However, despite its success, Nokia dropped out of the top five smartphone makers by 2012.
