Samsung Galaxy A17 is the most popular entry-level mobile phone in Taiwan. (Photo/Official website) If you have a budget of only about 5,000 yuan and want to buy a new mobile phone, there are still many “high CP value” options on the market. Especially in recent years, the specifications of entry-level mobile phones have improved rapidly, which is very different from the past impression of “cheap mobile phones are only usable”.
According to the ranking of Taiwan’s best-selling mobile phones in the first quarter of 2026 released by the market survey, based on the channel price of about 5,000 yuan, the five best-selling entry-level mobile phones in Taiwan are, in order, Samsung Galaxy A17 (6GB/128GB), OPPO A5 Pro (6GB/128GB), Samsung Galaxy A17 (8GB/128GB), vivo Y29s (6GB/128GB), and OPPO A6s (6GB/128GB).
Among them, the best-selling entry-level mobile phone in Taiwan is the Samsung Galaxy A17. Since this phone was launched in Taiwan in August last year, its sales performance has been quite stable. One of the biggest highlights is that it is equipped with a 50-megapixel main lens at an entry-level price and supports OIS optical anti-shake.
This also reflects the current changes in the entry-level mobile phone market. In the past, the camera performance of many affordable mobile phones was generally weak, but in recent years, brands have begun to decentralize more advanced functions. Even models priced around 5,000 yuan can provide a relatively stable shooting experience.
On the other hand, another trend can also be observed from this ranking, that is, 5G has almost become the mainstream specification of entry-level mobile phones, and 4G mobile phones are gradually fading out of the market. The main reason is that the price difference between 5G and 4G mobile phones has narrowed significantly in recent years. For most consumers, instead of choosing 4G models now, it is better to buy 5G mobile phones directly, which will have a longer service life in the future.
