Every end of each week, GSM Arena produces a chart of its top 10 trending phones based on searches of a particular brand or model. Hits are then tallied on a weekly basis. On top of the list for week 5 is Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi with its Redmi Note 4 with MediaTek chipset. It has been on the charts for three consecutive weeks now.

Next on the list is the Galaxy J7 Prime. This Samsung mid-ranger phone is not without a premium feel. The Nokia 6 is at third place; it was second for two straight weeks. The fourth on the list is the still the previous week's number 4 -- the 2016 Galaxy J7, also known as Duos. So-called the selfie expert, Oppo's F1S ,which was released in August 2016, is fifth in the roster.

Trending Devices With A Snappy Performance

Furthermore, Xiaomi has another entrant on week 5's top 10 trending phones. The Redmi Note 3 now ranks sixth. According to Android Authority, everything about this device is fast -- even its fingerprint reader. The Redmi Note 3 excels in key areas where its competitors do not. The only downside is there is no US availability other than online.

A newcomer to the top 10 trending phones chart is the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8. It is speculated to be available in the market by end of March; yet, it has made its way to the number seven spot on this list. This perhaps goes to show that Samsung fans can't help talking about the company's next flagship phone.
