Apple shipped its latest iPhone 7 with a minimum of 32 GBs of capacity for the entry-level model in September 2016.

Four Chinese vendors -- Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi and Huawei Technologies Co. -- followed Apple in the top spots, with Vivo leading the pack with an average of 47 GBs storage space, the data showed.

The average storage space of smartphones by Samsung Electronics Co. came to 24 GBs, far below that of Android-powered devices with 27 GBs. The South Koran tech firm puts 16GB NAND flash into its budget smartphones, including the A-series.
