Every month, over a hundred thousand parcels leave our warehouse. In the article below, we reveal which products are our biggest sellers.

1st place

Samsung 850 EVO Basic (500 GB, 2.5")
SSD

Samsung 850 EVO Basic

500 GB, 2.5"

PC geeks are among digitec's early customers. Many of them have remained loyal to us. This has a direct impact on component sales. The most popular of these is the SSD, and the best-selling model is Samsung's EVO with 500GB.

2nd place

Apple iPhone 6s (32 GB, Space Grey, 4.70", Single SIM, 12 Mpx, 4G)
Smartphones

Apple iPhone 6s

32 GB, Space Grey, 4.70", Single SIM, 12 Mpx, 4G

The iPhone & is digitec's best-selling smartphone. By the way, exactly this model; sidereal grey. How boring!

3rd place

The Office subscription has, for the first time, beaten the standalone version: you still get the latest version of the Office pack, but you have to renew the licence every year.

4th place

Streaming ahead: the Sonos multiroom system convinces the majority of customers by far.

5th place

LG Nexus 5X (32 GB, Charcoal, 5.20", Single SIM, 12.30 Mpx, 4G)
Smartphones
CHF499.–

LG Nexus 5X

32 GB, Charcoal, 5.20", Single SIM, 12.30 Mpx, 4G

Pure Android: the new Nexus 5X wows the majority of Android fans.

6th place

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (32 GB, Black Onyx, 5.50", Hybrid Dual SIM, 12 Mpx, 4G)
Smartphones

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

32 GB, Black Onyx, 5.50", Hybrid Dual SIM, 12 Mpx, 4G

Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge is more popular than the S7. The Nexus 5X is only just ahead of it.

7th place

Small, but strong! The performance of this speaker is always surprising. The good record-breaking reviews from the community speak for themselves.

8th place

Xtorm XB102 Free (15000 mAh, 55.50 Wh)
Powerbanks
Used
CHF25.– CHF0.45/1Wh

Xtorm XB102 Free

15000 mAh, 55.50 Wh

digitec has not escaped the Pokémon craze. Emergency chargers have sold particularly well.

9th place

Streaming again! The Google Chromecast is the most popular hub for streaming at home.

10th place

The best-selling computer isn't a PC or a notebook. It's a Raspberry Pi 3. (It still would be, even if we hadn't installed 1,000 of them in our branches.)

We've embellished the list a little to keep it interesting: cables, consumables, memory cards and the like are not included. Professional customer purchases have also been excluded. Putting it all together wasn't as easy as we thought, because we have different classifications. Some summarise the different types and models, and some where only specific products are listed. This list is a mixture of both approaches.

Fun Fact

Is this a joke? No no, Pokémon Go has actually had an influence on spare charger sales. Sales of the XB102 Free above prove it.

Yours!
