Not that long ago, the mobile devices market recognized only one king – Nokia. But the emergence of smartphones helped HTC dethrone the Finnish brand. However, the glory of this Taiwanese manufacturer didn’t last long. Now the mobile world leaders are Samsung and Apple. But the Chinese smartphone maker companies are breathing down the neck of these two. Huawei has been in the third position for a couple of years. And in some quarters, it even surpasses the Cupertino-based company. But what about other China-based brands? When asking this question, most of you will think of Xiaomi. Today, the special conference held in Japan, the manufacturer official uncovered that Xiaomi is the world’s fourth smartphone maker.
Gizchina News of the week
It turns out this manufacturer has deployed operations in more than 90 countries and regions around the world. But what’s interesting, in 42 countries and regions, Xiaomi has achieved good results, landing in the top five. This simply means, in almost half of the markets, Xiaomi is among the leaders. Thus, the recognition rate of this brand is quite high.

But if Xiaomi’s performance is the smartphone market is expected, many are not aware of the myriads of products this company is launching. Say, Xiaomi has currently deployed more than 2,000 ecosystems and consumer IoT devices. Due to this, it has become one of the world’s largest consumer IoT platforms, with a total of 213.2 million IoT access devices.
Finally, Xiaomi also emphasized that hardware profits will be guaranteed to not exceed 5% in all markets.
5% profit margin is why I switched to xiaomi from apple. I don’t know about you, but paying into Apple’s 70% profit margin make me feel like a sucker. So I took my banker’s advice, when he said that the only Apple product he’s willing to buy is its stocks.
iPhone owners do EXACTLY what Apple expects from them… wasting your hard earned money on THEIR products. Initially they were kinda alone, but then ANDROID came along and before you knew court proceedings started flying left, right and center. Millions were wasted on rubbish that had NOTHING to do with this new phenomena. Slowly Android (Samsung in particular) started growing and also other brands. No more court cases because Android is open source. Soon Android became the biggest operating system, especially when Apple started CHEATING the market by FAKING a larger screen SIZE. I said FAKING because a notch is a FAKE bezel! Now Chinese brands have entered the market and LOADS OF NEW FEATURES and (other than Apple) started INNOVATING. One has to be absolutely BLIND to not see what’s going on. THE WORLD DOESN’T NEED PATENTS! PATENTS STOP PROGRESS! What we REALLY need is companies like Samsung, Huawei and Xiaomi who take a gamble and come out with something NEW. Larger batteries, underscreen technology, Unfortunately (and due to the stupidity of ANDROID users who happily accepted losing GOOD STUFF like bezels (especially the chin with physical buttons), replacement batteries, easy access to SIM- and SD card slots and more. Especially the Chinese manufacturers are starting to see what the market wants! Remember the rubbish that so called ‘experts’ went on and on in the earlier stages of Samsung? Plastic vs other materials? CRAP! I’ve NEVER broken a screen! Not even SCRATCHED!
