Xiaomi overtook Apple in sales of smartphones in Europe

According to published data, Xiaomi accounts for 23% of all devices sold in the past quarter in Europe, making the Chinese tech giant confidently ranked second among the most popular mobile brands. Samsung is in first place with a 35% share, and Apple is in third with 19%. Canalys highlights Xiaomi’s 85% year-on-year growth. For Apple and Samsung, this figure is 22% and 21%, respectively. The largest growth is by Oppo – 153%, while the share of the brand in the region is 4%.

Huawei is the only company in the Big Five to experience declining sales. After US sanctions, the Chinese tech giant’s smartphone sales plummeted 81%, and the share is now just 3%.

Returning to Xiaomi, it is worth noting that the brand is a relatively young player in the European market and the explosive growth in sales is probably due to the fact that the company sells mainly inexpensive smartphones with rather attractive characteristics.
