The mobile phone market especially in China is very complex. There are no less than four mobile phone brands that are struggling for the top spot. There is no other large market in the world that has such competition. At the beginning of this year, Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun publicly stated that the high-end road is the only way for Xiaomi to grow. This means that the company wants to enter the high-end market no matter what it takes. Xiaomi is doing just that with its latest flagships.
A few days ago, according to the sales share data of China’s mobile phone brands released by a market research agency in November, Xiaomi ranks second with sales of 3.4 million units. However, the company is the top Chinese brand in terms of mobile phone sales. Although Apple still ranks first with sales of 5.3 million units, its growth fell by 16.5% month-on-month (MoM). This is the largest decline among all the brands on the list. Thus, Apple has a lot of work to do. While Apple is declining by 16.5%, Xiaomi records an MoM rise of 34.6%. This is a massive rise for Xiaomi.Â
