Raymond, 29 Oct 2016Oppo brand are focus on camera functions and vivo brand are... moreOK but they have lack of seciurity updapes eg my rs7 plus still on 5.1 :-(

    AnonD-374843, 29 Oct 2016now I m no longer fan of Samsung ...now xiaomi is my first ... moreWhy are you no more a Samsung fan? Because of the Note 7 fiasco??
    You will see next year what kind of technology will Samsung bring. Just wait and you will see that. Anyway many battery explosions were fake, and almost all of them happened in USA. This is strange you know.
    About Xiaomi, I hope they will make more bezel-less smart phones in the near future and release them world-wide.

      Mobilemaster, 29 Oct 2016Honestly I doubt Oppo makes better phones than Huawei or Xi... morenow I m no longer fan of Samsung ...now xiaomi is my first choice but xiaomi nd huawei are far better than oppo and vivo ya we know bbk is parent company ..but xiaomi and huawei phone designs and innovation are good...personally I don't much like huawei but huawei honor 8 designs look impress me ..generally bbk launch oppo brand for camera ex camera phone and strategy for launching vivo is music performance ...and ya absolutely this staregy is working for bbk...

        OPPO, VIVO and ONE+ have same parent company,BBK.
        OPPO and VIVO make iPhone replicas with low end specs and Android. it's a God gift to those who cannot buy an iPhone,but would want to own one.

          Honestly I doubt Oppo makes better phones than Huawei or Xiaomi. Oppo devices looks like Apple devices, at least Huawei and Xiaomi are trying to not copy everything.
          Oppo is growing because of the cheap price, but let not forget Xiaomi devices are also cheap. Huawei now thinks different.

                  BBK is Oppo is Vivo is One Plus.
                  One company. Three brands.

                      Not surprised. They actually manufacture high end phones that look like iPhones , have high end specs and literally a fraction of the price. Meanwhile you have huawei and xiaomi charging a premium, you literallly get exactly the same with oppo mich cheaper. Same quality build specs, etc etc.

                        spec wise chinese phones are good but no software updates and software degrades after some time

                                Huawei is still the 3rd largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, and they'll surpass Oppo and Vivo as the biggest phone manufacturer in China again soon, thanks to the Mate9, some low-end and mid-range phones, and the upcoming P10. Not worrying about Huawei, they know what they're doing.

                                  AnonD-510098, 29 Oct 2016Huawei will be back in top in Quarter 4 with the release of... moreor it could be Xiaomi with the new miMix (that bezel less display)

Mi Mix is especially like a limited edition. Xiaomi dont make enough of it for the whole world. Just enough for China. Import it if you can but I doubt it is available at all.

                                      Julliard, 29 Oct 2016At least Oppo, Vivo, and Huawei dont make smartphone (Mi Mi... moreWhat's wrong with not releasing the phones in europe or america right now? There are plenty of global roms you can install if you buy from china and as you said xiaomi phones support all bands. Not releasing phones in many places helps them keep the prices a bit lower. Xiaomi also tries to create something better and new.

                                        Oppo brand are focus on camera functions and vivo brand are focus on music functions.Boths of the brand are under one company group.There are very smart on marketing strategy.
