Which a case in point, in listening to their consumers.

Huawei is way different than Xiaomi, probably US government went against them because of their aggressive price policy about TLC infrastructures... not because of their escalating mobile sales figures

              Nice rank xiaomi.
              xiaomi is good in hardware and software, it is if you buy their highend devices. i'm Mi 10 ultra user has get MIUI 12 updates 4 times this October. No ads inside this phone, its periscope and the night mode camera is satisfying ,etc

              If you buy cheap xiaomi, then you get bunches of Ads and short software updates :v Also get macro depth camera as usual :v

                Lasuto, 30 Oct 2020Click the source link. It doesn't says how many phones... moreThe Nord alone sold 1 million units in India (not counting worldwide sales).
                OP8 pro, OP8, OP8T and last year's one plus 7 series (due to drop in price) have sold a lot as well.
                So the 3-5 million number is true.

                IQOO hasn't been counted as well.
                So BBK is technically no.1 right now.
                Chinese always ahead.

As i gave an example with the Note 8/8T, updates are more of a afterthought at Xiaomi. And it will get only one single major update (Android 10). No wonder, since Xiaomi brings every week a new phone in the market. They themselves lost the count...
                    Samsung on the contrary has changed since 2019. Security updates will come even for the cheapest models every 3 months. And 2 years major Android updates for all low to mid tier models (M and A-series until A41, will get 2 major Android updates). Mid- to high-end models will get 3 years of major Android updates (A51 and higher, Note-, S-, Z-, Fold-series).
                    Sony (flagship models), OnePlus (flagship models) and Google are get 3 Android updates too.

                          You want to know why the Internet got spammed with Exynos FUD this summer? This is it. Apple failing.

                              I think it's the matter of months before Xiaomi become No.2.And first place might be in sight next year,since,obviously,Samsung won't be able to keep its position on the market.Especially if they're not present on the world biggest consumer market,China...

Only if you have an upper midrange/highend Mi device, you will get updates and then, only after many other brands. The Redmi devices are almost forgotten within a year.
                                  Redmi Note 8/ 8T is still with Android 9. The last security update is from last August. Android 11 came officially out. It's almost 2021 and still no Android 10 for Redmi Note 8/8T in sight. Android 11 won't come to this device at all.

                                    Do you know what would happen if Xiaomi or BBKs all of their phones look exactly the for 3 years like crApples? And they release a phone every week.
