30 October 2020
The market bounced back after 2020's rough start.

Adul Al Salami Kebab, 30 Oct 2020All their sub-brands combined actually beats Samsung... mind sharing that link you got your info from?

    I always believed that xiaomi would be the one that gains the most from Huaweis fall. especially in Europe where it's a decently known brand compared to oppo or realme.

      Quality product + best specs to price ratio+ good software support makes the perfect combination for Xiaomi. People who often criticized Xiaomi phones about the ad they have in their phones, have not used their software or did not know that you are able to disable 98% of all ads. I think their secret formula, is the way they listen to their customer and provide progressive feedback. As long that they have promised not to go over the 5% profit margin on their phone, I would not be surprised that they could overcome Samsung 1 day.

                      Apple is going to double down on leaving things out of the box now. Next year, you won't even get a charging cable. Just waiting for iPhone users to get feed up with being treated like chumps.

                          Vasra, 30 Oct 2020Apple dropped to 5th, because BBK brands shipped more than ... moreBBKs key market is India.
                          I feel Reliance will be launching its Jio handset division once 5G network starts to get implemented in india probably by 2022.
                          Once it happen, indian market will quickly shift towards Jio cellphones because lucrative carrier based 5G schemes. They have kind of monopoly and full government support with anti China sentiment.
                          Also They have done it in past with Jio network with the launch of 4G and quickly became no 1 telecom network in india.
                          So there is no doubt about their capability and deep pockets.
                          Also The investment by qualcomm, google, facebook in Jio platform has provided enough hints for their future strategy. Its only a matter of time.

                            I didn't expect Xiaomi to do so well. I feel an odd sense of pride because I own one of their products

                              BBK is already there.

                              Vivo = 31.8 million.
                              Oppo = Around 31.1 million.
                              Realme = 15.1 million.
                              That's 78 million right there.

                              OnePlus must Atleast be around 4-5 million.

                                Hope Xiaomi won't be ban😆. Poor companies think about customer's needs n wants n provide them n then get ban by biggies.
                                When you cannot compete with them, ban them. Lol.

                                      Vasra, 30 Oct 2020Apple dropped to 5th, because BBK brands shipped more than ... moreIf huawei goes has GMS, they will get crushed for sure. But i feel good about the trade war, it makes huawei more dependable on themselves, not others like Google, and now we get a 3rd choice besides GMS android, and IOS. If it weren't for the trade war, Huawei will not be making its own ecosystem. So i am grateful to the trade wars aloowing Huawei to build their own ecosystem. I believe 3 years later Huawei will make an comeback.

                                        Apple dropped to 5th, because BBK brands shipped more than 77M phones (Canalys numbers) and they became the world's second biggest smartphone maker, right after Samsung with a 20% market share, even bigger than Huawei!

                                        So the ranking is:
                                        1. Samsung
                                        2. BBK (brands: Oppo, Vivo, Realme, OnePlus, IQOO)
                                        3. Huawei
                                        4. Xiaomi
                                        5. Apple
                                        6. Lenovo
                                        7. LG
                                        8. Tecno (Transsion Holdings)
                                        9. Everybody else (including Sony!)

                                        In a few years Apple will be 6th and BBK will be no.1.
