vendor, maker, brand are all mixed up here....

Oppo may as well be number one with solid margin as to number of devices build and sold. Just their production is split under many brands....

      Rajeander, 16 Jul 2021Of course, their affordable flagships are unstoppable.As long as people get top specs for cheap irrespective of poor UI quality, subpar aftersales support etc. Almost no Xiaomi buyer cares. Xiaomi will not topple Samsung.

        So, China may be big country but considering the advantages they get from South Korea and samsung as samsung has chip factories, display units which gives US huge gdp and employment. banning it may have a huge impact .

          The Android Freak, 16 Jul 2021Only thing they need to improve is software. Once they do t... moreAs lately we use the mobile phones to do everything, from banking to our job tasks, the software it is the one that you have to look at. Being SN X, SN Y or EX Z it is not important if they are correct implemented and marketed. The display, the ram type, the ssd solution, the communication type aka 5G, BT, NFC etc are hardware parts that matters too. Also it is pretty much differences between Samsung and Xiaomi own software. But if the software it is not trusted it is the end of the story.

I did see a Chinese report in the past where they were included with Oppo's figures but can't remember who published it

                  But yeah, in case of Xiaomi, the Xiaomi brand is much more pronounced, and on each Poco and Redmi device, you can find the Xiaomi name.

                    AnonD-546724, 16 Jul 2021How long before the US pull the plug on Xiaomi too ? The... moreDoubt if the US would be overly concerned with Xiaomi's rise at the moment. Huawei was a threat to the US because of their 5g network technology and also because they designed chips. Basically, they were probably China's most innovative tech company which was probably the main reason for trying to take them down. Xiaomi doesn't even design the majority of their own phones so they aren't really a threat in terms of technology or innovation. Most of their phones are designed and manufactured by 3rd parties like Wingtech and Longcheer. Maybe if they get more involved in Chip design they will be more of a threat and more at risk of a ban

You guys do realize China is one of worlds largest super powers next to US ? South Korea is maybe like on 5th place or something... Also Huawei was doing weird things that Samsung and apparently Xiaomi (despite being Chinese) aren't doing.

                                    In reality BBK electronics is no 1 if we add up all the sister brands of vivo, oppo, oneplus, realme and iqoo. Poor Huawei/Honor. They were breathing down on no 1 spot with amazing hardware. What a fall it has been.

                                      How long before the US pull the plug on Xiaomi too ?

                                      The questionable "If you can't beat them, remove them" is exactly
                                      the move they played with Huawei.

                                      Some Apple CEO told Washington :
                                      "we need the Chineses out or we're gonna lose our N°2"

                                      That's the only reason Huawei has passed away.
                                      The US know they can't f*ck with Samsung without getting
                                      WW3 as a result but Xiaomi should be careful.

                                        Congratulations to Xiaomi but they should move forward with a refined software which runs fluiditly without bloated apps.
