West likes stock android thats why Pixel and One Plus sells well in both tech community and non-tech community. Xiaomi software is trash, most of the times. West likes simple uncluttered software. MIUI has failed to provide that over the years.

      OhNom, 16 Jul 2021This is getting out of control, we only have 3 companies th... moreThere are two more reasons for this. Motorola is non-existent since ages. Hardly any phones they are releasing. Even if they do, they are all crap except this year. Moto G60 is good device for the price. Another reason is overpriced BBK group devices. Every company is over priced except Realme. Oppo/Vivo/One Plus has gone mad to charge so much for their devices which they don't deserve. 850USD is what max they can ask for 8+256 variant of OP9P or Oppo Find X3 Pro. They are charging quiet high for the same.

              Samsung should consider pricing their phones more reasonably in markets like India. Their ridiculous pricing in India is the proof of their dethroning.

                Anonymous, 16 Jul 2021Bbk is no1 for years now. Good thing that competition is st... moreBBK is good for nothing now.


                Yes, they have killer flagships this year in the form of Oppo Find X3 Pro, Vivo X60 Pro Plus, One Plus 9 Pro, but Mi 11 Ultra has taken a lead in that regard. Apart from software experience, Mi 11 Ultra is best bang for buck.




                BBK group doesn't have value for money devices across each category. Vivo is still struggling with Dimensity 800U/720G in 450USD category whereas Xiaomi is giving snapdragon 750G to 870 in the same price range.

                  True, that Xiaomi is remarkable, but that shall not make us forget so much about #1 on the list, IMO

                            Well, well, it's time for apple to bribe the US administration to designate Xiaomi a communist company and impose sanctions.

                              time to ban xiaomi

                                Earlier Huwaei came into neck and neck with Samsung and US just banned them.

                                    Bless them, the best ecosystem ever! It's a pleasure to use any of their products and it's not only about the price, but also looks and reliability! Keep on going strong!
