Also, BBK's strong supply chain helps to keep costs low.

I think Honor will have the largest growth in the next year though and they will gain strongly on the other brands (as long as the US doesn't restrict their supply chain)

    Seems like Chinese know that Xiaomi phones are filled with software bugs and ads. No one will buy Xiaomi for their poor software experience.

    Oppo and Vivo are balanced in terms of software and hardware.

      Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Why is Xiaomi not popular as Vivo and Oppo in China? 🤔Biggest mistake they did, however you cannot fault them. Back then they were a very small company, even now, they are still the smallest of the chinese brands compared to Huawei or BBK Electronics. In my country, they arrived in 2014 (Xiaomi) because of supply problems, they couldn't supply the products people were ordering, they left in 2016. BBK arrived soon, were it dominated, setting up so many physical stores in every nook and cranny. By the time Xiaomi came back in 2018, BBK already had a foothold in the country, with each store of BBK also having its own service center.

        bulbulito.bayagbag, 25 Aug 2021Because Xiaomi started offline, and not a lot of people in ... moreYep. Xiaomi has expanded their offline presence massively though in the last couple of years and are gaining on Oppo and Vivo since the Huawei ban but in rural areas Vivo and Oppo are still very popular. In the largest cities like Shanghai and Beijing Vivo and Oppo are really not that popular at all. A lot of people almost look down on them

          saurabhaj1, 25 Aug 2021Because of BBK and its marketing advantages of running 3 co... moreBecause Xiaomi started as an offline model, were you can only purchase their devices online. BBK is the exact opposite, starting with physical stores first. Emerging markets of course will prefer physical stores over online.

            Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Vivo has been making good phones and introducing new smartp... moreTrue, besides, BBK is bigger than Xiaomi. As it has in its portfolio Oppo, Vivo, Realme and OnePlus. Definitely after Huawei, its them on top pf the foodchain. Xiaomi is the smallest company compared to these.

              Aierlan, 25 Aug 2021Because of the offline market.

                Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Why is Xiaomi not popular as Vivo and Oppo in China? 🤔Because of the offline market. Oppo and Vivo are popular in the smaller Chinese cities and rural areas where most sales are offline. Roughly 70% of smartphone sales in China are still offline

                  rizki1, 25 Aug 2021I want to know how the sales of the Huawei P50 series are? ... moreYou can't buy it at the moment. It's always sold out as it has very limited stock and is only available in flash sales. If you want to buy most Huawei phones in China now you have to pay around 10-25% over the official prices as they are all out of stock and the demand is very high (especially for the 5g models) . For example, I was looking into a Mate 40 (non pro). The official price for a new one is 4,999rmb but the cheapest second hand one I could find is 5,299rmb which is crazy and new ones from 3rd party resellers are around 6,500rmb

                    Vivo has been making good phones and introducing new smartphone technology for a while now. The pop up camera, under-display fingerprint reader and gimbal camera were all first implemented in Vivo phones. They deserve first place in the absence of Huawei.

                      I want to know how the sales of the Huawei P50 series are? (sorry oot)

                        Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Why is Xiaomi not popular as Vivo and Oppo in China? 🤔Because of BBK and its marketing advantages of running 3 companies at a time.
                        Their camera expertise have fallen in 2021,only in front camera,they can fight now.

                          Weird because most of huawei sales were under Honor brand.
                          Since early 2020, it shows Honor far lower.

                            Anonymous, 25 Aug 2021Why is Xiaomi not popular as Vivo and Oppo in China? 🤔its look like good supplier, stock and seller. same in indonesia oppo sells better than xiaomi or even samsung with just 1% different.
