2023 Winners and losers: Xiaomi

I always liked Sony's camera performance, but even I can say that the 13 Ultra is an astonishing camera-centric smartphone released in 2023. Of course, Vivo and Oppo also use the IMX989 camera sensor. But the Photography Kit's 67mm filter adapter is something every smartphone OEM that makes a circular rear camera island should adapt and embrace. There's so much you can do with ND and CPL filters.
I never cared much about the Poco lineup, but the F5 got my vote because of the performance you can get for the price and also because it has the still-relevant headphone jack. The camera hardware isn't that interesting, but some people buy phones solely because of the SoC and nothing else.

I would set Note 12 series as a loser cause there were toooooo many versions of 12.
Poco be winner for the SD 7+ gen 2 in F5 and 3.5mm jack return on the F series while even X5 Pro was good and people even talk that it's camera is good in it's class as middle class phone. There was a article by some professional photographer who basically said that X5 Pro have already good enough camera and you dont need more then that on a phone.
Also people who suck at making pictures then there are no camera on phone that will do them good pictures. Cause taking pictures is a skill and you either have it or you dont. Cant point your finger at the tool when the tool is not the issue. No noob admit they are a noob and every noob will always accuse the tools on there own misfortune

Someone still buy Xiaomi phones?
When I had to recommend phone to my mother I rather opted for clean Android at Motorola, their offering was fully comparable with Redmi Note.
For flagship is not even a question why would anyone buy overpriced Xiaomi and not rather some Pixel or Samsung.
The whole appeal of Xiaomi used to be great value for money, but now that's gone, what's left? people going for VFM certainly won't be brand loyal especially if they don't care about unlockable bootloader (which is niche which matters for 0.01% customers)

almost everything on Xiaomi is a winner for me, but if GSMArena says the Poco series is loser I don't understand. Examples such as the Poco F5, X5 Pro... and the X6 Pro will also be a huge upgrade if the rebrand of the Redmi K70E is true.

How the heck is Redmi note 12 4g a winner it's a clown because of a slow processor bro (except other redmi note 12 devices), and how is Poco X5 a loser surely poco X5 pro is a champ with the Poco X5 a little bit lower but still a winner

Poco F5 is surely a winner especially here in my country. You just don't like using Poco phones. You are the real losers GSMArena. You are also wrong that Redmi Note 12 series is a winner, they are losers just like you. They underachieved this year.

Aierlan, 26 Dec 2023It's not selling great in China though. If you look at... moreXiaomi makes clear almost all their sales are cheap phones.
But somehow here, some ppl think xiaomi sells 10-12 million devices that cost over $700, when no one in China except Huawei and Apple has ever done this.
