Spoiler: Xiaomi is #1 now.

Xiaomi are listening to their customers!

Literally. 😅

Not really a surprise considering the size of their domestic market. An interesting statistic would be each of these vendor’s shares outside of their home country. I’m particularly curious at Apple’s share without the US’s iPhone majority.

Whelp it’s a shame that xiaomi is now going to end up on the entity list.

I started using Xiaomi Redmi Note 7pro back in 2019 and have upgraded every year. At $300 average price tag, it is a fantastic device. HyperOS is really good and my current Redmi Note 13pro came with some garbage but it was easy to remove/disable.

I bought an umidigi Bison Pro 3, years ago. It’s still going strong with no noticeable issues

I tried to get a custom ROM but they don’t seem to exist, people call this a garbage brand (it may be, I don’t know) but it has served me well and I’m happy to have paid $250 for a fast phone so I can constantly chat with my wife and browse Lemmy… Why would I pay $1000 for a “flagship” phone to do those 2 same, completely non critical, tasks?
