Here’s who you think will stay on top – Marseille News

Xiaomi has made great strides in the past two months. The biggest validation of his success came recently when he overtook Samsung to become the world’s leading smartphone vendor. This is a huge accomplishment compared to Xiaomi just a few years ago.

Many factors have come together to ensure Xiaomi’s rise to the top. My colleague Hadlee Simons discusses some of these reasons for Xiaomi’s meteoric rise in this article. But given Xiaomi’s feat in overpowering Samsung, we thought we’d ask our readers if they thought the company would be able to maintain its leadership position in the market. Here’s how they voted in our poll and what they had to say.

Do you think Xiaomi can stay one step ahead of Samsung?

Results

1,421 readers voted in our poll to express their opinion on Xiaomi’s ability to maintain the top spot among smartphone vendors. 66.6% of voters have full confidence in the company and believe it will retain its winning title, leaving Samsung behind. However, 33.3% of those polled are skeptical and believe that the Chinese OEM will not be able to maintain its lead over Samsung.

One potential pitfall for Xiaomi raised by some readers is that the brand’s phones are not supported by software updates for the same amount of time as Samsung devices. Some users also bemoaned the lack of availability of Xiaomi in the United States.

Your comments

Gaylord Foacker: Samsung continues to drop the ball lately with overpriced phones, cheaper material choices for cheaper units, fragile or brittle foldables, and everything but their 2nd largest series – the Note line. If Xiaomi were readily available as an offering from Samsung in the US, the margin would be even greater.

Stanley Kubrick: If Xiaomi brought their phones to the US for the same price as they are today … then yes I think they could easily stay on top … for a few years until they get cocky like EVERYONE companies when they are too successful. . Then another company will take their place.

Patrick Mac: There’s the excitement of getting an affordable Xiaomi device with vivid MIUI and then there’s this “what’s next?” »Sensation that comes after about 1 or 2 years of use. This is where Xiaomi really needs to improve. I switched from Xiaomi to Samsung because I needed the latest flagship, but spending over $ 1000 on Mi 11 Ultra just to get 2 years of software updates and a lower trade-in value didn’t sound like a good deal investment. Having said that, Xiaomi is a good brand and if they improved their user experience, they would widen the gap. The latest ranking was greatly influenced by new customers and to establish loyalty Xiaomi needs to do more to keep these customers coming back for the brand. Releasing devices with bugs and short software support can really hurt those numbers. On the other hand, extended software support, fine-grained software, and better trade-in deals can also lead to more numbers. Maybe they can also convince the people who have left to come back and make their first place more permanent.

Marshall: You only had to look at Samsung’s mid-rangers from 2018-19-20 to find out why Xiaomi ate so much of her lunch; there were too many tradeoffs, the construction was substandard, and the price was too high. In 21, Samsung has come to its senses a bit… its recent mid-range efforts have improved and are available at a price you might want to pay. Xiaomi would really benefit from an increased North American presence… something to really dump garbage like those Doogees and Blackviews. While Xiaomi is able to stay ahead, this is anything but a certainty.

Cosmo Benis: I have owned 3 Xiaomi phones and love what Xiaomi has to offer. The problem is that their US network tape support is lacking. When they start supporting all of the ATT and T-Mobile groups, they will storm the United States. I can not wait.

Flashing: Samsung has only to blame itself for losing first place. After Huawei’s ban, they became complacent, releasing bad mid-range phones that were overpriced. This opened the door for Xiaomi, Oppo and other Chinese companies. Samsung must wake up if it wants to stop its decline.

IS Money: By all means, Xiaomi (and its supporters) should be celebrating its victory (however short it may be), but you better believe that we Samsung lovers know it is going to drop very soon.

Joe Black: It’s certainly possible, but BBK and the “Huawei ban” upgrade attempts could catch up with Xiaomi pretty quickly.
