All of the other Chinese smartphone brands have benefited from Huawei's international absence, but Xiaomi is ahead of them all, and today's news confirm this fact yet again.
According to Canalys, in the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi was the second biggest smartphone maker globally in terms of sales.
As you can see, Samsung is still No.1 with 19% market share, although Xiaomi is really breathing down its neck at this point with its 17%.
If this growth continues at same speed, Xiaomi may overtake Samsung and become the world's No.1. Apple is at 14% currently, while Oppo and vivo each have 10% with great growth as well but nothing compares to Xiaomi's 83% over Q2 2020.
