Xiaomi Dethrones Apple As The World's #2 Smartphone Maker

Could the bedrock of the smartphone market be moving before our very eyes?  

A new report from market research firm Canalys last week suggests that could be the case.

The report revealed that Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi had surpassed Apple in the second quarter of 2021 to become the world's number two smartphone maker, according to Reuters. The report measures the number of handsets that manufacturers sell to distributors. 

It was the first time Xiaomi took the second place spot, with the company getting 17% of worldwide smartphone shipments, up from 3% the previous quarter.

The market for global smartphone shipments was up 12% in the second quarter, with Samsung leading the charge at 19% per share and Apple in third place at 14% per share. Chinese smartphone makers Oppo and Vivo had 10% each. 

Xiaomi phones are about 40% tp 75% cheaper than its Samsung and Apple rivals, according to Canalys Research Manager Ben Stanton. The company now has its sights on prioritizing its high-end devices. 

Shipments for Xiaomi were up 300% in Latin America, 150% in Africa and 50% in Western Europe, according to the report. 

Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, called it an "important milestone in Xiaomi's history."

"Notwithstanding the celebrations now, I want to make sure we can maintain our second place steadily and firmly in the future," he wrote in a letter to employees last week. 

The company's stock was up about 5% on Friday.

Misinformation is driving this mania. You have leftwing panicmongers like MSNBC’s O’Donnell predicting ‘millions’ will die if churches are ‘packed’ on Easter. Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates. By Madeline Osburn, The Federalist, March 25, 2020 As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis.

Certain people made billions from 9/11, it looks like many more bosses were given a heads-up just before Covid-19 exploded! Why Did Hundreds Of CEOs Resign Just Before The World Started Going Absolutely Crazy? In the months prior to the most ferocious stock market crash in history and the eruption of the biggest public health crisis of our generation, we witnessed the biggest exodus of corporate CEOs that we have ever seen. And as you will see below, corporate insiders also sold off billions of dollars worth of shares in their own companies just before the stock market imploded. In life, timing can be everything, and sometimes people simply get lucky. But it does seem odd that so many among the corporate elite would be so exceedingly “lucky” all at the same time? One financial publication is using the phrase “the great CEO exodus” to describe the phenomenon that we have been witnessing. It all started last year when chief executives started resigning in numbers, unlike anything th...
