According to Liu Weibing, Xiaomi has surpassed the 10% mark for the first time. In just one year, the company managed to increase its share by 73%: in the third quarter of last year, it occupied only 6.5% of the market.
Next year Xiaomi is not going tobuild on what has been achieved and intend to further strengthen its position. The company's vice president emphasized that "good prices move people," perhaps hinting at a rivalry with Apple.
It is possible that already next year Xiaomi will be able to “move” its Apple competitor in the smartphone market.
