Xiaomi may not have been able to earn a spot among top five smartphone vendors worldwide, in terms of shipment, during the first quarter of 2016, but the company continues to reign on its own turf. In a recent research study by conducted by a Chinese firm, Xiaomi once again emerged as the largest smartphone maker with a record-breaking market share of 26 percent in China for the month of April. It is because of products like these that Xiaomi manages to capture the attention and the market share, in its dominant regions like China. This result was proudly shared on Weibo by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun.
Xiaomi managed to sell as many units as honor and LeEco combined and three times as many smartphones as Apple, Android Authority reported.
Xiaomi is followed by Honor with a market total share of 15.7 percent on the second position.
If you're wondering where Apple went, it comes in right after LeEco with 8.2% of the market share.
On number three, with a 10.5% market share is Letv, another Chinese brand that is becoming popular for introducing outstanding specs such as 6GB of RAM at prices that are hard for the competition to match. The country remains the largest market in the world for intelligent phones, but is in the midst of a slow down. What's even more shocking is the fact that Samsung hasn't been mentioned yet! Meanwhile, Samsung, the world's largest smartphone company, is amongst the least popular handset makers in China, with just 3.2% of the market. That said, the Others category is pretty big at 17.1%.
