Xiaomi has revealed its plan of unveiling about a dozen new smartphones with 5G next year. With the company fearing that 4G just won’t be competitive, its plan includes both flagships and mid-rangers.
The 2020 company plan was revealed at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, China by Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun. He also urged a faster 5G expansion from the telecoms.
Locally, the share of the company has been steadily dropping. Its Q2 share this year was at 11.8% from 13.9% a year prior. The drop in shares hasn’t stopped the company though as it’s in fact, struggling to meet the demand for Mi 9 Pro 5G.

Xiaomi has seen a steady rise in Europe with a nearly 9.5% market share compared last year’s 6.5%, making it one of the fastest-growing phone brands.
“People in the industry fear that next year 4G models won’t sell”, Lei said, quoted by Reuters.
With over 10 5G-enabled phones from Xiaomi, this could push other smartphone companies to do the same. Is 2020 the year of 5G?
Ram found his love and appreciation for writing in 2015 having started in the gaming and esports sphere for GG Network. He would then transition to focus more on the world of tech which has also began his journey into learning more about this world. That said though, he still has the mentality of "as long as it works" for his personal gadgets.
