The IDC report reveals that Xiaomi has a year-over-year growth of 86.6% with a 10.3% Q2 market share.
Meanwhile, Canalys expressed that the Chinese company is now transforming its business model from challenger to incumbent. The next goal is to displace Samsung, the current top smartphone company.

According to Counterpoint, Xiaomi records a quarter-on-quarter growth of 8%, while its shipments grew by 98% year-on-year. The strong demand for Redmi 9, Note 9, Note 10 series, and Mi 11 series was the biggest driver for this growth.
