The smartphone world is dominated by three companies: Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi. The big three share more than half of the market. Little has changed in this situation in 2022 either, but there are noticeable shifts among the top 3.

The Xiaomi 13 has a lot to offer:

But that will change in a few weeks: the Galaxy S23 will be presented on February 1st.
