These China phones are much more popular

Smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Xiaomi are facing more and more competition from Chinese smartphone manufacturers who can offer even cheaper prices and are thus gaining market share.

Samsung and Xiaomi can’t compete in India

After China, India is the second largest smartphone market in the world. Very cheap Android phones are particularly popular there and it is a growth market because many people do not yet own a smartphone. All mobile phone manufacturers want to gain market share there. Xiaomi has managed to do this and can be found there in the first place. However, compared to the same quarter last year, the company has lost 28.2 percent of its market share and is only just at the top. Realme, on the other hand, is the new smartphone favorite there:

Realme in particular, but also Vivo, have taken over what Xiaomi has lost in terms of shares. Samsung fell to fourth place. Oppo ends up in fifth place. Realme could be at the top as early as the next quarter, if growth there continues. But why Xiaomi crashed so badly cannot be fully understood. After all, this Chinese company also offers cheap Android smartphones. Maybe Realme has the better offer after all.

Chinese smartphone manufacturers have a problem

It won’t be that easy for Chinese manufacturers in India, because the government is planning to ban cheap Chinese cell phones that cost less than the equivalent of 150 euros. The reason is tensions between the two countries and India would focus on its own manufacturers of Android smartphones, who would be exempt from this restriction. In Germany and Europe, the Chinese manufacturers don’t have it that easy anymore. That’s why markets like India are so important.
