Xiaomi has placed third in the world in market share of smartphones, surpassing Apple for the first time in history.

As usual, the analyst company IDC has published its reports of the market shares in mobile phones so far this year, reflecting a great rise of Xiaomi along with a decline in Apple and a large decline in Huawei . The Chinese manufacturer that opened its doors quite recently, in 2010, has managed to gain a market share of no less than 13%, when last year at this point it was only 9%. This means going from selling 32. 7 to 46. 5 million smartphones in the same period, an increase quite remarkable.

The factors by which Xiaomi has risen to third place, snatching it from Apple, they are highly influenced by the crash of Huawei due to the tedious veto implemented by the US government. Huawei has fallen from 18. 6% to 14. 7% , of the that without a doubt Xiaomi has been able to take advantage of.

Its latest high-end smartphone, the Mi 10 T Pro, has acquired many looks and fans of the brand are waiting with what will happen to the Mi Mix range, of which Xiaomi has mentioned that they are waiting for a suitable candidate to the range, always influenced by innovative designs.

If this continues, soon Xiaomi will rise above the second position worldwide in market share of smartphones, overtaking Huawei soon. Meanwhile, Samsung will remain on pole at a more than considerable distance from its rivals.
