In the month of August, Xiaomi has won the title of the second largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, surpassing Apple and heading straight for Samsung.
The data collected by Counterpointresearch show a predominantly downward curve for Apple in 2024. Xiaomi, which has grown substantially after the first quarter, has taken advantage of this moment of weakness to regain second place in the rankings. Samsung remains at the top, with a fluctuating trend but far from problematic.
The data collected are prior to the presentation of the new iPhone 16which however stood out for sales performances well below expectations in relation to the Pro models.
