Xiaomi overtakes Apple and becomes the second largest cell phone maker in the world, who will go to this Chinese technology giant? And yet, apparently the rivalry between Xiaomi x Apple is far from over, and the fans of the Chinese company have one more reason to celebrate.
But it is also worth mentioning who occupies the first place as the largest cell phone manufacturer in the world. It's nothing more and nothing less than the Samsung, which by the way is known to most Brazilians longer than Xiaomi and Apple.
However, it is worth remembering that the iPhone 13 is launched in September, a great opportunity for Apple to turn this game around and return to second place.

Xiaomi cell phones have become a phenomenon in Latin America
Do you know what was one of the factors that helped Xiaomi to overtake Apple and become the second largest cell phone manufacturer in the world? It was its great success in Latin America, as according to experts, the Chinese giant had an increase of 300% in sales in this region.
Remembering that it had an increase in its sales in other regions of the planet, but nothing as alarming as in Latin America. In the African region, it had an increase of around 150% in sales, while in Europe it was a little lower, around 50%.
As we know, Brazil is considered a Latin American country, and the growth of this company in our territory is notorious. And yet, here in the city where I live, practically all the new cell phones that people are buying are from Xiaomi, most are from the Redmi line.
The 5 Biggest Cell Phone Manufacturers in the World
We already know that Xiomi and Apple are in the top 5 of the largest cell phone manufacturers in the world, but do you know which ones are the rest? Well, above I said that Samsung is the leader in this segment, the other two are Oppo and Vivo.
So the Top 5 of the biggest cell phone manufacturers in the world was in the following order:
| Company | Market share (2nd quarter 2021) | annual growth |
| Samsung | 19% | +15% |
| Xiaomi | 17% | +83% |
| apple | 14% | +1% |
| Oppo | 10% | +28% |
| Alive | 10% | +27% |
An important detail that we must emphasize in this Top 5 is the participation of Chinese companies, there are three in total (Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo). With this, we realize that China is increasingly becoming strong in the technology sector around the world, especially when we talk about cell phones.
Remembering that only 2% separates Xiaomi from Samsung in this sector of companies that manufacture the most cell phones and sell them all over the world. In other words, if the Chinese giant maintains its annual growth, it will only be a matter of time before it takes the first place.
But what about you, tell me here in the comments what you think about this frightening growth of China in the technological trade around the world. Anyway, if you liked the content you read here, I ask you to share it with all your friends and on all your Social Networks.
