According to Strategy Analytics, Xiaomi was the world’s largest 5G Android smartphone brand in Q2 2022. However, only one phone from the company managed to be one of the top 3 best-selling Android 5G smartphones in China during the same period. Whereas, the remaining two were from OPPO and vivo respectively.
Strategy Analytics says that the less popular OPPO A53 5G was the best-selling 5G Android smartphone in China in the second quarter of 2021. For those unaware, this budget 5G handset made its debut way back in December 2020.
Further, the second best-selling model was the Redmi K40, followed by the iQOO 7 in the third position. These two mid-range phones are also known as flagship killers as they offer more for what they cost when compared to the competition.
Talking about the international availability of these devices, only the Redmi K40 can be purchased outside mainland China. This handset is known as Mi 11X in India and POCO F3 in the remaining global markets.
On the other hand, both the OPPO A53 5G and the iQOO 7 are exclusive to China. For those who are wondering about India, the iQOO 7 sold in that region is a rebranded iQOO Neo5.
