Xiaomi Maintains Market Lead in India in Q1 2018, Huawei Joins Top Five Vendors

Xiaomi‘s exploit in India last year is still very fresh in our memories. The company dethroned Samsung in the fourth quarter of the year to emerge as the market leader in India. The Chinese tech giant seems to have consolidated on its lead in the first quarter of 2018. A recent report by Counterpoint Research has shown that Xiaomi secured a 31.1% share of the smartphone market in India in terms of shipment.

This is a leap from the 25% market share which the company achieved in Q4 2017. The report attributed Xiaomi’s success to a rise in the offline market as well as consolidating on its online channel. The company was able to record a 57% share in the online segment. Out of the Mi products, the Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro were the most popular models. That isn’t a surprise due to the fact that both models.

Xiaomi is followed by Samsung in India with its market share growing from 23% in Q4 2017 to 26.2% in Q1 2018 but that still wasn’t enough to match Xiaomi’s performance. Samsung released two of its flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S9 and S9+, in Q1 2018, but its growth was largely driven by launches in the budget segment which includes the Galaxy J7 NXT and J2 (2017).

The top 5 OEMs in the Indian market got a refreshing outlook, with Huawei replacing Lenovo in the top 5 smartphone vendors list. Huawei which recently commenced a major push for the market recorded a 3.4% share volume. The growth is attributed to the positive response which the Honor 9 Lite and Honor 7x received. Other brands on the top 5 list include Vivo and OPPO which occupied the third and fourth spots. This is despite a slump in the market share of both BBK subsidiaries in India. Vivo’s market share was 5.8%, down from 6% in Q4 2017 while Oppo’s market share also fell from 6% in Q4 2017 to 5.6% in the latest quarter.

Mi Love: Indonesian Couple Names Their Daughter “Xiaomi”

Xiaomi‘s fan base is sweeping rapidly through the whole of Asia, America, Europe and even Africa. This is evident in the large reception which greets the opening of a new Mi store in any of the countries in these regions. Globally, the fan base on the Mi Forum has seen an exponential increase over the years. Some of the fans have different ways of showing their love for the Mi brand. However, we don’t think we have seen any display of Mi love which compares to what a couple in Indonesia did by naming their child Xiaomi.Xiaomi-logo-featured

We are not sure if they even know the right pronunciation of the word or its meaning but as a manifestation of their love for the innovative Mi brand, they gave their daughter who was born in August 2017, the name. Don’t think this is another hype, the disclosure was made by XIaomi’s global VP Wang Xang and he shared a picture of the child’s birth certificate along with the news. The identity of the couple was also revealed as Fredi Yana (27) and Delima (25), residents of Abungjayo Village, Abung Selatan, North Lapung. The father, Fredi is said to have been a huge fan of the Mi brand since 2016. Coincidentally, the name Xiaomi means Small Rice in Mandarin and rice is the staple food of most Indonesian families.

Sino Market Research Releases Q1 2018 Sales Report For China: OPPO On top!

Research firm Sino market research has released its sales estimation for Q1 2018 for China’s smartphone market. The report shows BBK subsidiary company OPPO has once again mounted a comeback to the top spot. OPO grabbed the most market share to emerge as the number one brand for the first quarter of 2018. The report also ranked the top six contenders to be OPPO, Vivo, Apple, Huawei, Honor and Xiaomi.

The first quarter is usually a quiet time for OEMs since a number of the phones were launched in March when the first quarter was almost wrapping up. OPPO had released its OPPO R15 smartphone quite early and that could have impacted on  its Q1 sales. Vivo also has a couple of models out in Q1.

OPPO shipped a total of 18.52 million units in the first three months of the year while Vivo followed closely with 17.34 million units. Apple had a promising start to the year in the World’s largest mobile phone market with a total Q1 shipment of 16.8 million units. Chinese tech giant and market leader, Huawei shipped 14.42 million units and its Honor brand had a total shipment of 14 million units. Xaomi completed the top 6 list with a total shipment of 12.37 million. Other brands on the list include Meizu at number 7 with 3.91 million shipments, Gionee at number 8 with 2.39 shipments while Samsung is at number 9 with a mere 2.14 million shipments.

However, these are just numbers, Apple is number one in terms of gross revenue due to its high unit price point. Apple is followed by OPPO, Huawei, Vivo and Honor. For online sales, Honor topped while Xioami is second, Apple is third, Huawei fourth and Meizu completes the top 5. Honor’s online sales were pegged at 8.954 billion Yuan, only lower than Apple’s. Nevertheless, with an increase in the number of phones released this second quarter, there is likely going to be a major change in the ranking for the second quarter.

The translated text that accompanies the image on Weibo states that it has a transparent appeal and offers good hands-on experience.

First Meizu 15 Camera Samples Are Here & They Are Pretty Good!

Meizu announced the Meizu 15, 15 Plus and M15 models on Sunday and they feature powerful specs and an impressive design. However one of the most important features of any smartphone is its camera and in this article, we are going to focus on its rear dual cameras. We have the Meizu 15 with us right now and its already going through our review process. You can check out our hands on with the device here.

The Meizu 15 comes with a 12MP IMX380 1.55um primary sensor along with a 20MP IMX350 secondary sensor for 3x lossless zoom. Other features of the camera include 4-axis OIS, multi-frame synthesis tech for better low-light shots, scene recognition, and panorama mode. The front camera is a 20MP sensor with portrait mode.

We spent a few hours with the Meizu 15’s camera and so far, it has managed to impress us. The saturation levels are good and hence the colors pop out well, daylight pictures have good clarity and details, and the camera app manages to focus on the objects pretty quickly.

Low light photos are also good. The multi-frame synthesis technology kicks in as soon as the lighting conditions become dull and the resulting images are bright, with good saturation levels. We did find a bit of noise when the light was really low, for example, in the image above, it was nearly midnight and the only light available was via the lanterns (it was cloudy with no moonlight) that were lit up. Still, the colors and the overall photo came out quite decent. It does look a bit unclear, but that’s probably because we were still in Wuzen and were in a bit of a hurry to get a few quick samples. But things are much clearer when you take your time and shoot an image patiently, like in the image down below.

Night Photography from Meizu 15

The Meizu 15’s camera managed to capture this image above pretty well. You might have seen the same scene from other cameras, so you’d know what I’m talking about here. For example, this same view taken at night from the Mi Mix 2S is down below. The Mi Mix 2S is definitely brighter, which is clearly visible from the lit up parking lot, but the Meizu 15 seems to be slightly sharper. The time at which the two pictures were taken are a bit different, but it should give a fair idea about their low light shooting capabilities.

One interesting thing about the Meizu 15’s camera app is that at extremely low light images, the flash pops up even when you have turned it off. For example, in the below image of the book shelf, we had switched off the lights in the room, which means it was pitch dark. Considering the lack of light, Meizu 15’s camera turned on the flash to ensure that we got some details. The resulting image looks pretty good.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t sunny in Wuzen, China when we took the phone out for samples. That’s why you won’t find any brightly lit samples or even ones where we can check out the phone’s dynamic range prowess. But we do have the phone with us right now, which means a thorough camera review is underway. Meanwhile, you can check out the rest of the samples from the Meizu 15’s camera down below.
