Xiaomi is continuing its rampant growth in the smartphone industry, with the China-based company building upon its presence in the lucrative Chinese smartphone market.
Huge Barra, Xiaomi's global vice president, is a believer of what the company could do, enough for him to make the jump in 2013 from Google to take the position in Xiaomi.
It would seem that Barra is not wrong in his decision. Xiaomi has been doing amazingly as a company, with the latest evidence of the company's growth presented by Barra through an image attached on a Twitter post.
"Of the 10 most actively used Android phones on Tencent in China, the top 9 are all Xiaomi," Barra said in the Twitter post.
The Tencent microblogging service, or Tencent Weibo as some users would refer to it, is basically the Chinese counterpart of Twitter. The service features many of the same capabilities of Twitter, with hundreds of millions of users utilizing Tencent's different communications products.
As such, it is remarkable to find out that the top nine devices that the most active users are utilizing to access Tencent's services are made by Xiaomi, showing the massive adoption of the company's devices in its home country.
The top Xiaomi device on Tencent is the Redmi 1s, followed by the Mi 3 and Mi 4. The last device on the top 10 list of most active Tencent Android users is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
The feat is definitely a massive one for Xiaomi, as the company has been able to become a pervasive brand in the lucrative but wild smartphone market of China.
However, Xiaomi was recently dethroned by fellow China-based company Huawei at the top of the Chinese smartphone market. This places intense pressure on Xiaomi to maintain its growth rate not just in China but more so in other parts of the world.
For the first time, Huawei became the top smartphone company in the Asian country, with third-quarter smartphone shipments increasing by 81 percent compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Xiaomi's smartphone's shipments for the third quarter, on the other hand, declined compared to the third quarter of last year, which is the first time that such a thing was experienced by Xiaomi.
