Xiaomi Plummets to “Others” in China Q1 2026 Smartphone Market Ten years after a previous market stumble, Xiaomi has once again fallen out of the top five in China’s domestic smartphone market, suffering a 35% year-over-year shipment drop to just 8.7 million units in Q1 2026. This dramatic decline is heavily attributed to skyrocketing global memory chip costs, which have crushed the profitability of Xiaomi’s budget-friendly Redmi sub-brand and forced the company into a strategic retreat to preserve margins. Unlike Apple, which used its pricing power to capture high-end demand, and Huawei, which aggressively subsidized its low-end devices, Xiaomi found itself squeezed from both sides, exposing the fragility of a high-end strategy that lacks supply chain moats.
