Whether or not this sort of status can be reached by Xiaomi is unclear. There is little point arguing with how well the company has done until now. Not forgetting Xiaomi has recently entered six new markets including India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. Growth in these territories will certainly help to increase the already rising Xiaomi presence. However, now that Xiaomi are known to be a real contender with real future potential, all eyes will be on them. Success so far is great and making claims is fine. The test will be maintaining its presence and success. This will ultimately define its smartphone maker position.
