Apple seems to have cracked on the formula to make its smartphones popular again. According to information from Omdia analysts, the iPhone Xr was the best-selling smartphone in 2019. However, Xiaomi also managed to grab its place in the Top 10, something that was little expected.

Xiaomi’s appearance in the Top 10 best-selling smartphones
Xiaomi managed to enter the Top 10 with the sale of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. A mid-range smartphone that has been conquering markets where the value of the device is a priority.
