A popular example would be VW that owns Porsche, Audi, SEAT etc. Porsche - luxury sports. Audi - saloon/sedan mid luxury. SEAT - semis/lorries. It's to avoid confusion

[@wrong7495]

Realme is Oppo's answer to Redmi, in which it almost destroyed the Redmi series(I said almost because Realme 2 is the worst sequel to any phone ever), so, the company has to answer again, which is POCO, the direct equivalent of Oppo. And also, Poco literally copied what OnePlus' main factor, being available in almost every country. This makes Xiaomi's Mi series unrecognized, with it being only available at selected countries. If POCO will be available at the US, then OnePlus have finally a direct competition.

Your analysis is just MIND BLOWING. I think no one I repeat no one in the entire KZbin platform has ever seen the mobile phone market in this perspective. If I had to choose between POCO and OnePlus I would go with POCO because OPPO fooled people by projecting OnePlus as a startup and used it to justify the nonavailability of some key features in their phone.

[@muhammadfadhil6984]

So, where does VIVO fit into this?

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

First there was a company called Bubugao, who mainly does educational devices, then the CEO of Bubugao decided to make phones under its brand, and then when smart phones is a thing they make a new brand called VIVO, and then maybe they want to make a brand that sounds younger and thus there's OPPO. And now they also release new phones under the original Bubugao brand as well, which is of course called "educational cellphone".

[@stephensong6998]

vivo is now better than oppo on their new phone NEX, but decent chinese actually kind of hate both of these brands

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

Vivo and Oppo are basically two brands of the same company in some ways. They are hated because they put too much money into promoting their product and thus the price is more expensive than other brands when they both having the same spec. Kinda similar to apple tax except less people like them to begin with.

[@kimakhiangte]

You want to know why I love Xiaomi phone? They're both consumer as well as enthusiast phone. This is also one of the reason why it's very successful in India. Normal consumer buy for the price and enthusiasts buy it because they know community support will be good.

Nah man! The only reason Xiaomi is in hype here in India cus India is a price conscious market. Consumers will only be loyal to those companies which will provide bang for the buck.

[@wiwewawowu]

If you call MIUI a enthusiast software you're automatically wrong.

[@kimakhiangte]

André No Last Name I don't say MIUI is enthusiasts ROM, the phone itself is. Bootloader unlocking is easy and Kernel source is always released in a few days/months after their devices are released. These 2 are the most important things for enthusiasts phone.

Hmm, but Huawei also does heaps of other stuff, laptops, broadband, wearables, mifi/routers etc. Most are low margin though, apart from Laptops maybe. But Huawei has cut some of it's cost through using Kirin CPUs in their mobiles, so they can still compete quite agressive (see Honor Play)

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

Huawei and ZTE are two of the most important brand of cellphone network infrastructure device (for example, base stations) manufacturers in China, and they also take part in ITU standard making. Therefore Huawai's main profit source probably isn't consumer electronics at all.

@@CharllesC78 Those who need a reliable runaround.

[@drac124]

What Charlles Pereira Costa said the exactly the reason a company needs more than one brand. He probably had a bad experience with one car and now will never ever buy the brand again. That happens a lot with brands that tries to reach two different customers segment: cheap one and quality aware one. And the cheap one, sometimes can change to quality one, if he/she has real bad experience with a product. But the brand is burned. And lets face it: you can't provide very good quality with low price. The cheap customers are ok with more or less experience and those will never be converted to quality one in the same brand, because he will hate the brand, and pay more to move to another brand. That is 101 marketing strategy.

Huawei makes money NOT only from selling phones, they have a huge enterprise department with several products (network components, cloud solutions and other services)

[@vladdx]

Sorry but you are wrong there, Huawei makes a lot of money from network equipment and infrastructure.

[@_yuri]

that makes no sense. samsung too makes more from their display and memory business not to mention their shipbuilding and defence indistries and whay not. what he meant was huawei makes profits from phone. where as xiaomi wants to get people into the xiaomi ecosystem they are biggest iot company and they won't sell much so they get people by making the products accessible to everyone. they are like muji or uniqlo in that aspect.

[@vladdx]

pink Fungi And he didn't mention Samsung because he apparently doesn't consider it a competitor to Pocophone unlike Huawei/Honor. Also Samsung's shipbuilding business and everything outside electronics are separate businesses on their own which are owned by different people, while Huawei's networking is a division part of the same company.

[@FernandoAES]

The point is that Huawei has no/few means of earning profits AFTER the sale, while Xiomi has an entire business model just for that. Meaning that Huawei has to profit from the hardware sale, or make no profit at all. Sure they have other business, even more important ones, but if they were to sell phone at cost, it would just be as good as stopping selling phones altogether.

[@vladdx]

Fernando Álvares Similarly to Xiaomi, Huawei also makes money after sale with smartwatches, laptops and VR headsets which sell more due to brand recognition gained from phones. Anyways who cares where the money come from, the idea is, Huawei could easily match any price of Xiaomi and put them out of business if they want to by simply having more money reserves. The reason Huawei is not doing that right now is the fact that they are still growing strong in Europe and has much higher brand recognition than Xiaomi just like Samsung.

Honor sucks. The storage used is emmc in most cases, basically an SD card. No matter if it's a kirin 970 or what, with that slow storage even 6gb of ram won't help you. Xiaomi and other brands might use snapdragon 660 but the storage is fast at least. If you like EMUI, just get a p10 or p20

[@jaseaquino]

In my country (Philippines), Huawei also sell some Honor phones offline as well as Xiaomi's Pocophone (via Mi Authorized Store)

6:11 i find it hard that the Poco F1 kept it's perfomance while the oneplus did slow down in peformance considering the amount of heat that creates especially with 6 cyles
