Emir BardakçıBlogger DigitalChatStation revealed that competing smartphone manufacturers plan to adopt the highly successful launch schedule of the Xiaomi 17 series. Due to the massive market advantage Xiaomi gained last year, rivals will now release their standard and pro models in the fall, followed by ultra models in the winter. This shift shows how the industry closely watches Xiaomi flagship devices and adjusts business strategies to match their market performance. The remarkable sales figures in China completely changed the standard timeline for upcoming premium Android smartphones.
