Xiaomi versus Infinix | Can Infinix compete with Xiaomi?

 

You've undoubtedly heard of Infinix mobiles, which are manufactured in Hong Kong and are owned by Transsion Holdings. The firm makes several decent low-cost cellphones. It can sometimes deliver hardware specifications that are superior to those of any smartphone in a certain price range. Xiaomi, on the other hand, is a Beijing-based business that makes a wide range of smartphones, from entry-level budget models to flagship and ultra-premium models. In terms of mid-range and flagship smartphones, Xiaomi is no match for Infinix. Xiaomi is obviously in the lead. But, when it comes to low-cost smartphones, will Infinix be able to compete with Xiaomi?

Is Infinix capable of defeating Xiaomi?

Both firms make reasonably priced cellphones. While Infinix smartphones are largely focused on hardware, Xiaomi focuses on the complete smartphone, which is one of the reasons for Xiaomi's enormous success. But the question is, can Infinix truly compete with Xiaomi? To be honest, it's not going to happen anytime soon. To compete with Xiaomi, Infinix must upgrade its devices in a variety of areas. Let's look at some of the reasons why Xiaomi is still ahead of Infinix.

Software

When we compare Xiaomi's MIUI to Infinix's XOS, for example, the MIUI wins by a wide margin. Even while MIUI isn't the best among inexpensive devices, it's better than XOS. Xiaomi's software support is also more promising than Infinix's. Xiaomi typically provides one or two major upgrades every year, as well as two or three years of security updates. Infinix, on the other hand, does not follow any such update policy; they sometimes roll out updates and sometimes do not.

After-sales services

Both firms fall short on after-sales support by a wide margin. However, in compared to Infinix, Xiaomi is regarded for providing better after-sales service. Xiaomi's brand value is also higher than Infinix's. Xiaomi also has a far larger number of service centres and offline presence than Infinix.

Hardware

Infinix occasionally surprises us by providing strong hardware at a very low price, but this is nothing new for Xiaomi. While the hardware on Infininx may be strong, they fail to optimise it adequately. Xiaomi outperforms Infinix in every areas, including cameras and software management. Also, Xiaomi smartphones are more dependable in the long run, perhaps not as much as other brands, but certainly better than Infinity.

Apart from that, there are other reasons why Infininx will not be able to catch up to Xiaomi very soon. Infinix, for example, does not have the same market penetration as Xiaomi; they are now confined to cheap and mid-range smartphones, and we have yet to see any flagship or higher mid-range handsets from the firm. In a few countries, though, Infinix has surpassed Xiaomi in terms of shipments. However, Xiaomi continues to outperform Infinix.
