Smartphones are often discussed in controlled environments—perfect lighting, clean benchmarks, ideal conditions. Real life rarely looks like that, especially outside controlled demos and reviews. Days overlap, plans shift, and devices are expected to work quietly in the background without constant care.
That expectation clearly resonated with consumers. On its first day of sale, Xiaomi recorded a 137% increase in units sold versus the previous generation, underscoring strong real-world demand rather than lab-driven hype.
