Xiaomi the Biggest Winner for Snapdragon 8 Gen3? Data Reveals the Truth

In the Chinese market, Xiaomi has consistently been the brand with the highest shipment volume for Qualcomm's flagship processors. While this isn't universally accepted, real data from industry insider "Wisdom Chip Guide" has finally shed light on the situation.

Data shows that in terms of shipments for devices featuring the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile platform, OPPO's corresponding models have the lowest volume. OPPO, OnePlus, and realme collectively have six models on sale, with a sales duration of 36 weeks. In comparison, vivo has five corresponding models with a 40-week sales duration, 1.1 times longer than OPPO. Honor has four models with a 30-week sales duration, 1.3 times longer than OPPO.

The most striking figure is Xiaomi, which currently has six Snapdragon 8 Gen3 models on sale, 4.7 times more than OPPO, and with a sales duration of 42 weeks. This signifies that the combined shipment volume of OPPO, vivo, and Honor models with Snapdragon 8 Gen3 can't even match Xiaomi's, with a significant gap.

Xiaomi's high sales volume is primarily driven by the popularity of the Xiaomi 14 series. While they have six Snapdragon 8 Gen3 devices, it's clear that the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro are the true volume drivers.

It's important to note that vivo and OPPO offer comparable models primarily equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor. If we include shipments of Dimensity 9300 powered devices, Xiaomi's sales might fall behind vivo and OPPO.

Therefore, this data only compares shipments of devices with the same platform processor, not necessarily those in the same price range. However, it also clarifies why Xiaomi is the first to release devices with Qualcomm's latest processors they are the largest customer for Qualcomm's flagship processors in China.

It's highly likely that Xiaomi will be the first to globally release devices with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor, with an expected commercial launch before Singles' Day. While news about the Xiaomi 15 series is circulating, everything remains uncertain until the official release.

In conclusion, although vivo and OPPO lead in terms of overall smartphone market share, Xiaomi is undeniably the biggest winner when looking at Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor shipments. This showcases not only Xiaomi's influence in the high-end market but also its strong partnership with Qualcomm.
