Xiaomi

While not a household name in the US, Xiaomi sells more phones worldwide than anyone but Samsung and Apple. Unlike Huawei, it isn’t banned from selling phones in the US; it just doesn’t. That’s too bad because Xiaomi’s phones are rarely boring — Recent examples include foldables, phones that can charge at 200W, and one with a massive one-inch Sony image sensor. Beyond phones, Xiaomi makes TVs, air purifiers, smart home devices, fitness bands, and lighting products, among others.
