Xiaomi slips to 5th place, hopefully they now address the ads issues on MIUI and inferior hardware issues. Recently faced dead phone issues in Redmi Note 10 and Poco X3 pro. 8k was asked for motherboard replacement even phone was under warranty and blamed us for water reasons while there has been so many such issues with Poco phone lately

I still see so many elderly people using Samsung as they find it very easy to use. They usually use low-end devices which comes with the OneUI core version with basic features only.
