The latest one to follow is the Xiaomi Mi A1 that runs stock Android 7.0 Nougat as a part of Google’s Android One program. Interestingly, the Mi A1 debuted in India in early September and is available for sale in India. It is speculated that Xiaomi might have managed to ship a good number of Mi A1 units out of the total Xiaomi smartphone units shipped last month.

Another reason attributed to the Xiaomi unbeatable feat is the offline expansion of its business.
