Can Xiaomi’s global laptop expansion challenge Huawei’s dominance?

26 November 2025 at 10:00

With the PC industry going towards AI-integrated hardware and cross-device ecosystems, the strategic question is whether Xiaomi will expand its laptop portfolio into global markets. Ongoing changes in supply chain stability, the operating system of choice, and evolving consumer expectations have reconfigured the competitive landscape among major Chinese brands. For readers already aware of Xiaomi’s ecosystem through products such as the Xiaomi Pad 6Xiaomi Pad 7, or through in-depth reports on HyperOS Connect, this report provides a clear and structured view on whether Xiaomi is well-positioned to compete against Huawei in the global laptop category.

Xiaomi’s Strategic Position in the Global PC Market

These are a number of strong advantages that Xiaomi holds in the high-performance laptop space. The company continues to have access to the latest Intel and Qualcomm platforms, without the geopolitical restrictions imposed against Huawei. Consequently, this places Xiaomi in a position to provide modern technologies such as the latest Intel Core Ultra platform with advanced NPUs for AI workloads. This level of flexibility enhances Xiaomi’s competitiveness in regions where Windows-based systems continue to dominate consumer and enterprise purchasing behavior.

At the same time, Huawei remains hamstrung by international trade restrictions that limit its supply of x86 processors and the licensing of Windows. Its pivot to HarmonyOS-based laptops secures long-term independence, but global customers may face software incompatibility issues, especially outside of China, where Google Mobile Services remain vital.

Hardware Competitiveness

More recently, Xiaomi has featured aluminum unibody casings in its latest notebooks, and high-capacity batteries with high refresh rate displays make them ideal for those users who fall into hybrid categories that amalgamate productivity with high levels of entertainment or light gaming workloads. Huawei’s MateBook series still stands out in color accuracy, build quality, and 3:2 display ratios, but the over-reliance on previous-generation processors in international markets will very much create performance gaps in AI-focused tasks.

Ecosystem Integration: HyperOS Connect vs. Huawei Super Device

Ecosystem synchronization has become a defining metric for purchasing decisions in the premium laptop segments. Huawei’s Super Device architecture remains one of the most sophisticated multi-device solutions available on the market, offering seamless cross-screen control, distributed hardware sharing, and low latency communication. This structure is widely respected in the domestic Chinese market, where HarmonyOS is deeply integrated into daily workflow.

It’s also important to note that Xiaomi’s HyperOS Connect is very rapidly evolving and stands to gain from being closely tied to Google services: the system allows for clipboard transfer, screen casting, notification syncing, and camera sharing across Xiaomi phones, tablets, and upcoming laptop models. You may update Xiaomi’s ecosystem applications through HyperOSUpdates.com or our MemeOS Enhancer app on the Play Store, which would also unlock additional system-level capabilities.

Potential for Consumer Acceptance

With Google services on board, in addition to being familiar with Android, Xiaomi laptops could be more accessible than Huawei’s HarmonyOS-based systems for global users. It would mean lowering the transition barriers for international consumers who rely daily on Gmail, Google Photos, Maps, and other services from Google. Xiaomi, therefore, might benefit from broader retail availability in Europe, among emerging markets, where Huawei has operational constraints.

Can Xiaomi Realistically Compete with Huawei Globally?

With a clear technical lead in CPU generation, AI processing capability, and software compatibility, Xiaomi laptops are well-positioned to find global favor. Competitive pricing—commonly 30–40% below comparable Huawei models—further strengthens Xiaomi’s hand. Yet to be surmounted are the more fundamental issues of after-sales service, warranty infrastructure, and long-term reliability expectations from Western consumers.

Huawei has maintained strong brand loyalty within key markets due to its premium designs and long-term ecosystem maturity, along with a steady presence in enterprise deployments. Xiaomi’s mix of advanced hardware, approachable software, and aggressive pricing strategies could position it as a serious global competitor-if the company chooses to expand its laptop lineup internationally.

Xiaomi has the required technological foundation and ecosystem maturity to take on Huawei in the laptop business within global markets. While Huawei continues with strong innovation capabilities and a refined ecosystem, Xiaomi’s lack of geopolitical restrictions opens up its access to state-of-the-art processors, thus making it competitive. Its success in such an expansion will come down to whether Xiaomi can scale after-sales service operations to further strengthen a reliable global support network.

TV market drops 12.2% in Q3 2025 as global demand shifts

25 November 2025 at 19:46

According to a new report from Omdia, global TV shipments are forecasted to reach 52.5 million units in Q3 2025 – a minor 0.6% year-on-year decline. However, in a vastly different trend, the Chinese market recorded a 12.2% year-on-year drop in the same quarter. This development marks a clear regional divergence and underlines the shifting TV consumption patterns across the globe.

Why China’s TV Shipments Declined

China’s sharp decline is related to the rapid growth last year due to government subsidy programs. These subsidies accelerated TV upgrades, particularly in mainstream families, and effectively brought forward future demand. Since most users have completed their upgrades, Q3 2025 entered a natural cooling phase.

With demand normalization, manufacturers like the major Xiaomi TV segments saw measurable shipment volume slowdowns as the domestic market adjusted to last year’s surge.

Diverging Trends Emerge in Global Markets

While China contracted, the other regions put in a far more balanced performance. North America registered a 2.3% year-on-year increase, reflecting stable consumer confidence in the region. The Asian and Oceanian markets proved even stronger, growing 7.7% year-on-year.

These markets have now become strategic pillars for Chinese brands in search of new growth opportunities. With the weakening domestic momentum, companies are focusing on neighboring regions where the smart TV penetration continues to rise.

Impact on Large-Screen TV Categories

The slowdown in China directly weighed on large-format television shipments. Omdia’s data has the 80-inch and above category seeing its quarterly growth rate fall from more than 40% last year to 23.1%. Similarly, the segment of 70–79 inches cooled to 1.1%, reflecting the broader market saturation. This indicates that even the high-end segments, which always remained resilient due to strong premium consumers, are also starting to stabilize. For brands planning future display innovations—such as Xiaomi’s premium TV lineup—recalibration in the market is going to be key to product positioning.

Smart ring shipments will pass 4 million in 2025

25 November 2025 at 15:42

According to new data from research firm Omdia, the global smart ring market has now entered its strongest growth phase. The wearable segment, which has been gradually expanding over the past few years, is now showing measurable momentum. In 2023, smart ring shipments reached 850,000 units, but then sharply rose to 1.8 million units in 2024. In 2025, the first half alone saw shipments of 1.6 million units with full-year shipment estimates poised to top 4 million units.

This rapid trend upward points to the compact health-tracking device’s growing relevance in the broader wearable ecosystem. For users exploring Xiaomi’s wearables landscape, categories ranging from the Xiaomi Band 9 to the HyperOS health ecosystem continue their evolution in line with this global shift.

Market Leadership and Competitive Landscape

Omdia’s latest report shows a few key brands currently dominating the smart ring sector. Before looking at individual players, it has to be seen that smart rings are gaining attention due to their offering of precise health monitoring in a minimal form factor, with their appeal particularly strong among consumers looking for an alternative to traditional wrist-based wearables.

Leading Brands

Oura stays clear at the top, owning 74% of total shipments during the first half of 2025, while Ultrahuman and Samsung are tied with a 9% market share each, and RingConn contributes 5% to the overall market. The remaining share comes from various other companies: Circular, Noise, boAt, and Zepp. These brands together contribute to the increasing diversity of the segment by offering users different design and functionality options.

Growing Consumer Demand for Compact Health Solutions

Indeed, smart rings have become one of the fastest-growing device categories in the wearable industry, driven by two major factors: growing interest among consumers in simplified health-tracking solutions and manufacturers’ efforts toward diversified product strategies. The compact, discreet nature of smart rings suits tech enthusiasts and health-oriented users who appreciate convenience yet do not want to sacrifice functionality.

A survey in 2025 pointed out an interesting fact: 43% of the respondents were not in possession of any wearable wristband, while 51% reported having no intention of buying such a gadget. Several participants reported discomfort sleeping with watches or fitness bands and frequent charging as the main reasons. Smart rings are a comfortable and unobtrusive alternative that could achieve great opportunities to reach new user groups and expand the global wearable ecosystem.

The Future Impact on the Wearable Ecosystem

As interest continues to rise, smart rings may turn into one of the main drivers of the wearables market. Their potential to integrate well with existing platforms—including wider health data frameworks like Xiaomi’s HyperConnect services—means that they are well-placed for continued expansion. With full-year shipments likely to top 4 million units in 2025, the category remains poised for the next breakthroughs in miniaturized sensor tech, energy efficiency, and ecosystem compatibility.

China’s new power bank rules will change the entire industry

25 November 2025 at 13:45

According to recent reports from the industry, China is getting ready to impose the most stringent safety standards ever used on portable power banks. The MIIT organized a series of technical seminars in October and November to complete the “Technical Specification for Safety of Portable Power Banks” expected to replace the current 3C certification. These regulations will affect major manufacturers, including brands known for advanced battery technology such as Xiaomi. For readers who want to know more about related standards and coming smart device trends, you may also refer to internal coverage: Xiaomi HyperOS and Xiaomi Battery Safety technologies.

The New National Standard and Its Scope

The upcoming specification is an overall upgrading of the previous national standard, covering the whole product chain of device structure, circuit board to battery cell. MIIT gathered nearly 300 industry-chain enterprises, from chip suppliers to cell manufacturers, to assess feasibility. Their input finally formed the draft, which is expected to be announced this December, published officially in February 2026, and fully implemented from June 2026.

According to industry representatives, these rules will substantially raise the barrier to entry. It is reported that many factories currently lack the capability to meet the new requirements, which naturally means that the market will filter out the low-quality production.

pOWERBANK RULES 1 pOWERBANK RULES 2

Major Changes Introduced by the New Rules

Some of the key improvements the new standard introduces aim at enhancing transparency, consumer awareness, and overall battery safety. This direction goes hand in hand with Xiaomi’s long-standing focus on battery health technologies across power banks and smartphones.

Product-Level Revisions

The most evident change at the product level includes the recommended lifespan that needs to be printed on the casing of the device. Additionally, manufacturers need to include the full name of the OEM company. This modification will provide enhanced traceability and also make users aware of the time period for which the product is designed to function safely.

Transparency of Circuit Board

Another huge jump is the mandate that all power banks need to have an LCD display or an internet-connected companion app. These interfaces have to display vital information like battery health, cycle count, and overall condition. In other words, power banks are moving from being mostly opaque “black box” gadgets to transparent smart accessories, just like the smart power bank ecosystem that Xiaomi has recently introduced.

Battery Cell Safety Enhancements

The biggest technical upgrade comes to the battery cells. The new standard strengthens several critical tests:

  • Nail penetration safety verification
  • Thermal abuse test raised from 130°C/30 minutes to 135°C/60 minutes
  • Overcharge voltage limit increased to 1.4× rated voltage

These enhancements directly address the root causes of thermal runaway and safety events involving batteries. Manufacturers utilizing advanced cell technologies, such as those partnering with CATL or Sunwoda, should be able to make these improvements without significant hardship.

Impact on the Power Bank Industry

The MIIT estimates that close to 70% of existing production capacity may exit the market once the regulations take effect. Only manufacturers with strong R&D capability and high-quality supply chains will continue mass production.

These changes might create new opportunities for well-established technology brands in general, and Xiaomi in particular, as the company has earned a strong global reputation for safe, reliable power banks. Advanced smart power bank platforms might become a standard product category, not an optional premium feature.

Part A: Multiple Choice Questions Timeline of Implementation

  • December 2025: Public consultation
  • February 2026: Official publication
  • June 2026: Full enforcement, the 3C certification will become invalid

During the drafting stage, extensive experimental verification was conducted by institutions including the China Electronics Technology Standardization Institute, CATL, Sunwoda, Huawei Terminal, and others. The scientific basis of the new safety framework is supported by their findings.

Recommended Safe Service Life Markings

According to the new rules, power banks should clearly show the following phrase:

“Recommended safe service life is × years.”

Manufacturers may define the value based on their product characteristics. The example “5 years” shown in early illustrations is only a template.

Refined national standards by China mark a transformative step toward a safer, smarter, and more transparent portable power bank market. The transition of power banks from simple to intelligent, connected energy accessories is moving in the same direction of technology that Xiaomi has pursued in the smart hardware ecosystem. Such requirements are bound to uplift the quality of products while offering users more detailed and clear information about device condition and longevity.

Aluminium OS: Google’s plan to transform Android for PCs

25 November 2025 at 11:44

Google is officially accelerating one of its most significant platform shifts in its history. According to a new report from Android Authority, the company is pressing forward with a unified desktop system codenamed “Aluminium OS,” in a move that looks to bring together the best of ChromeOS and Android into a single next-generation desktop platform. If successful, this could be just the strategy that gives them a real foothold against Windows and macOS-markets where Google has struggled to make any meaningful traction thus far.

For years, Android has had phenomenal success on phones, tablets, wearables, TVs, cars, and XR devices but none on traditional PCs. Similarly, while ChromeOS has enjoyed success in education markets, it has not yet reshaped the broader desktop landscape. Now, Google seems prepared to rewrite that history.

A Unified Google Desktop Platform Was a Long Time Coming

Rumors throughout the past year have suggested that Google wants to transform Android into a complete desktop-capable OS for better hardware utilization and to provide a more compelling PC experience. These rumors started to materialize during the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit in September, when Google confirmed that it was working with Qualcomm on a hybrid mobile-desktop computing platform running on next-generation AI technologies.

That announcement made it official: Android is coming to PCs.

“Aluminium OS” Confirmed Through Google Job Posting

A leak on Telegram from @FrostCore provided the first piece of actual evidence-a job listing from Google titled Senior Product Manager, Android, Laptops & Tablets-and pointed out the following:

24a03f07 785d 49f1 af1b 6d364ec64859

This marks the first time Google has publicly tied the Aluminium project codename directly to an Android desktop OS. Its naming also aligns with Google’s existing structure. The British spelling “Aluminium” mirrors Chromium, the open-source foundation of ChromeOS — suggesting a similar open framework, but built around Android rather than Chromium OS.

AI at the Core: Aluminium OS Will Be Powered by Gemini

Just like Android XR, Aluminium OS is “built around AI”, confirms Google. This means deep integration of:

  • Gemini large models
  • Assistenti virtuali
  • System-level AI features across the interface

During the Snapdragon Summit, Google’s SVP Rick Osterloh promised that Google would bring Gemini, advanced AI assistants, and the full Android app ecosystem to PCs, combining the fluidity of mobile with desktop utility. Aluminium OS seems to be the system in which all these promises will come true. Target Market: Not Just Budget Chromebooks Anymore Among the information provided in the job listing, one of the most important details is the range of devices Aluminium OS is targeting. Unlike ChromeOS, mainly dominating low-cost laptops, Google is preparing Aluminium OS for a full product spectrum, including:

  • Laptops
  • 2-in-1 convertibles Tablets
  • Small desktop units (Chromebox-style devices)

Even more interesting are the new product tiers mentioned:

  • AL Entry
  • AL Mass Premium
  • AL Premium

These categories suggest that Android PCs will span from affordable devices to full high-end models, meaning Aluminium OS is not a successor to ChromeOS — but a parallel platform** designed to coexist and compete across multiple price segments.

Will ChromeOS Be Replaced? Will Chromebooks Be Upgradable?

These are the big, unresolved questions. Google has not yet clarified:

  • The fate of the ChromeOS brand
  • Whether existing Chromebooks will get an Aluminium OS option
  • How Android and ChromeOS apps will coexist or merge
  • When Aluminium OS devices will launch

Judging by the scale of development and internal job postings, Aluminium OS is still very much in active development — although major reveals might only appear in 2025. A New Era for Google’s Desktop Strategy With Google now openly hiring for Aluminium OS and integrating AI at the deepest levels of Android, the company is clearly preparing for a unified, AI-driven desktop future. As more details emerge regarding the interface, ecosystem, and device partners, Aluminium OS could turn out to be one of Google’s most ambitious product shifts since creating ChromeOS.

Three Xiaomi gadgets I’d take to a deserted island

25 November 2025 at 02:48

Surviving on a deserted island involves making proper choices, especially considering you can only carry three items. Xiaomi’s vast ecosystem, known for durability and depth in engineering, provides several suitable tools for extreme isolation scenarios. This review considers Xiaomi’s multi-brand ecosystem with a focus on survival priorities: shelter, hydration, and signalling.

Strategic Criteria for Xiaomi Survival Gear Selection

Choosing the best Xiaomi ecosystem tools for survival involves understanding how each product supports essential physiological needs. Deserted island environments eliminate modern infrastructure, placing energy independence, structural manipulation, and water safety as primary concerns. The Xiaomi ecosystem-under the umbrella of its Mi Ecosystem program-bridges practical instruments designed to support long-term resilience in off-grid environments.

Core Requirements in Complete Isolation

Survival priorities follow a predictable hierarchy: maintaining body temperature, securing clean water, and creating reliable communication signals. In such conditions, tools have to be versatile, mechanically dependable, and capable of performing without sources of external power. Xiaomi’s ecosystem solutions-which integrate these needs through reinforced materials, multipurpose mechanisms, and user-controlled energy generation-just mirror the practical engineering philosophy of the brand.

1. Nextool Frigate 14-in-1 Survival Shovel

The foundational tool is the Nextool 14-in-1 Frigate Survival Shovel because it allows for manipulation of the physical environment with minimal energy loss. The aviation-grade aluminum shaft is highly rigid, hence capable of withstanding extreme mechanical loads without deforming. This structural integrity is quite important in clearing debris, building shelter, and preparing the ground for water drainage.

next kt5524det3 46525

Mechanical Versatility and Engineering

The head of the shovel is made of high-carbon stainless steel, which keeps structural balance in hardness and corrosion resistance. The multi-angle locking system supports the traditional shovel use, hoe-angle trenching, and hook-position pulling. These modes greatly reduce energy expenditure on works such as root cutting, digging foundations or reaching elevated branches.

Integrated Survival Sub-Tools

Inside the handle, there are secondary tools of great importance in isolated environments: a ferrocerium rod allows for dependable ignition at over 3,000°C, providing fire for warmth, cooking, and sterilization; an integrated saw allows for precise wood cutting; an integral high-frequency whistle improves audible signaling range; a liquid compass supports safe navigation in heavy foliage; and a reinforced tail cap acts as both breaker and food-processing tool.

(Note – This problem set requires a strong understanding of probability. For Part A, please list all the individual probabilities, and then calculate the resulting probability. For Part B, list all the different combinations possible with the given dice.)

2. Nextool 6-in-1 Emergency Radio(Leiyin Series)

Once physical safety is established, communication and illumination become key. The Nextool 6-in-1 Emergency Radio is designed for complete electrical independence. Its internal 4500mAh lithium-ion cell, comparable to the 21700 cells used in electric vehicles, can provide very long operating times. More importantly, the hand-crank dynamo makes infinite recharging potential possible, catering well to situations where complete darkness or heavy storms have set in.

Energy Architecture and Utility

This allows the radio to serve as an energy hub, combining battery storage, crank-generated power, and USB output to ensure access to continuous lighting, radio signals, or emergency charging for secondary electronics. This could be beneficial in a variety of long-term isolation scenarios in which conventional solar panels may be affected by weather or physical damage.

nextool 6 v 1 nudzove zariadenie

Access to information and signalling

It contains a visible emergency strobe, audible siren, and red laser indicator with good long-distance visibility; particularly effective at night or when in humid coastal air. FM/AM radio functionality provides situational awareness by allowing the reception of weather broadcasts or rescue signals. This information plays a very important psychological role by helping individuals maintain orientation and morale.

3. HuoHou Titanium Cooking Cup

Water safety determines the long-term viability on any deserted island. The HuoHou titanium cooking cup is selected because it provides one sure method to purify water: boiling. This is still considered the most valid method of sterilization. Food-grade titanium has several real advantages: low weight, extreme corrosion resistance, and chemical traces are absent. Thus, the cup is fit for daily use in both freshwater and seawater distillation setups.

A1b WeGVJoL. CR001431808 SR684386

Thermal Resistance and Food Preparation

The cup resists direct flame contact without structural distortion, thus supporting tasks such as boiling water, cooking of simple meals, or making herbal infusions. It further contributes to biological safety by reducing exposure to unpurified surface water sources. From a materials engineering perspective, titanium’s strength-to-weight ratio ensures long service life with minimal degradation.

Why These Three Xiaomi Tools Outperform Alternatives

While Xiaomi’s ecosystem also extends into solar panels, compact radios, and filtration devices, the selected trio provides a superior balance of durability, mechanical efficiency, and total energy independence. Each product supports a core survival function, respectively: environmental manipulation, long-term signalling capability, and water purification. Their combined roles address the three most critical risk categories for isolated environments, providing a complete, sustainable solution aligned with Xiaomi’s broader engineering philosophy.
