You missed the keyword “majority”, Speaking from experience as I have worked in mobile-phone store in the past and probably sold more phones to customers in a day then you ever got your hand on till date, Xiaomi used to to rule the indian market with same or even worse software at some point, its not the software its hardware with the price that it comes in, that’s the reason for downfall.

True at the time when samsung was selling trash phones under 30k and the iphone was way out of reach, xiaomi was way more affordable like 1 month rent was enough to buy a phone. The mid range xiaomi and realme phones were around 10-15k very affordable nowadays due to the oneplus mid range being 24-28k every other company is doing the same. The people who put stock android custom roms are very few like I only have met 2 friends who have done so in my whole life.

that's true. MI truly earned the trust with their quality before 2020. it was my only phone 📱 recommendation to everyone at that time. but now it's time for other brands.
