Conclusion

The beginning of a new decade of the 21st century in the smartphone market was marked by the complete dominance of the Chinese manufacturer of mobile devices Xiaomi. The number of only six brands of gadgets sold by this company in January-February 2020 amounted to 44,384 handsets, which clearly demonstrates the popularity and accessibility of the brand in the middle price segment up to 30 thousand rubles. The presented customer reviews also testify to the worthy parameters of these models.

With such a rapid pace of expansion of the Chinese, the devices of the South Korean giant Samsung Galaxy A50 and A51, of which 14,625 handsets were sold in total, may generally leave the TOP-10 smartphones at a price of 30 thousand rubles for middle-class buyers.

However, the industrial decline in the PRC and the temporary reduction in trade with China are becoming a deterrent. American and European manufacturers got the opportunity to break into the Russian market of mobile gadgets. The conclusion about whether novelties of non-Chinese origin will be able to take advantage of the given chance can be made soon.
