Xingyu Yang, Country Manager of Xiaomi Malaysia, attributed the result to the brand’s focus on combining performance with accessible pricing. “We are truly grateful to our Malaysian customers for their ongoing confidence in Xiaomi. Being Malaysia’s leading smartphone vendor in the third quarter of 2026 reflects our continued efforts to deliver products that combine innovation, performance and exceptional value. Malaysia remains an important market for Xiaomi, and we are committed to making advanced technology more accessible to Malaysians.”
Throughout 2026, Xiaomi expanded its local smartphone portfolio across multiple segments. The flagship Xiaomi 17 Series brought the brand’s latest mobile imaging and performance advancements, while the Xiaomi 17T Series extended its premium range further. The Redmi Note 17 Series addressed mid-range consumers by offering a balance of features and value across different price points. Looking ahead, Xiaomi is preparing to launch the Xiaomi 18 Pro Series in Malaysia, which will feature the brand’s first-ever back display technology.
Beyond smartphones, Xiaomi has been expanding its AIoT ecosystem in Malaysia through the introduction of Mijia smart home products. Year-on-year growth figures from the brand show strong momentum in this category: smart air conditioners recorded 314% growth, air purifiers grew by 80%, and dehumidifiers rose by 75%. On the retail front, Xiaomi recently celebrated the opening of its 100th Xiaomi Store in Malaysia.
“With its latest market achievement, Xiaomi remains focused on strengthening its presence in Malaysia, expanding its product offerings and creating meaningful technology experiences for consumers nationwide,” the company said.
