2.3 Lineage POCO
A sub-brand originally focused on "flagship killers" (powerful performance at a low price). POCO divided:
- 🔥 POCO F: 8 models (Poco) F1 – Poco F5 Pro).

- 🎮 Black Shark 1 – Black Shark 5 RS (2018–2022 – 11 models.

Why Xiaomi has released so many models: 5 key reasons
The range grew from 6 models in 2011 to 165+ The 2020-2026 is not accidental:
- Xiaomi wants to close all price niches – from Redmi A2 for 8,000 ₽ Xiaomi 14 Ultra for $120,000 ₽.
- Regional features: Redmi Note 12 is sold in India 4G, And in Europe, only 5G-version.
- Competition with Samsung: To beat the Korean giant in sales, you need to offer more options
- Innovation testing: Models like the Mi Mix Fold 3 (folding) or Black Shark (gaming) help to practice new technologies.
- Partner Agreements: For example, Redmi Note 11R It was released exclusively by China Telecom.
However, this approach has a downside:
⚠️ Note: Due to the large number of models, Xiaomi often stops supporting software for older devices earlier than its competitors. For example, the Redmi Note 8 (2019) received the last update in 2022, while the Samsung Galaxy A50 (same year) still updated.
💡
If you want to upgrade long-term, choose flagship models (Xiaomi). 13T, Xiaomi 14 – they get software 1-2 years longer than Redmi or POCO.
