Abstract: Abstract This article takes the mobile phone business of Xiaomi Corporation as the research object. Through analyzing brand positioning, SWOT analysis and marketing strategies, it systematically studies the competitive situation and development path of Xiaomi Corporation’s mobile phone business in the smartphone market. The research finds that its dual-channel marketing strategy (both online and offline) and high cost-effectiveness have effectively supported market expansion and accumulated a large consumer base; policy aspects such as “trade-in for new devices” and “satellite communication” and the growth of high-end market consumption demands have provided development opportunities for it. These advantages have ensured that the market share of Xiaomi mobile phones is on the rise. However, Xiaomi mobile phones also face significant crises. They are confronted with technical pressure from high-end brands such as Huawei and Apple, as well as the diversion of market share from mid-to-low-end brands like OPPO. Xiaomi’s long-term focus on the low-end market has led to low gross profit margins and hindered the breakthrough to high-end markets; therefore, Xiaomi mobile phones need to enter the high-end market and further increase investment and research and development in the high-end sector. The conclusion of this article can provide strategic references for Xiaomi, helping it achieves a balance between the mid-to-low-end market and facilitating their transition to the high-end market.
