SHANGHAI - Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp reported a 36.7% rise in fourth-quarter net profit on Wednesday, just as its major Android rival fell out of the market.
Adjusted net profit for the quarter ending Dec. 31 rose to 3.2 billion yuan ($490.84 million), beating analyst expectations of 2.9 billion yuan.
Sales hit 70.5 billion yuan, up 24.8% year-on-year.
The results come as Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, the company's main rival, steadily retreats from the global smartphone market due to U.S.-led sanctions.
