The AliExpress Russia company presented the analytical service AliIndex, which shows the preferences of Russians on the online shopping platform for the first half of 2021. It will be updated twice a year, tracking consumer trends in Russian regions.
The most popular smartphones in the first half of this year among Russian AliExpress users are POCO X3, POCO M3, Redmi Note 9 and Redmi Note 10. All four models are owned by Xiaomi.
