Today, in San Francisco, Xiaomi held their first US-based fireside chat. Xiaomi talked to us about the history of the company, which was founded in April 2010. Also about their software, MIUI. Which is updated weekly, and they have over 224 updates over the life of MIUI (from 2010 til now). MIUI and Xiaomi is super popular in China and other parts of the world. MIUI gets a ton of new features each week, including auto upload that’s coming in this upcoming week.
Xiaomi has 5 of the most popular Android smartphones that are activated. That’s 5 out of the top 8. Pretty crazy, right? Xiaomi also is proud to say that their users spend more time in apps than Samsung and Apple users. Which is quite a feat, especially considering how many apps Apple has in the App Store.
When it comes to building the hardware, Xiaomi wanted to build high-performance hardware, with no compromises. Mi2 was the world’s first Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor smartphone. Mi3 was the first to have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. Mi Note was almost the first to launch with the Snapdragon 810, but the LG G Flex 2 beat them. Redmi is high-performance, but Xiaomi wants to keep it under 1000 RMB. The Redmi 2 is using the Snapdragon 410, along with a 8MP camera. It’s a decent smartphone that’s going for 699 RMB (or about $95). Components get cheaper over time, thus allowing Xiaomi to sell products cheaper and cheaper.
Xiaomi is huge on social media, for the Mi 4, they had over 4.89 billion views on Weibo (which is basically China’s version of Twitter). When it comes to “ads” on Weibo, they got over 2 million shares in just 24 hours for the Xiaomi Mi 4. Pretty amazing.
Xiaomi is #1 in TV’s tablets, smartphones and power bank categories. Which is pretty crazy.
