That Xiaomi is a producer who has fallen in love with its products millions of users is not really a surprise, at least for us enthusiasts. However, most users still look distracted by smartphones from China and, considering the will not only of Xiaomi but also of other Chinese manufacturers to expand into the West, is by no means good news for them.
Well, through a reports drawn up by CNN (not really the latest arrival among the American newsrooms, it is hoped that even the skeptics we talked about before repent.) CNN, in no uncertain terms, announced that: "Xiaomi is the most important phone manufacturer you've ever heard of". This is not an easy statement to make, especially since the report comes from the United States, a giant house like Microsoft and Apple.
The report then also refers to the exceptional growth capacity that Xiaomi has had in just 5 years of life:
Xiaomi's products are so popular in China that it has become the third largest ecommerce firm there, just selling its own products. As 2014 closed, the company was valued at $ 45 billion, an increase in value of something like 18,000% since its first round of fund-raising. It is, by several metrics, the most valuable startup ever.
Prior to officially landing in Europe and the US with their smartphones, in addition to solving patent issues, Xiaomi will also have to solve the popularity issue. We are sure, however, that if it keeps the prices offered in China roughly, popularity for Xiaomi will come from.
