Xiaomi Smart Phones Growing in Importance

What cell phone are you carrying around now?  An iPhone?  Android of some sort?  What will your next phone be?

How about a Xiaomi?

Maybe.

Here is a write-up on their latest phone.  Check out the headline:

Xiaomi’s Mi Note phablet outclasses the competition for half the price

Here is a snippet from the review:

Xiaomi (roughly pronounced "Shiao-Me") is probably the most important company in the smartphone industry right now. The upstart OEM is the number one vendor in the world's biggest smartphone market—China—where it makes five of the top eight models. Xiaomi saw 227 percent growth last year, and, despite only doing business in about six countries, it's currently battling for third place in worldwide share behind Samsung and Apple.

The company caught our attention last year, and when we reviewed its flagship, the Mi 4, we were expecting a cheap iPhone knockoff. However, we came away extremely impressed by the device—especially the build quality. That was a 5-inch device, but now Xiaomi is targeting the iPhone 6 Pluses and Galaxy Notes of the world with a high-end phablet, the Mi Note.

Happy Reading,
