Xiaomi: Brand Overview
Xiaomi is a Chinese consumer electronics brand that sold its first smartphone in 2011. So, it's a pretty recent player in the smartphone game.

Besides smartphones, the company also sells tablets, flashlights, televisions, drones, fitness bands, TWS earbuds, Air purifiers, smart home devices, and more. Xiaomi is a constituent of the Hang Seng Index and was founded by Lia Bint (ex-vice president of Google China Institute of Engineering) in 2010. The company expanded outside China in 2014 with global headquarters in Singapore. "As a team, we share the same relentless pursuit of perfection, constantly refining and enhancing our products to create the best user experience possible." - Xiaomi's core beliefs lie in creating great user experience without paying a hefty premium. Xiaomi employs various strategies to sell for a competitive price including keeping low margins, keeping smartphones in the market longer, and keeping low inventory via flash sales
