Certain movements of Xiaomi In recent months, they fueled rumors that had created hope that the company, which ranked fourth globally in 2014, would land in Europe and America this year. Your vice president and one of the visible heads, Hugo Barra, has been in charge of destroying any hint of this possibility, not only ruling out that the news will occur in 2015, but also, stating that there are still “a few years” ahead.
Xiaomi arrives for several years giving a lot to talk about. The firm has led a series of Asian companies that offer high-specification terminals at quite affordable prices if we compare them with the models of manufacturers such as Samsung, Apple, LG or HTC, among many others. Smartphones like Mi3, Red Rice, Redmi Note and more recently the Mi4, tablets MiPad o Mi Note and Mi Note Pro, announced a couple of days agoThey destroy the competition when it comes to value for money.
This has raised the interest of users, who despite not having direct distribution outside of China, have placed Xiaomi as the fourth manufacturer that sells the most smartphones in the world. If these difficulties were eliminated, there are many who think that Xiaomi could truly choose to lead the market as they have proposed themselves. Hence, changes such as the one by which they moved their users' data out of China, were interpreted as a first step towards their arrival in Europe and America.
Nothing is further from reality, Hugo Barra, known for being a Google employee who now works as vice president of Xiaomi has stated that we will have to wait "a few years." They may have taken these margins into account when they stated that they expected to be the largest manufacturer within 5 or 10 years, which gives us an initial idea of how long we will have to wait.
It is said that one of the reasons could be the competition, that they will wait for them with swords raised. Among other things, they risk being sued by Apple for plagiarism, who has already verbally accused them of copying their designs. This would be solved by giving a change to the aesthetics of their products like the one they have executed with the Mi Note. We will see if the rest of the barriers are eliminated in an accelerated way and we can give in not too long a news in a different sense that brings Xiaomi closer to our country.
