It seems that Xiaomi has another hit on its hands.
My Note and My Note Pro devices were sold out in less than three minutes after being put on sale this Tuesday, the Chinese company said on its website Weibo social network.
Xiaomi, which is known for its similar to Apple designs, said hybrids smartphone -tableta be available again on February 3.
While the news that the My Notes sold out in three minutes on launch day is a good thing for Xiaomi, not how many units the company said were actually available. It is possible, therefore, supplies have been limited. However, given the short but significant history of Xiaomi, most likely the My Note is highly coveted in China.
Xiaomi was founded in 2010 to provide Chinese consumers smartphones High range at lower than usual prices. While the company has been criticized for building phones that resemble Apple products, their smart phones have proven wildly popular in China and are typically sold in record time, as happened with the My Note Tuesday .Earlier this month, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, announced that sales before tax of your company reached US $ 12.100 million in 2014, an increase of 135 percent since 2013. Lei also revealed that Xiaomi sent more than 61 million smartphones worldwide in 2014.
In China, Xiaomi managed to capture 13.5 percent market share in 2014, landing in third place behind Lenovo and Huawei, as TrendForce research firm. The Xiaomi market share has more than doubled in China compared with the previous year, and is expected to increase further in 2015.
The company said last year that it expected to send 100 million smartphones in 2015. Currently supplies the third most popular smartphone in the world behind Samsung and Apple, according to IDC. Note Mi and Mi Note Pro, based on Android, were announced in Beijing earlier this month and are designed to compete with devices like the Galaxy Note Samsung and Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Both devices come with screens 5.7 inches, while the Pro has a display of 2K, rather than the 1080p screen as standard.
Xiaomi has focused on offering smartphones at cost or close the cost to generate more revenue in software and services which are then assembled on these devices. The My Note, for example, sells unlocked only 2,299RMB, which are about $ 370 US dollars. The My Note Pro sells for around US $ 530. The iPhone 6 Plus, meanwhile, costs US $ 749 unlocked in China with similar specifications. The similarities between the Xiaomi products and Apple devices have not gone unnoticed. Jony Ive, chief designer of Apple, has been criticized for allegedly Xiaomi imitate their designs.
“I do not see it as flattery,” Ive said last year in an interview with Vanity Fair . “When you’re doing something for the first time, do not know whether it will work or not. You’ll spend seven or eight years working on something, then you copied. I have to be honest, the first thing I think about is all those purposes week I could have been home with my family, but I did not. I think that’s theft and laziness. “
Xiaomi responded quickly to the accusation, saying that claims Ive were exaggerated and that company engineers were merely “inspired great products and great designs.” Whatever the nature of the product designs Xiaomi, smartphones of the company tend to earn high marks.
