- Chinese technology company Xiaomi went from start-up to one of the world’s biggest companies in less than a decade. One year after its initial public offering, the electronics firm is the youngest member of the Fortune Global 500. CNBC’s Uptin Saiidi visits its Beijing headquarters to understand how Xiaomi’s success in markets like India helped turn it into a major global player.

Not a Xiaomi fan boi but I appreciate them for bringing down the price of cell phones.
They're godsends for poor people like me
@@serosero Their Redmi Note 10 Pro is an absolute powerhouse, while the price is pretty impressive ($250)
Thank you china phone makers for challenging samsung and apple and making us the consumers have cheap phones with great performance
Thank you Xiaomi for copying iPhone design and making us the consumers have cheap phone with great looking.
@Don Espoleto
I use over 8 chinese phones and none of that happened maybe if ur just careful of ur acc and not stupid u can avoid that
@Don Espoleto
Sis i have a job making 55k per month lol
Im just wise enough to know that other phones are overpriced
@Don Espoleto
Lol i always have 2 phones evry year i buy new
I see ur not smarthphone person or a techperson that's why u can't understand me
@Don Espoleto hey it's someone personal choice whether they want to upgrade their phone every year or stick to their outdated phone for years. Many users want to use the latest specs and features available in the market and they have every right to use a more viable option than spending money on premium smart phones. No need to be so judgemental and enforce your opinion on anyway. Remember it's there money and their choice. You can keep sticking to your outdated phone for 5 years.
Someday, the US might call Xiaomi a threat to national security as well.
😆
It is a threat. I believe the government here has banned all chinese phones. Such as Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, or whatever is Chinese phones. But its not a problem to me. Im still happy with my iPhone XS.
Vietnam Number 1
No don’t think so. Xiaomi is more of a integrator, an enterprise which makes affordable products for your everyday life, it doesn’t have the technology that potentially threaten US’ leading position
@@thatecomguy39 OnePlus is Chinese too. You guys have them there.
Xiaomi makes good products at lower cost..great job by xiaomi..and great work by you ..
Got my Redmi K20 two days ago, and honestly initially never expected much from it. But I have to say I am BLOWN-AWAY. The display and the camera on this thing is just insane!
Please don't forget to be blown away by its design never available in iPhone or samsung
BOYCOTT CHINA PHONES AND CHINA PRODUCTS. BAN CHINA.
BOYCOTT CHINA PHONES AND CHINA PRODUCTS. BAN CHINA. ONE SHOULD NOT FEED BAD PEOPLE. FEED YOUR OWN COUNTRIES COMPANIES, YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
@Lakshml Narasimha Reddy Bujuti I get that you're upset, but it's kinda racist to boycott a certain company's products just because its based in a certain country.
@@lakshminarasimhareddybujut6394 they are not from india
Xiaomi really has top notch product and worth for the price paid.. Loved it.. Cheers for Xiaomi
You mean a cheap version copycat of Apple?
Will Lee typical apple fanboy. Xiaomi has different os different design. Apple didnt invent the smartphone, they stole the idea as well. Heck steve jobs even stole the macOS idea from xerox
Will Lee chinese smartphones are often more technologically advanced than iphones. They innovate, while apple copies. For example, bezeless displays with popup cameras are a chinese invention, shich apple will soon copy. Camera under display is another xiaomi invention, which i am sure apple will copy.
@@Tamohawk its cheap laggy shit never buy miui phones worst laggy heavy ui never ever invest in mi....redmi user myself 😭

It is a threat.

Threat to economic interests => threat to national security (:
Question: is Xiaomi a threat? Answer: Apple is dropping prices.
It is forcing apple as well as samsung
Apple: iPhone 12 is coming out $50 cheaper than the iPhone 11
Also Apple: But we're not going to include a charger or earphones
Some how the US government will try to ban xiaomi (in China)

That moment when you know there's a couple name their daughter as Xiaomi.. 🤪
In Chinese language this is a cute name.
For a nickname or something like that, yes. But for a actual given name, no. That's too stupid ( maybe foreigners would). XiaoMi stand xiao=little rice=mi in Chinese.
Restiandi Reza that wasn’t that funny :)
It seems like a song flay away：

Thank you ! Thank you very much !
@@ChaseYu arent it supposedly xiao mei>xiao mi?
I love this brand..... I had the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 from 2015, up until August last month and my entire family uses this brand for phones. It is easy to use and the cost is just right. I bought the Xiaomi Redmi K20 last month only because I dropped the note 2 from a flight of stairs and I needed a great excuse to get an upgrade...lol, and I am loving it so much, even got my sister to get one. I also got the Mi band 4 as well as the body composition scale. Love it.... My home will eventually become home to Xiaomi....
This is clearly not just a normal comment.
you forgot to mention the prices and maybe their website. Great Add anyways.
@@arabianspots5588 It is a normal comment and not an Ad. I have not mentioned prices as it will differ based on country and I am using third party service providers to import this brand as it cannot be sourced locally. Cost wise, I can buy THREE Xiaomi Redmi K20s for the price of ONE Samsung S9/S10 series and still have change as well as be the envy of colleagues.
@@arabianspots5588 I don't think that's paid. Xiaomi can't afford to pay people for such nonsense. I have a couple of Xiaomi phones in home and also a body composition scale. Plenty of my friends have Mi Band as well. So, its not a stretch by any sense of the imagination.
@@carina4796 I'd have advised u to buy the slightly costlier Redmi K20 Pro instead. That's a flagship device at a fraction of the cost.
@@TheFourthWinchester thank you for the advice.
In Brazil Xiaomi even has a fan club, the Xiaominions!

@@lakshminarasimhareddybujut6394 Did you know Xiaomi helps more than 50 thousands people in India and give them a job? Xiaomi is a chinese brand but also loves India.
and did you know that some xiaomi phones are "made in India"? like POCO and other stuffs.
Xiaomi looks like a warm and friendly phone company. Happy Xiaomi fan here. 😊 Xiaomi is the best in managing sub brands.
Im watching this from India in a xiaomi phone, what are the odds😉😁😁
not surprising...
Pretty high

I have no regrets choosing Xiaomi as my smartphone. Budget friendly with specs wise is what Xiaomi gives to their valued customer.
- Love from PH 🇵🇭
I say the same, I opted for Xiaomi and it wasn't a choice.
When I was living in China, I personally experienced to enter in several Xiaomi stores. Their stuff are very accommodating and friendly + their products are really amazing and affordable
I bought a redmi note 8 pro I love it I'm never buying iPhones again

I liked it when he said Apple is a great company.
I like it when someone praises a rival
Apple used to be highly respected by peer technology people. Apple used to a true leader in tech.
Huawei CEO said the same. If it was the other way round, they'd say Xiaomi is a cheap company
Xiaomi and apple aren't really rivals tho..
They compete at a different market segment...
@@klvn2266 I don't mind Xiaomi aiming at high-end phone. Samsung is a bit overprice right now.. milking money from premature device like S20
*Rival...???*
*Huh... really ???*
XioaMi is an absolute value purchase for a mobile phone. Hands down! Good luck with your other products.
Seeing this reminds me of my time in China and Hong Kong. Great memories and I absolutely LOVE Xiaomi!
Xiaomi's growth was smart and cost effective. Targeted mass market, sold online at the start minimising costs. Very Chinese way of business.
@B K Lau
Apple's growth was smart and really profitable. Targeted wanna look rich and trendy, sold at overpriced costs while keeping production cost really low using modern slavery. Used really effective marketing giving phones to wannalookrich idols like celebrities ect.
Very American way of business
Marketing over quality and using own population stupidity. And yes don't tell you aint stupid.
Greetings from my country,

Mi phones are really great ..man .. deserves to be the top
I have the Xiaomi Mi8 and it is probably the best phone I've ever had. Over one year in and stillgoing very strong. Now if only they can freely sell in the US... But Apple and Samsung wouldn't want that... They'd get destroyed given the value and beast of a phone Xiaomi produces.
When Xiaomi makes it fully in the US market.
Apple full panicked mode
Keegan you can read right ??
Xiaomi would be labelled a threat to US national security
@Rio the Chief Master Boss Idol A government which surveillance it's own people's personal messages and many other countries, talking about security threat ?? Lol
I'm happy with my 6 inch $50 used phone that's light as feather. The lg stylo 3 Plus.
When I see the cost of iPhone x, I was surprised. 1k usd brand new.
I hope Xiaomi get popular in the US. I wanna try it. A phone that doesn't cost you a leg or arms? Sign me up.
Im a big fan! Self proclaimed! I love Xiaomi phones, bags and shoes! 🇵🇭

Xiaomi's business model is High quality affordable to the masses. Xiaomi is the Panasonic of China and is a force to be rekoned with on the global arena. Their engineers are dynamic as well as their product designers. Their products start with mobile devices and then head to the sky.
小米类似中国的苹果公司，松下有自己的工厂，小米没有！
I’m so glad I have Chinese friends willing to send me these neat things from China-at least until I get there next year! My Xiaomi tablet is even better than my iPad in speed and overall performance! My ONLY complaints are battery (the first 50% goes down pretty fast; then it slows down). But, it CHARGES back up fully in less than an hour-so, not really worth complaining about! Second is the camera-which I never use anyways.
I’ll be ready for a new phone before leaving next year and I’m wavering between Huawei (with their new, “advanced” OS they are coming out with) OR Xiaomi. We’ll see, I have enough friends there always testing the new devices out, that I’m sure it will be an excellent product, whichever I decide on!
PS Just like so much about what we hear about China these days; “Made in China” doesn’t mean anything like it used to anymore! EVERY electronic my friends have sent has been EXCELLENT quality! Are there some dud out there? Of course, no country OR Company, is perfect. But, at least China is moving in the right direction-no matter WHAT US media and politicians try and tell us!
So u support enslaving people? Thats what Xiaomi and Huawei r doing by helping the CCP. But ig our western values arent worth a penny anymore
@@foxkujo9684 Enslaving people when this is based on automation, with Xiaomi automated factories, and has higher wages than the world average? Slave labor doesn’t exist in China anymore, at least legally, and everything is prioritized on long term prosperity now, not useless short term cash cow but damaging labor like what you probably think. Still you will probs think I am a CCP Wumao bot shill thing.
@@bigbrothersinnerparty297 Hm so the the Labor Camps in Xinjiang dont exist for you? There id do much wrong...
@@foxkujo9684 Xiaomi and Huawei aren’t enslaving people. Xinjiang has re-education camps, and none of that is related to the Chinese economy as a whole. They act more like prisons and the only ones of those people doing labor are the extremists. I am fine with terrorists going to work camps. And before you say anything, I don’t believe there are millions in those camps, there are a lot of facilities in each of those camps and a lot of the satellite footage of the camps are not even close to being related to them.
@@bigbrothersinnerparty297 Huawei helps identifying Millionär of Ughyurs by surveillance Software. Million of People r in prisons, what r u up to

It’ll be super hard for them to sell in the US as Americans are willing to spend $1000 for an iPhone 📱
Let xio mi in USA without any istigma attach to its name attach to its name like that of Hwaway and then see what happens.

they wontbe able to sell in the us due to the fact they blatantly copy apple's design and aesthetic
@@mistermood4164 They are an IOT firm. they have hundreds of different products from smart underwear to laptops, robotic vacuum cleaners, electric scooter, drones, smart tvs,fitness band, smart watches headphones etc. Apple doesn't have so many different products. And the iPhone design is not in the hype anymore. Nowadays most of their phones have their own design.

Cant wait for Xiaomi USA! People here would love some competition all we have is Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, Nokia, Motorola, ZTE, BLU, Google, Sony and a few insignifiant others we have NO Huawei, Honor, OPPO, Vivo, Xiaomi, and many more we need competition here.
Xiaomi wants to go there but the strict regulation and useless taxation hinders them to go there
What ZTE?
apple,nokia,motorola hahhahahhah🤣🤣
Meh the American market is rather restricted. Xiaomi would've to partner with carriers in order to succeed and that means their phones will probably be a lot more expensive compared with other markets.
@@cise4832 They would have to partner with best buy they are already at B&H and they would most likely partner with T Mobile since T Mobile is the most open to partnerships.

Been to a Xiaomi store in HK, very enjoyable visit. The product design is beautiful.
I have my redmi note 12 5g and its amazing it's like an iphone 14 pro but it's affordable.
I think Xiaomi owes its phenomenal success in smartphone business to consumer markets where people believe in "value for money" proposition. Also their management is smart enough to diversify into other consumer electronics businesses, especially smart homes, and investing in tech startups, something that the so-called big-tech giants are yet to do.
Xiaomi now sells almost all tech products that a normal family needs.

Affordability is the key. iphones are ridiculously expensive.

I remember my dad buying a Xiaomi projector instead of a tv when we still lived in China, he gave it to my Grandma when we moved to Canada
Excited of getting one.
When is Xiaomi bringing these products in India????
@@-SP. not because cheap ,but because it's cheap and super good ,indians not rich ,but they are not fool like you
@Yasoboy Phones are 1 of 1000 things that india import from china. Except the phones, other chinese things indeed are(& have been for several decades) of very poor quality & durability.
@Yasoboy Do you think products received by India are same quality as that of america? China purposefully sends worst quality products to India only(apart from handsets i guess). All Indians used to have the same opinion, 'it's chinese, good or bad don't know how will & how long it will work?'.
And food products are the worst. Harmful artificial colors in food prodcuts, plastic rice in real ones & even chinese vegetables(without seeds) like cucumber are harmful.
These big tech companies have made a positive mark on our ppl though.
