We have seen a few limited product releases in the US from Xiaomi. A while back they released a series of accessories including a set of headphones, battery bank, and Mi Band fitness tracker. This was pretty exciting as it seemed to signal an entry into the market for their mobile handsets. Months went by and we never really saw anything else stateside from the Chinese Mega-Company.
Xiaomi has been spreading their wings all over Asian markets and have even outsold companies like Samsung and HTC in these markets. Recently in an interview with Bloomberg Hugo Barra, head of global expansion, said that the US market is very important for consumer electronics companies. Xiaomi has announced that they will be releasing a device in October and smartphones in the near future. I have owned a few Xiaomi devices and have actually enjoyed them. They are just super difficult to get here in the US. I am pretty excited these devices may soon see US launches!
