While Xiaomi said this represented a 33% year-on-year increase in sales, CEO and co-founder Lei Jun said he estimated the company would sell around 100 million smartphones this year.
While the current sales numbers are less than half the expected amount, Xiaomi is looking to do more business in other parts of the world. TechCrunch reports that it will expand into Brazil, selling its first smartphone there on July 7. (READ: Xiaomi picks Philippines as 3rd global market)
Xiaomi did not specify the amounts it sold in specific regions, nor did it say which phones sold the most units this year. TechCrunch added in a separate report, however, that 6 of Xiaomi’s models – the Mi 2, Mi 3, Mi 4, Redmi, Redmi Note, and Redmi 2 – have shipped over 10 million units to date. – Rappler.com
