Xiaomi sells 34.7M smartphones in first half of 2015
The company's CEO and co-founder, Lei Jun, expects the company to sell around 100 million smartphones in 2015

MANILA, Philippines – Xiaomi seems to be having an impressive year as far as sales are concerned. The company announced via its Twitter page that it sold 34.7 million smartphones in the first half of 2015.



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
