Co-founder of Apple promotes Chinese brand Xiaomi smartphones

It’s stupid to put the Chinese company Xiaomi on a par with technology giants like Apple and Samsung. For most smartphone users from the USA and Europe, the name "Xiaomi" means nothing. Many of them do not know at all about the existence of this brand. Nevertheless, the company is based in Beijing and with time can be a threat to Samsung and Apple, which are leading today in the global smartphone market.

A few days ago, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak visited Xiaomi headquarters. As a rule, this person is paid extra for speeches at events devoted to technological topics, but this time his praise was free. He himself confirmed it. In particular, Mr. Wozniak recommended Xiaomi products, stating that the smartphones of this company can excite the American market. Resource TechinAsia quotes his words:

Xiaomi has great products. They have everything they need to break into the American market.

It is obvious that Xiaomi has great potential. Lei Jun, leader and co-founder of Xiaomi, is one of the richest people in China. Asian media often call him “Chinese Steve Jobs,” although he doesn't like it very much. Another co-founder of Xiaomi, Lin Bing, was formerly Vice President of the Google China Research Institute. After leaving Google, he established a new business.

Of course, the American market is not for everyone. Perhaps, Xiaomi does not plan to go to North America at all, but intends to continue to conquer Asia. In any case, of the two, the company may take away some of the market from Samsung and Apple.

In the new year, Xiaomi hopes to double sales to 40 million smartphones. So far, the company sells its Android-smartphones only in China and several other South Asian countries.
