We have been patiently waiting to see when Xiaomi would eventually become an international brand and today news of their first steps to do so have been announced!
When and where will Xiaomi launch their affordable smartphones next? is one of the questions many have asked. The company already officially sell their phones on the mainland of China, Taiwan and HongKong, and next will be Singapore.
Xiaomi president Lin Bin, Li Wanqiang and Hugo Barra announced at a small press event that they had been traveling around Asia to find the next home for their phone brand and they have settled on Singapore.
A firm date hasn’t been announced but the company hopes to have their first office open up ASAP! So after Singapore where will Xiaomi go next?

“The company already officially sell their phones on the mainland of China, Taiwan and HongKong, and next will be Singapore.”
Xiaomi thanks Chinese for their valuable support. Chinese has always supported among themselves less with the others
I’ll consider the Xiaomi Mi4 next year, I hope their Android devices for all networks around the globe, will be flying off the selves in line with their global expansion.
It should have being India, India is a bigger market, but its difficult doing business in India because of red tape.
Strategically Singapore is better as its a hot spot of more affluent tourists from Europe and surrounding countries. Also, barrier into opening a new business is far minimal. I hope the selling price is similar to mainland China.
I doubt your average Indian can afford Xiaomi, even if Xiaomi makes no money on hardware.
The Indians should continue their tradition of printing their own logos on Chinese OEM phones.
Africa is the real growth market. That continent is going places.
why is not thailand ?
“The company already officially sell their phones on the mainland of China, Taiwan and HongKong, and next will be Singapore.”
hahahaha, yeah, because all of these countries are not basically China… HKG is part of China, Chinese government consider Taiwan as part of China and never recognized it as country and now Singapore with 80% of Chinese population, really international company selling just to Chinese consumers… What’s next, Penang state in Malaysia (only state where Chinese have majority) and it will be sold only if you show Malay ID with Chinese nationality and so on in Hongcouver?
and then china town
Penang doesn’t have a Chinese majority.
