Xiaomi haven’t picked a date yet for Launich Xiaomi Smartphones in USA :Hugo Barra
Speaking at the Code Conference, Barra says that Xiaomi is "working on" expanding its reach beyond Asia. Having seen incredible growth since inception -- the company is, lest we forget, scarcely five years old -- Xiaomi has branched out from China to Singapore, Malaysia and India, among others, but has yet mount a challenge in the Western World.
Speaking tentatively, Barra concedes that his company does not have a "set plan" in place as yet, but is content with dipping its toes into the water with accessories. It might not be a bad starting point, either: Barra says that Xiaomi's Mi Band fitness bands are shifting over one million units per month, which he believes is more than the Fitbit.
Should the Mi Band and other accessories sell strongly once the new store goes live, we could finally see the company launch its first smartphone in the U.S. and Europe thereafter. Gauging Barra's tone, we probably shouldn't get too excited as yet, but given Xiaomi's reputation for moving quickly, the likes of Apple and Samsung will surely looking nervously over their shoulders.
