  • Xiaomi's global expansion dream also catered to the market decline as it didn't have a patent portfolio to enter the Western market.

    It is accused of copying features and hardware of other players like Apple.

    Even in its second-largest market (India), Xiaomi faced bans for infringement of Ericsson's patents.

    Also, studies show Xiaomi's customers - especially Chinese - being quite tech-savvy aren't brand loyal.

    Xiaomi unruffled with plummeting smartphone sales

    Xiaomi unruffled with plummeting smartphone sales
  • Xiaomi won't be impacted by sharply dropping smartphone sales as its key profit-drivers are smart-home devices and software eco-system, according to officials.

    Despite smartphone sales tumbling, Xiaomi's VP, Hugo Barra, refutes suggestions that it could impact valuation.

    Barra explains Xiaomi is essentially giving away smartphones "without making any money."

    Xiaomi has been increasingly focusing on its home-appliances and expects sales to double this year.
