Recently there have been several brands making big pushes into areas outside China. Xiaomi has pushed into several Asian markets next year, but the rumor is now floating that they plan to make a push into the USA next year.
To me it does not sound far fetched. Recently Hugo Barra, CEO of Xiaomi tweeted they had signed on Manu Kamir, Indian marketing master and one of the founders of Jabong marketplace. Hugo Barra recently visiting India, opening an India based Xiaomi site and his recent tweet is the proof in the pudding of Xiaomi’s big intentions for India.
I think they will have great success in India, and if the rumors regarding the push into USA is true I feel they will be quite successful there as well.
Huawei has long been released at the retail level in USA. Arguably Xiaomi makes a phone on par quality wise with Huawei and I think most would agree that the specs bang for the buck is a step above them.
