Xiaomi became the third most important smartphone producer in the world behind Samsung and Apple, but ahead many other important companies such are LG, HTC, Lenovo and Motorola. Their growth was spectacular and this is not all because the Chinese company is aiming to go even further and to surpass the two huge names mentioned above. Their initial plan is to sell this year 100 million devices which is, to be honest, an impressive number. They already got some advantage in front of Samsung as their devices are as good as the South Korean company has but far cheaper.
Mi Note for iPhone 5s, Mi Note Pro for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
Also, Apple is threatened now! Apart from the fact that the two smartphone models resemble quite well, now Xiaomi wants to make sure that might attract some iPhone customers through an interesting method. The Chinese are aiming to introduce a trade program which will allow all iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users to trade their already used devices for a Mi Note or Mi Note Pro devices, which are considered ones of the top smartphones which are about to appear on the market.
It is to follow if the initiative of Xiaomi will be successful but it looks like a very brave one and also like a beginning for a strong competition between the Chinese company and the long time established top smartphone producer, Apple.
