It is quite disappointing that Xiaomi is yet to get it right with the availability of stock for its latest flagship models. The Chinese tech giant has made several efforts to ramp up production and those efforts may have started yielding results. Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun hinted today that the company has accelerated production of the Mi 9 and Mi 9 SE models and was able to achieve over 1.5 million units shipping out of the production lines as at the end of March.
Lei Jun further stated that the company will strive to further increase its production capacity and make the phone available soon. Lei had earlier hinted that the Mi 9 product encountered some difficulties in the early part of March but the company has been able to resolve the issues by the middle of March. He acknowledged the importance of satisfying customers’ demands by making stock available.

Xiaomi seems to have learned a great deal from its earlier misadventure when it soared to the top 5 phone maker ranking but the growth was stifled by a scarcity of its products. Back then, Xiaomi only sells through the online sales channel. That has been corrected and the glaring effort it is putting to ensure that the products are available is geared towards ensuring it expands its customer base. The production line for the Mi 9 has also been boosted with the addition of BYD foundry to Foxconn’s two foundries in China.
