Xiaomi launched its latest flagship smartphones — Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro in the Chinese market last year. Both the devices have been on sale in China for a couple of times through the flash sale model, selling hundreds of thousands of units.
Now it looks like the Mi 10 series sales and reservations have reached around 490,000 in China. This figure comes from analyst Pan Juitang. He said that if Apple sold less than 500,000 units of its devices in China in Feb 2020, then it is quite close to what Mi 10 series’ total bookings and sales were in the same period.
This means that the Mi 10 series also sold around 500K units in February. The new Mi 10 models come with a premium build and powerful hardware configuration with innovations in the screen, camera, sound quality, and system performance.
Meanwhile, the company has also launched a new protective case for the Mi 10 series for a price of 49 yuan, which is roughly $7. The thin and light protective case comes in two color options — Black and Blue and went on sale earlier today.
As per a report from CAICT, 6.34 million smartphones were sold in February in China, down 54.7 percent from 14 million around the same time a year ago. This figure is also noted to be the lowest monthly sales level since 2012 when China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) began releasing regular sales data.

The report reveals that the shipments of Apple products dropped to 494,000, from 1.27 million in February 2019. In January, the company’s shipments had held consistent at a little more than 2 million.
The sales performance in China seems to be in line with the projections of research firms IDC and Canalys which predicted that the overall phone shipments would drop by about 40 percent in the first quarter due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
Out of the total shipments of 6.34 million units in February 2020 in China, 2G phones accounted for 43,000 units, 4G phones accounted for 3.96 million units while the 5G phones accounted for 2.38 million units.
