It has been only two months since Xiaomi launched the Mi 10 series in China. However, the company has still managed to sell over a million units even during a global pandemic. The information comes directly from Lu Weibing, the Vice President of Xiaomi who is also the General Manager of Redmi brand.
A blogger praised the price to performance ratio offered by the Xiaomi Mi 10 series when compared to phones from competitors on Weibo. At the end of the post, the person also tagged Mr Lu and asked whether the series has sold 1 million units yet.
Surprisingly, quoting the blogger’s post, Lu Weibing answered that the company has already sold over a million units of Mi 10 series long ago. This sales figure is really impressive as the worldwide smartphone shipments dropped by 38% in February, the month in which these devices were launched. Additionally, the Mi 10 series is the costliest primary flagship phone from the company yet.
The overall smartphone shipments dipped by 13.3% in the first quarter of 2020 due to lockdowns issued by governments across the world to curb the outbreak of coronavirus. But a report from last week mentioned Xiaomi along with Apple has been slowly recovering from the COVID-19 crisis.
Xiaomi’s CFO Shou Zi Chew also claimed the Chinese market has recovered by 80-90%, however, he did admit poor sales for his company’s products. But unfortunately, he did not reveal the exact number. Thankfully, we now have some numbers, at least for the Mi 10 series.
