Xiaomi: what more can you say about them? Their name has become synonymous with quality, community, and innovation. And in 2018, they began their quest for dominance outside of Asia, breaking into European markets and setting sights on North America. It’s not enough for Xiaomi to appear on the market, they’re actively reaching out to untapped consumers in these markets and making a connection. As we’ve seen with the fan-base they’ve cultivated in their home market, creating a large-scale conversation around their products will make all the difference going forward.
2019 will be a huge year. With the introduction of 5G, every single company involved with electronics has a chance to step their game up. But Xiaomi is the most prepared of them all. Here’s a taste of what they have planned for this young new year:
Pocophone 2
The first edition of Poco was hailed as a flagship for those on more restrictive budgets. Critics praised the smooth, reduced lag in operation of the phone, and a variant of Poco was recently unveiled packing 6GB of RAM! Son of Pocophone will also boast large amounts of memory, as well as the Snapdragon 845 processor, which is the current powerhouse of most Android flagships. Though its release date is currently unknown, this device is not one to be slept on.
