Xiaomi is such a deranged (not a negative statement) company. I think most people in the west don't really have exposure to this but I was transferring through Panama City (Panama) on a recent trip to the US and they have a couple Xiaomi stores in the airport so I popped in.

I've used the Xiaomi Poco X3 phone for a while and other than an unreliable charging port it has been pretty solid so I thought I'd look at the newer phones.

The shop has everything, there's robot vacuum cleaners, phones, tablets, fans, humidifiers, glasses (?), watches, blenders. It's like the middle aisle of Lidl on steroids. For a company I associated with cheap phones it has a truly bewildering range of products. Their shares are also up almost 230% over the past year.

Xiaomi is a gigantic company; we don't realize how big it is in the US because of tariffs, but they sell stuff under other brands (DREAME vacs are affiliated with Xiaomi, for example)

It's like an american big tech company, with many different integrated products, except in hardware.

Xiaomi MO is copying high end brands and halo products 1 to 1. Apple, Tesla, Dyson etc.

Sounds exactly like Samsung
