Interesting Facts About Xiaomi | MI

-

  Hi Guyz! This is SOUMYA!! Today I'm here to tell you ''THE MOST INSTERESTING FACTS ABOUT 'XIAOMI'' Might you don't know about... So WHY Wait? Let's get it STATR!

1.The name is quite enigmatic.

Who says Chinese manufacturers must have a Chinese name? The term "Xiaomi" is a transposition of Chinese characters to the Western alphabet and, as you might expect, the interpretation is confusing. I asked my Chinese colleague to explain it and, according to her, the two characters  (Xiao and Mi) literally mean “little millet” (millet being a cereal) or even “little rice”.



2.The first product for you and I was…actually UI

It might be mostly known for its hardware products these days – the phones, the televisions, the fitness bands and so on – but Xiaomi’s first product was actually software. On 16 August 2010, the brand launched its own take on Android, MIUI. The company’s first hardware product, the Mi 1 was released almost a year later in August 2011.


3.From me to you…Mitu the mascot.

Xiaomi’s mascot is a bunny. And it is called Mitu. Mitu wears a fur cap with flaps (called an Ushanka) that’s either plain or has the Mi logo on it or sometimes a red star. It also has a red scarf around its neck. The Mi Bunny is so omnipresent that one of the brand’s rivals tried to use to target Xiaomi, with a video showing a rabbit having gone mad. Before you ask, it did not work.



4.  “China’s Apple”: Woz was there!

Xiaomi has often been compared to Apple, because of its similar stress on hardware and software and even its general overall design approach (even when it comes to stores). Interestingly, a person who thinks very highly of Xiaomi is one of Apple’s co-founders, the legendary Steve Wozniak. Speaking during a visit to Xiaomi’s headquarters in 2014, Wozniak said that Xiaomi had excellent products that were “good enough to break the American market.” It is believed that Woz also was using a Mi 3 phone at that time. Xiaomi might not have broken the American market but 2014 saw it make its way into another very important one. Cue our next point…


5.OhMiDawg! Woof!

All right, this is a weird one but perhaps our favorite. When Xiaomi’s headquarters was being constructed in Beijing, a stray dog was always roaming around the area. And even when the building was complete, it would keep wandering around it. Well, Xiaomi adopted it. It was the company’s pet dog and was called Wang Cai. Employees contribute for its haircuts and even trips to the dog spa.
