Xiaomi launching Mi Store in US, only to sell headphones and fitness tracker
Chinese smartphone manufacturer, Xiaomi, creator of popular devices like the Mi Note and Mi Redmi, will be making its first steps in the United States market. Unfortunately, though, it’s not to bring us any devices from the Mi line.
Instead, US customers will be able to purchase items from Xiaomi’s accessory products, like headphones and its Mi Band wearable fitness tracker.
Hugo Barra, who recently left Google to join the Xiaomi team, told CNET about the store: “The amount of effort required to bring those products [phones and tablets] to market is significant. We just have to move at the right pace, so we’re accelerating our entry in a sense by bringing simpler products.”
There’s still no time-table on when we might see Xiaomi’s Mi smartphones or tablets find their way onto the US market.
