Hugo Barra: 9 out of 10 of the most used Android smartphones in China's Tencent are Xiaomi
Xiaomi continues to grow at unprecedented rates, becoming a dominant player in the Asian markets in only a few years.
The business plan was enticing enough that former Googler, Hugo Barra, left Mountain View in 2013 to make the move to Beijing and become Xiaomi’s Global vice-president.
Xiaomi now has some pretty cool bragging rights when it comes to Chinese social media, 9 of the top 10 most active Android devices on the Tencent microblogging service are made by the company. Number 10 is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Such statistics certainly earn Xiaomi a tip of the hat for becoming such a pervasive brand in a large and wildly growing mobile market like China.
