Smartphone player Xiaomi launched its highly-trailed SU7 electric vehicle, a car the company’s founder and CEO Lei Jun highlighted drew on its legacy in mobile handsets, AI and robotics.

Chinese device maker Xiaomi saw revenue growth rebound in the final quarter of 2023, driven by double-digit gains in smartphone sales, with net profit jumping sharply on one-offs. 

Handset brand Xiaomi held the international launch of its Xiaomi 14 smartphone range on the eve of MWC24, with the challenger brand emphasising benefits from an ongoing partnership with imaging specialist Leica in its latest offering.

Xiaomi and Leica unveiled plans to establish an optical institute in Beijing covering 2,644 square metres and comprising three laboratories to develop camera hardware, imaging, and objective and subjective image quality evaluation.

Quanxin Wang, GM of Xiaomi Western Europe, told Mobile World Live it set sights on growth in the UK and Germany following success in establishing its brand in Spain.

Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi launched five handsets, two sets of earbuds and a watch under its Redmi brand across the globe, having already released versions of the devices to its home market.

Chinese device maker Xiaomi returned to profit growth in Q3, with gains in its IoT and lifestyle, and internet divisions offsetting continued weakness in smartphones.
