Meaning of the name

Xiaomi literally means “millet and rice,” which is a reference to a Buddhist idea. It connotes that Xiaomi needs to begin from seemingly insignificant details prior to focusing on the top. “Mi” is likewise an abbreviation for Mission Impossible (not the film!) to show the impossible obstacles that they have overcome. 2)

Xiaomi's word of mouth

Xiaomi built its position some time ago primarily through word-of-mouth advertising. Many users choose smartphones or equipment from this Chinese brand simply because it is cheaper than competing products from other companies. 5)
