The big question is, will we still be using smartphones in 10 years time?

    Errr, who are you talking about? Apple? Samsung? LG? Sony? As far as I know Xiaomi makes excellent phones at fair prices. They just need to sell them in more countries.

      AnonD-82281, 20 Nov 2014Well, they will need a name everyone can pronounce for a start.Really? Most people on the internet can't properly pronounce Samsung or Nokia... Even iPhone, believe or not. So I don't think Xiaomi is in a disadvantage. Here: "shao-mee" easy, right? :-)

              Hire an army of Stephen elop's and plant them with your core competence... That should be it...

              Lol

                  Here are the recommended steps to achieve the goal:-
                  1. Make PDAs (yeah I did type that..in 2014 that would mean both smartphone and tablet) or the kitchen sink like TV box, powerbanks, WiFi router etc... decide on this 1st then you can move on.

                  2. Either fully ramp up on that Leadcore acquisition's R&D firepower or get ready to gtfo w/ that because it'd be a waste to own a SoC company just to put out cheap chips. See how Huawei is getting their Kirin game on and one up them better by making it more dev friendly.

                  3. Can't be arsed to be fast enough at opening up MIUI ROM or allow more AOSP based ROMs like CM, AOKP or PA to be developed? Fair enough... so get more devs in, listen to the user base and beat Samsung at fw/sw delivery and quality.

                  4. Explore some fallback options and start to work on those now. Stuff like Ubuntu Touch or Sailfish OS.

                  5. Enough w/ this fire sales' number hyping when you can't even get to markets fast enough. It actually pisses off more potential buyers than it really helps.

                  Lastly but most importantly where the hell is Redmi Note 2 16GB dammit :p

                    AnonD-333500, 20 Nov 2014This is one of the worst jokes I've heard of 2014 !LOL...I kinda agree but I still would not take it into consideration that this might happen; however, it might not be possible with the die hard fandroids and iFanboys who would buy an empty box from Apple/

                          The brand name isn't particularly marketable though

                                  At the rate they are eating into Samsung's sales, it probably won't take that long.

                                    Very cheap approach. If they want to be Number 1 then do as per needed. Boasting about it is not the needful here.
