Xiaomi reports impressive first sales of 14, 14 Pro flagships

01 November 2023
The company sold six times more devices in the first five minutes than the previous flagships.

Sort by:

they all be crying on the HyperOS sh1t Operating system and begging to leave or mod their phones soon. No more xiaomi for me. terrible MIUI android experience. E.g Video advertisements in default native Mi Video. File Manager cannot unzip rar files. Alarm clock takes 2 steps to turn off. 10 Seconds security delay prompt for unsecure apps.

    The 13 pro was heavy and unlike the samsung and pixel phones didn't have an on board smart photo editor. The bloatware is not needed too.
    Hope they fix these issues with the 14 pro.

      I been a Xiaomi user for 8 years now, my first was mi5 prime and my latest is Xiaomi 12tpro. I dont like the softwear its buggy and they started using something called getapp instead of google store and i cant remove it or disable it. The phone screen went dark while the phone is on and it stayed dark until i rebooted my device. They say the camera is 200mp its an impressive camera but really you cant do much with the 200mp limited zoom among other things. So i dont think Xiaomi 13 or 14 will be any better

        Aierlan, 01 Nov 2023Definitely, the sales are way up mostly driven by the non-p... moreAny idea what the trade-in values are like?
        I've got a cracked screen 10 ultra.

          The Chinese love using flash sales for marketing, they can literally sell 10 phones in 5 minutes and call it the fastest-selling Xiaomi phone ever. We wouldn't know since they dont reveal how many they sold.

            Anonymous, 01 Nov 2023People are gonna say defend Xiaomi and say that 'oh, R... moreWorth a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation ... but compared to the competition, Xiaomi phones are dirt cheap even with the mark-up. If I could put any trust into their software, I'd get one. But relying on custom ROM's all the time is...not optimal. For security, anyway.

              Burnq, 01 Nov 2023Xiaomi flagship phones are getting better and better except... moreYou can be certain that HyperOS is just another name for MIUI. It's all just Android with each vendor's own modifications.

                They will sell six times as much if they charge that price in Europe too. 🙏

                  Anonymous, 01 Nov 2023For the prices mentioned in the article this makes no surprise.The prices seem low but that's relative to the standard of living in the west. I'd guess they aren't that low relative to the standard of living in China.

                    Only thing I hate about being in the EU is the 20 to 30% mark up of phones

                        which one selling like hotcakes, this xiaomi 14(pro) or huawei 60(pro) ?
                        specs while both quite similar, except price is cheaper for xiaomi ?

                        if looking at gsmarena specs compare, xiaomi also have their own Xiaomi Longjing Glass
                        how good this glass? considering its their debut right ? while kunlun already on 2nd gen

                          Hope global announcement in end of Dec.

                            Well global sales will be awesome i think.
                            Make this phone and brand available to all 206 existing countries and brands like Apple or Samsung can go nuts because for less or same money user gets 100% more powerfull experiences. Wonder why only Apple and Samsung must been available everywhere.

                              Bodygard, 01 Nov 2023Those numbers in 5 minutes or 5 hours or 1 day, don't ... moreInitial sales numbers say nothing about how good a phone is, only how good the marketing is.

                              These are the people who will blindly buy a phone without reading any reviews and knowing nothing about its quality.

                                Those numbers in 5 minutes or 5 hours or 1 day, don't matter at all. I wanna see the cumulative sales in 5 months, that will tell a story. 5min is just trying to impress lol

                                  Xiaomi flagship phones are getting better and better except the midrange and low-ends. My only concern is how does it do well on every day tasks and it's camera? Hardware wise this is like a dream come true - no doubt about it. But the software side, I don't even want to see bloatware or how prompt and not frequent the OS updates is currently. I really have high expectations about the HyperOS. If the OS is shit, I won't look back buying a Xiaomi phone again.

                                    Better to be spied on while using TSMC chip than being spied on while using ten$ynos

                                      I am a bit worried abot the China Star screen and the Omnivision main sensor on the 14 series. On the 13 we had Samsung made screen and Sony sensors. :)
