There are some days Xiaomi unveiled two new mobile "high-end" Mi and Mi Note Note Pro.

But if the output of the two mobile more than interesting, from the point of view of features and price, you have been led to expect an imminent launch of Xiaomi products in Europe, you were wrong.


In an interview with the BBC, Hugo Barra, vice president of the manufacturer, has clarified things: Xiaomi wait a few years before moving on to the West. According to him, the economic model of the manufacturer (sell mobile with high features at competitive prices) "has an economic and social impact much higher in developing markets" .

It also goes without saying that attacking Europe and North America, Xiaomi perhaps could deal with issues of patents and intellectual property, as has happened in India.

But for his part, Hugo Barra has already explained that the choice of markets which the manufacturer is addressing is not based on the risks of litigation related to intellectual property but rather on the chances of success of its business model "low- cost ".

That said, a ride on the web and you will find quite easily the French sites already offering smartphones of the manufacturer, as Xiaomi E4.
