Xiaomi literally means “millet and rice,” which is a reference to a Buddhist idea.

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)
