We are very pleased to see the total sales volume of the Mi 10 series in China has surpassed 1 million units on 21st April 2020. This number was achieved despite the COVID-19 outbreak that has dented some of our manufacturing capacity for about a month. We know that our Singaporean Mi fans and users have been waiting for the Mi 10 series. That is why we are excited to announce that the Mi 10 series is finally reaching the Singaporean shores, aiming to bring the best experience to Mi fans and users, whether it’s in the leading performance with Qualcomm SnapdragonTM 865, the 108MP quad-camera with 8K video recording or the 6.67” 3D curved AMOLED with TrueColor technology,” said Nicolas Shi, Xiaomi Country Manager of Malaysia and Singapore.
He continues, “We are also proud that this year, the Mi 10 series will debut as the first Xiaomi products in Singapore that is powered by the latest 5G technology. This is in line with our ‘5G+AIoT’ strategy that we have set earlier this year. This is a revolutionary combination that will fundamentally change all of our products, catalyzing the next stage of our growth in 2020 and beyond. The 5G technology promises to change people’s lives including Singaporeans and we would like to be part of this initiative even in this early stage.”
