No matter if you like Xiaomi or not, it is really remarkable what Xiaomi achieved so far. Xiaomi, just founded in 2010, produced their first smartphone ever, just mere three years ago in 2011. Now in 2014 – with the Xiaomi Mi4 and Redmi models, Xiaomi is officially the world’s third largest smartphone maker judging by Sales. Xiaomi achieved this just by selling in Asia so far – they didnt attack Apple as Nr 2. and Samsung Nr 1. in their Home Markets just yet.

To really have the knowledge to see that Xiaomi just needed three years in producing smartphones to be the Number three in the Business, is necessary to understand Xiaomi’s CEO Lei JUN newest statement. Lei JUn just announce on a press conference in China that Xiaomi will be the Number 1 in Smartphone Sales Worldwide in 5-10 years, kicking Samsung and Apple from their throne!

Naturally in 5-10 years a lot of things can happen. For once especially Samsung could wake up and see that Xiaomi is not too far behind and eating up their market shares. Judging by Xiaomi’s success and popularity so far, we and also Xiaomi’s competitors should take Lei Jun very serious with this plan and consider this possibility to be true.

In fact, if Xiaomi had the producing capacity, they could expand to USA and Europe right now and their Sales would jump instantly by a lot.

Lei Jun said that Xiaomi plans to be Number 1 Worldwide at a press conference in China, where he also announced that Xiaomi has 70 Million active users at the moment. Xiaomi plans to raise this number to 200 million active users in 2015, so they plan to sell a further incredible 100 Million Smartphones for the next year.

What do you think of Lei Jun’s Claim? Is it realistic?
