Has Xiaomi set the standards for branded products?

Tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of the release of Xiaomi mobile phone. To celebrate this occasion, Xiaomi officially launched a collection activity called "The Story of Me and Xiaomi Mobile Phone".

As the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, Lei Jun naturally took the lead. He posted a Weibo to share his story with Xiaomi phones. Lei Jun said: "The original intention of founding Xiaomi was because I like digital products very much. I have changed 60 mobile phones in more than ten years. I especially want to make a domestic smart phone that I like and think is cool. When the first generation of Xiaomi phones could make calls, I was really excited like hearing my child's first cry. It was the most unforgettable moment in my entrepreneurial process. On August 16, 2011, Xiaomi 1 was released in Beijing 798. I still remember that the press conference speech was 96 pages long. The scene was full of enthusiastic Mi fans. As the main speaker, I almost couldn't squeeze into the venue. The popularity exceeded all of our imaginations. With the participation and promotion of Xiaomi, China's copycat phones have been completely eliminated; China's smart phones and smart hardware are getting better and better in quality and more affordable. The world has changed a little bit because of Xiaomi!"

Huang Wang, founder and CEO of Huami Technology, forwarded Lei Jun's Weibo post and talked about his story with Xiaomi phones. Huang Wang said: "My first Xiaomi phone was the mi2s that Lei Jun gave me in his office when I first met him. Six years have passed and I still have it. If Xiaomi hadn't defeated the knockoffs, the entire Chinese consumer electronics industry might still be a three-way battle between knockoffs, domestic brands, and international brands. Xiaomi basically set a standard: what is a branded product."

So do you agree with Huang Wang’s evaluation of Xiaomi phones?
