Xiaomi beats Google?

A few months ago I hadn’t heard from them.

Now they seem to become a threat to Google.

This company just started and is number 3 in the world of smartphones, just after Samsung and Apple!

And do you know its name?

Xiaomi is conquering the world!

Xiaomi released its first smartphone in August 2011. Since then they have become the number one smartphone seller in China with over 60 million phones in 2014. The company has a value of 46 billion USD and its CEO is Lei Jun, China’s 23rd richest person according to Forbes.

This week the Information’s Amir Efrati stated that several Android Employees at Google warned for the possible thread of Xiaomi to Google. Xiaomi encourages Android phones owners to use the Xiaomi apps instead of Googles pre-installed apps. Xiaomi users are surpassing the Google app store, one of the biggest money machines from Google.

Xiaomi is currently focusing on the Chinese and Asian market. When Xiaomi enters the western market Efrati reports this could spell trouble to Google. Google will lose its positions for its own apps on prominent places on Android phones. Google benefit from these positions because Android is open source. These spots generate traffic and income.

According to the Data from Strategy Analytics published by Bloomberg in 2013, Samsung actually makes more money from Android than Google does.

Google’s apps and services however are featured on every Android phone. Users are being hooked into Google apps like Google Search and Gmail.
