Given that Xiaomi's mascot is a Tu (rabbit that is commonly used to denote a youth rabbit) and dressed up as a Communist Party Youth, the Millet and Rifle slogan is boosted not only by the Millet name but Xiaomi's new processor is called Rifle, isn't it clear that Xiaomi's name is from the Millet and Rifle revolutionary slogan during the anti-Japanese war? -- 118.165.6.150 ( talk) 20:47, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

"The company currently hires over 3000 employees and is mainly set up in mainland China, Malaysia" Is that supposed to be "employs" 3000 or hires 3000 annually? If it can't be explained it should be removed as hearsay. Looking at the reference listed, nothing in that article says anything about how many employees they have, hire, or hire annually.
I have made the changes proposed by Tobus2 and agreed upon by the editors involved. The only outstanding issue as far as I can see is the removal of the excessive maintenance tags at the top of the article. I propose those are removed unless any other issues are surfaced?

I also think the sentence "In August 2013 the company announced that it was hiring Hugo Barra from Google where he served as vice president of product management for the Android platform, after the revelation that Google co-founder Sergey Brin was in a relationship with Barra's ex-girlfriend", while factually correct and properly referenced, is rather unfair since there is no actual evidence that Barra's move from Google is linked to Brin's relationship with Barra's former partner. While that issue may be mentioned, I think it is being given too much prominence. Eduard Grebe ( talk) 08:07, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Revised this section, removing phrases such as "after the revelation that" and "the unfortunate timing of the thorny situation", both in violation of WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP. The innumerable sources - mostly blogs repeating the same story - are redundant and make the section difficult to read; added Vanity Fair source which examines the subject comprehensively. There is a bigger issue, however: while the hiring of Hugo Barra should be included under 'Criticisms and controversies'(because it was most certainly newsworthy), Hugo Barra himself is already in innumerable and more recent newsworthy articles that relate very directly to Xiaomi but have nothing to do with either his hiring or any controversy. For this reason, the focus in this section has to be isolated to the specific aspect of Barra's hiring that was considered controversial: the fact that another Google exec was in a relationship with his ex-girlfriend. The controversy wasn't the only newsworthy component of the hiring, either; from a business perspective it was widely considered a major coup in the industry, and that is the story proving to have lasting merit: Xiaomi was the first Chinese smartphone maker to hire a top executive from Google; Hugo Barra's role in Xiaomi's expansion internationally is very significant; Xiaomi is growing at an exponential rate with a business model that disrupts industry stalwarts like Google and Apple. We need to make sure all of these things are included in a balanced narrative. I don't think this portion should be titled 'Hugo Barra', perhaps 'Hiring of Hugo Barra'?

"Xiaomi sells over 2,000 products under the Mi Ecosystem label" [8] -- Emir of Wikipedia ( talk) 21:34, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Xiaomi invested in many 'Notable' companies with all having their own products (Gadgets) on the market.
Yeelight - Bulbs, lightstrips, ceilinglamps etc Huami - Watches Viomi - Fridges, Washing machines etc Roborock - Robovacs Roidmi - car accessories, handheld vacuums Above mentioned companies are just a small selection of over 70 subsidiaries.
On the www there is a lot of confusion as many think all product are produced by Xiaomi.
Wouldn't it be a good contribution to create individual pages for some subsidiaries?

"Xiaomi is also the fourth company in the world after Apple, Samsung and Huawei to have self-developed mobile system-on-chip (SoC) capabilities.[4]" - There is nothing in the source about being the 4th company on the world to do it. And it is plain wrong. Xiaomi is not even in the dozen of firsts to do it. Remember Qualcomm, RockChip, Allwiner, Nokia, MediaTek, ARM, Broadcom, ST Micro, NXP, TI, Intel, etc, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.192.217 ( talk) 15:13, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
In the section "Censorship", the article presents claims by the Lithuanian Ministery of National Defense that Xiaomi phones contain censorship software, including in the browser app, listing a number of supposedly censored terms that seem likely to be censored on the Chinise internet. It was suggested that this list was or might be used to censor users' communication and web browsing. This article on XDA Developers shows (convincingly, I would say – do you agree?) that that news story was quite exaggerated: In China, Xiaomi operates an advertisement platform that serves ads within some of its Android system apps, such as the browser, and also in the notification bar. This "feature" is not activated outside of China. In the past, that platform served many ads that were deemed inappropriate, and for this purpose a blacklist of terms was introduced that serves solely to filter these undesired ads. Besides terms like "Taiwan independence" and "Free Tibet", the list also included many unpolitical phrases that are sexually suggestive or relate to the products of competitors.
The problem is that most media covered the sensationalist story about Xiaomi phones posing dangers to users, but the more accurate story was only featured on tech blogs like XDA. These are not reliable sources for the purpose of Wikipedia. At the same time, we know that the section as it is right now is grossly misleading to the reader. What should we do? I think that it might be best to remove the whole paragraph (since the real story is not even very interesting), but maybe you have other ideas as well. 黄雨伞 ( talk) 08:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
I'd suggest to add that the German Federal Office for Information Security launched an investigation after the allegations from Lithuania, and didn't find any evidence for the claims.

In the Wikipedia page on Xiaomi (Xiaomi) there is a sentence
'Xiaomi keeps its prices close to its Economy of Costa Rica and bill of materials costs by keeping most of its products in the market for 18 months, longer than most smartphone companies, The company also uses inventory optimization and Deal of the day to keep its inventory low.'
In this sentence, I think that the reference to the 'Economy of Costa Rica' is an error and should be fixed. I have never done this before so I wanted to know if it is fine that I did it.

Someone previously removed this section from the article, and I restored it since it was sourced and the removal was not explained. It was just removed again so I'm opening up a discussion here.
I think I "technically" could revert again under the Russo-Ukrainian War general sanctions (because the IP-address editors are not extended-confirmed), but this may be giving undue weight so I'd rather not push it. I'm wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this section. Anon126 ( notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 09:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
One can find the discussed paragraph here:
After the beginning of Russian invasion of Ukraine Xiaomi reported the suspension of operations in Russia, but in July 2022, Xiaomi and its sub-brand POCO together held 42% of the Russian smartphone market, ranking first in terms of sales. [1] On 13 April 2023 Xiaomi Corporation and 13 Xiaomi officials (responsible key management), namely Lei Jun, Lin Bin, Lu Weibing, Liu De, Zhang Feng, Zeng Xuezhong, Yan Kesheng, Lam Sai Wai Alain, Zhu Dan, Wang Xiaoyan, Qu Heng, Ma Ji, Yu Man, were listed by Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) on their list of "international sponsors of war" [2] because the company continued its operations in Russia after Russia's invasion and remained a leader in smartphone sales there.

Can this company still be called a "start-up" when it has been operating for around nine years already? Surely it's "established" now, not a "start-up"? —DIV ( 120.18.184.95 ( talk) 00:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC))
This might be a issue, for that I am going to merge the article to fix the problem!! NotTfue123 (Talk) 06:28, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
Maybe this is some house style I don't know about but I've never seen a Wikipedia article bold a phrase like this. Is there some reason behind it? It reads like an advert to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zemnmez ( talk • contribs) 20:14, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

"Xiaomi is also the fourth company in the world after Apple, Samsung and Huawei to have self-developed mobile system-on-chip (SoC) capabilities.[4]" - There is nothing in the source about being the 4th company on the world to do it. And it is plain wrong. Xiaomi is not even in the dozen of firsts to do it. Remember Qualcomm, RockChip, Allwiner, Nokia, MediaTek, ARM, Broadcom, ST Micro, NXP, TI, Intel, etc, etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.249.192.217 ( talk) 15:13, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
In the section "Censorship", the article presents claims by the Lithuanian Ministery of National Defense that Xiaomi phones contain censorship software, including in the browser app, listing a number of supposedly censored terms that seem likely to be censored on the Chinise internet. It was suggested that this list was or might be used to censor users' communication and web browsing. This article on XDA Developers shows (convincingly, I would say – do you agree?) that that news story was quite exaggerated: In China, Xiaomi operates an advertisement platform that serves ads within some of its Android system apps, such as the browser, and also in the notification bar. This "feature" is not activated outside of China. In the past, that platform served many ads that were deemed inappropriate, and for this purpose a blacklist of terms was introduced that serves solely to filter these undesired ads. Besides terms like "Taiwan independence" and "Free Tibet", the list also included many unpolitical phrases that are sexually suggestive or relate to the products of competitors.
The problem is that most media covered the sensationalist story about Xiaomi phones posing dangers to users, but the more accurate story was only featured on tech blogs like XDA. These are not reliable sources for the purpose of Wikipedia. At the same time, we know that the section as it is right now is grossly misleading to the reader. What should we do? I think that it might be best to remove the whole paragraph (since the real story is not even very interesting), but maybe you have other ideas as well. 黄雨伞 ( talk) 08:38, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
I'd suggest to add that the German Federal Office for Information Security launched an investigation after the allegations from Lithuania, and didn't find any evidence for the claims.

In the Wikipedia page on Xiaomi (Xiaomi) there is a sentence
'Xiaomi keeps its prices close to its Economy of Costa Rica and bill of materials costs by keeping most of its products in the market for 18 months, longer than most smartphone companies, The company also uses inventory optimization and Deal of the day to keep its inventory low.'
In this sentence, I think that the reference to the 'Economy of Costa Rica' is an error and should be fixed. I have never done this before so I wanted to know if it is fine that I did it.

Someone previously removed this section from the article, and I restored it since it was sourced and the removal was not explained. It was just removed again so I'm opening up a discussion here.
I think I "technically" could revert again under the Russo-Ukrainian War general sanctions (because the IP-address editors are not extended-confirmed), but this may be giving undue weight so I'd rather not push it. I'm wondering if anyone else has thoughts on this section. Anon126 ( notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 09:34, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
One can find the discussed paragraph here:
After the beginning of Russian invasion of Ukraine Xiaomi reported the suspension of operations in Russia, but in July 2022, Xiaomi and its sub-brand POCO together held 42% of the Russian smartphone market, ranking first in terms of sales. [1] On 13 April 2023 Xiaomi Corporation and 13 Xiaomi officials (responsible key management), namely Lei Jun, Lin Bin, Lu Weibing, Liu De, Zhang Feng, Zeng Xuezhong, Yan Kesheng, Lam Sai Wai Alain, Zhu Dan, Wang Xiaoyan, Qu Heng, Ma Ji, Yu Man, were listed by Ukraine's National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) on their list of "international sponsors of war" [2] because the company continued its operations in Russia after Russia's invasion and remained a leader in smartphone sales there. [2] [3] [4]
I believe this is an essential part in the «Legal actions» section of the article, and it is properly sourced. -- Perohanych ( talk) 13:01, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Xiaomi has recently released their new OS, HyperOS, and there should be a seperate article for it. If there is a draft article, could someone send the link for me? Ndplinhdam ( talk) 16:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
