Xiaomi India Head Manu Jain had earlier said that the recent lawsuit didn't affect them and now Hugo Barra has revealed that the company has sold over a million smartphones in India.
Xiaomin has insisted that the Ericsson case hasn’t hurt them, and if the company's latest post is accurate, then that claim may be true. Xiaomi VP Hugo Barra posted on Facebook yesterday, announcing that the company has crossed the million mark in India. Yes, according to Barra’s post, Xiaomi has now sold one million smartphones in India, in less than six months after starting operations here.
The company was recently hit with a ban enforced by the Delhi High Court, after a patent infringement case registered by Ericsson. Xiaomi was later allowed to sell its Snapdragon-powered devices in the country. India Head, Manu Jain explained that Xiaomi was able to demonstrate to the court that it had the required permits through its licensing agreement with Qualcomm.
The court case is pending a hearing on February 5 and Xiaomi has been allowed to sell its devices running on Qualcomm chipsets since then. While it has been insinuated that the company may be hurt by the initial ban, the truth is that most of its devices already run on Qualcomm chipsets. Furthermore, Xiaomi is going ahead with its product plans, announcing the Redmi Note 4G sale for December 30. In addition, Xiaomi will also be bringing the Xi aomi Mi4 to India soon.
