There is a division of Xiaomi that no one pays attention to. It is exactly the one that is paying for the party of mobile phones, AI and cars

by

Xiaomi is no longer just a smartphone company; It is a conglomerate of four large divisions that support and feed each other to compete in an increasingly aggressive market. The surprise is that financially the division that generates the least attention is the one that is paying for the other three. The results for the first quarter of 2026 They make it clear: boring business is pure profit. Four companies in oneto. Xiaomi’s current structure settles in four large pillars that are also notably different from each other. Smartphones with the brand that ended up becoming popular globally remain critical to preserving the user base. Then there are internet services (advertising, Mi Cloud), which complete the Apple-style mobile ecosystem. The electric car and AI make up another pillar that fascinates and demonstrates the firm’s ambition in these new areas. And finally there is the IoT division, which a priori seems the least notable, but is much more so than anyone would think. Services, services, services. As we said, mobile phones are Xiaomi’s hallmark, but its profitability comes hand in hand with internet services, which operate with an astonishing gross profit margin of 76.1%. As with Apple, here Xiaomi takes advantage of its almost 750 million active users with advertising, subscriptions and cloud services integrated into its HyperOS mobile operating system. It is a profitable vicious circle: IoT and mobile phones are Trojan horses that manage to put the user into a digital ecosystem in which they end up spending money. Blessed IoT. And despite the fact that it receives less media attention, the gross margin of the IoT division reached a spectacular 25.2% in the first quarter of 2026 according to the company’s financial results. This number is much higher than the 10.1% generated by smartphones, which have logically been punished by the memory crisis. In fact, the gross profit of the IoT division has been 6.2 billion RMB, much higher than the 4.5 billion of the mobile division. The latter bills much more, but it does not shine as much in those gross profits. Refrigerators triumph. The president of Xiaomi’s IoT division, Lu Weibing, explained that the role of this business is key in the Xiaomi group, because it is “a very important balancer” against the impact of the increase in memory costs in the rest of the divisions. Company officials expect this “cost supercycle” (or in other words, the memory crisis) to last until 2028, and that will continue to complicate the mobile division’s margins. Sell ​​less, but more expensive. The escalation of component costs has made Xiaomi make a drastic decision: sell less, but more expensive. The distributed smartphone units they fell 19.2%, but its average selling price reached a record figure of 1,310 RMB, 8% more than in the same quarter of 2025. Xiaomi has a 23.5% share of premium smartphones in mainland China, and makes it clear that the focus is now on super high-end mobile phones. “Premiumization” of the home. The strategy of selling more expensive is also being applied notably in the IoT division, which includes household appliancesand which has also adopted a “premiumization” strategy. Instead of just distributing third-party products, the company is developing its own high-end air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines. This has allowed IoT gross margin to rise 5.1 percentage points in just one quarter. AI price war. The launch of its own AI model, MiMoit was already a surprise, but these days the firm has announced that cut the prices of its API by up to 99% (there are technical arguments) in order to compete with rivals like DeepSeek. This model is at the level of the best Chinese open models, but the company itself has not yet achieved the objectives they seek. As with other AI startups, the costs are massive, so this division of Xiaomi depends on the cash flow generated by the rest of the businesses. Cars impress, but they lose money. The division that brings together electric cars and AI did not have a good quarter and lost 3.1 billion RMB. The new Xiaomi Su 7 has been a success in number of reservations (80,000), but operating expenses for this part of the business have risen 45.8%, too much to be offset by the revenue growth of this division. Xiaomi is the new Samsung. Xiaomi He was born looking very similar (or aspiring to be very similar) to Apple, but currently its structure and strategy are much more similar to that of Samsung. Its advantage is that it currently has an ecosystem with more than 1.1 billion IoT devices that allow it to grow and invest in cars, AI or mobile phones. The problem is what happens if the cushion provided by the benefits of the IoT division deflates.

From that moment until next June 10, we will have more than a week to take advantage of all the offers that AliExpress will launch. Now, what happens? That the discount coupons probably won’t last until thenso it is better to buy what we are looking for as soon as possible. These discount coupons, active from the moment the Summer Promo begins, are the following: Discount minimum purchase coupon 1 coupon 3 coupon 4 COUPON 3 euros 15 euros XATAKAES03 WEBEDES03 ESSS03 SSES03 6 euros 39 euros XATAKAES06 WEBEDES06 ESSS06 SSES6 10 euros 69 euros XATAKAES10 WEBEDES10 ESSS10 SSES10 20 euros 139 euros XATAKAES20 WEBEDES20 ESSS20 SSES20 30 euros 209 euros XATAKAES30 WEBEDES30 ESSS30 SSES30 45 euros 319 euros XATAKAES45 WEBEDES45 ESSS45 SSES45 65 euros 459 euros XATAKAES65 WEBEDES65 ESSS65 SSES65 110 euros 650 euros XATAKAES110 WEBEDES110 ESSS110 – As you can see, we have several coupons available, even within the same amount. These have only two limitations: we cannot use them in virtual products nor can we mix them together. If we use a code (for example, 65 euros), we will not be able to use another one. In that sense, it is always best to use the one with the greatest discount. With these, the savings are already considerable, but it is not the only way we have to save. In addition to these coupons, we will take an additional discount if we use PayPal as a payment method. This discount will depend on the amount of our purchase: 8 euros discount on minimum purchases of 100 euros. 20 euros discount on minimum purchases of 199 euros. 33 euros discount on minimum purchases of 299 euros. Knowing all this, what we have to do now is prepare for the promo. The discount coupons are spent as they are used, so the ideal is to buy what we want as soon as possible. So how do we do this? Basically, it is a simple process divided into two parts: create an AliExpress account if we don’t already have it and put what we want in the cart before the Summer Promo starts. Thus, once the promo starts, the purchasing process is even faster.

Chinese manufacturers of OLED panels for mobile phones face an enemy they did not expect: memory shortages

by

Chinese companies whose business is based to a greater or lesser extent on the manufacture of OLED panels for mobile phones They are suffering. BOE, Visionox, Tianma or TCL CSOT are some of the companies that the shortage of memory chips has placed in a very delicate position. In fact, the market for OLED matrices for smartphones is going through its worst quarter in years, according to DigiTimes Asia. Global shipments fell 12% year-on-year and 20% compared to the previous quarter during the first quarter of 2026, according to data managed by the consulting firm. UBI Research. A priori it might surprise us that the memory market is degrading the business of Chinese manufacturers of small format OLED panels, but if we dig beyond the surface it is easy to understand precisely what is happening. And what is happening is that Android mobile phone manufacturers are buying many fewer organic matrix screens from their Chinese suppliers because they need to offset the increase in memory prices by reducing the cost of the screen. This scenario mainly affects entry- and mid-range Android smartphones, which are the ones that mostly opted for moderately priced OLED matrices manufactured in China. High-end Android terminals and iPhones usually have OLED screens from Samsung Display or LG Display, although Apple also uses BOE for some models. South Korean manufacturers are taking this blow much better The origin of this problem lies in a decision made by SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron Technology, the three companies that control more than 95% of global DRAM productiona year ago. The rise of data centers for artificial intelligence (IA) has skyrocketed the demand for HBM memories (High Bandwidth Memory) that coexist with GPUs. For the three large memory manufacturers, HBM chips leave a greater margin than conventional DRAM memories, which is why they have focused on the production of the former and have largely sacrificed the latter. The most surprising thing is that this situation has triggered an asymmetric problem This strategy has caused the price of DRAM and NAND memories to increase sharply, but the most surprising thing is that this situation has triggered an asymmetric problem. As we have seen, sales of Chinese OLED panel manufacturers have fallen, but Samsung Display and LG Display are taking the hit very well. And they are doing it because their most important customers are Apple and Samsung Electronics. These two mobile phone manufacturers work with wide margins and have agreed long-term supply contracts with Samsung Display and LG Display, which gives them greater room for maneuver. At the moment they have not been forced to cut the cost of their screens. Be that as it may, market shares during the first quarter of 2026 speak for themselves, according to Korea Herald. Samsung Display led the global market for OLED panels for smartphones with a share of 44.4%, up from 42.8% in the same period in 2025. LG Display reached 9%, rising from 7.6%. Both gained quota despite the fact that its absolute shipments also fell. Among Chinese companies the picture was mixed: BOE maintained the largest Chinese share at 16.3%, and Visionox rose to 10.7% from 9.3%. Tianma fell to 9% from 12.1%, and lastly, TCL CSOT fell to 7.8% from 9.8%. Image | Xataka More information | DigiTimes Asia | Korea Herald In Xataka | The US remains committed to stopping China. Now it has targeted the second largest Chinese chip manufacturer
