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.

Vivo X300 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 Ultra, we put two of the best phones of 2026 in photography face to face

by

If you value the photographic section of a mobile phone above the rest, this year we are seeing very good proposals. Therefore, now that we have a greater variety of phones, we are going to take the opportunity to put two of the most notable of this year face to face: the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Vivo X300 Ultra. Vivo X300 Ultra (1 TB) – Photography kit The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The price could vary. We earn commission from these links The differences between the Vivo X300 Ultra and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Camera configurations Before getting into the matter, it is advisable that we take into account which sensors come in each of the mobile phones. Furthermore, it may not be the biggest claim, but we will also mention the front sensor in each case. Vivo X300 Ultra 50 MP front camera, f/2.45. Rear camera module: 200 MP main sensor, f/1.85, OIS. 200 MP telephoto, f/2.67, OIS. 50 MP wide angle, f/2.0, FOV 123.4º, OIS. Xiaomi 17 Ultra 50 MP front camera, f/2.2. Rear camera module: 50 MP main sensor, f/1.7, OIS. 200 MP telephoto, f/2.4 – 3.0, 3.2x to 4.3x, OIS. 50 MP wide angle, f/2.2. main sensor Perhaps the most attractive thing about this section is the difference in megapixels in both main sensors. The Vivo X300 Ultra has 200 MP and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra with 50 MP. Is one better than the other? Well the truth is that no. To give you an idea, having more megapixels is relevant especially when we want to crop an image, since what we want is to be able to enlarge it without losing too much detail. But it is not the only thing we should focus on, because megapixels do not really equal image quality. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra has a one-inch sensor, being the largest on the current mobile market. This means it can capture much more light, offer truer colors and a much more natural blur effect. In this way, the Vivo It is also especially relevant to stop at the focal aperturebecause it is different in both cases. The Vivo mobile phone offers an f/1.85 aperture while the Xiaomi phone has an f/1.67 aperture. The lower the number, the more light enters through the lens, which makes for better photos in low-light conditions. Telephoto lens In the telephoto sensor there are many points to discuss. First of all, both brands are betting on 200 MP sensors, which, as we have already mentioned, serves above all to not lose so much detail when enlarging an image to crop it. In the focal aperture of this sensor we do find differences and some other peculiarities. The aperture of the Vivo is f/2.67 while that of the Xiaomi is f/2.4 – 3.0. And… what does this mean? The Xiaomi 17 Ultra can vary its focal aperture between f/2.4 and f/3.0, which allows it to adapt to different light conditions automatically. We must also point out something important and that is that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra allows you to vary between 75 and 100 mm through zoom, which allows you to change between 3.2x and 4.3x. This previously had an impact on the image quality, but the mobile processing works very well, so it is practically not so noticeable. In addition, we also have a 200 mm, which is a sensor cutout, which approaches optical quality. ultra wide angle camera In both cases we find two 50 MP ultra-wide-angle sensors, so they offer the same detail. What does vary is the focal aperture: the Vivo’s (f/2.0) is more open than the Xiaomi’s (f/2.2), so more light will enter and it can perform better in difficult conditions. The attractive thing about the Xiaomi 17 Ultra is that it offers a 115º field of viewwhich means you can capture more information in a single photo. However, our recommendation is that to take close-up photos, we move away a little and take them at 100 mm and crop the image. The result is much better. The accessories Both phones have their respective photographic kits; However, they are very different. Xiaomi is betting on an accessory that, in general terms, is a case with a battery and physical controls to take photographs. There are two with different prices, with the most expensive being the one with the most controls. On the other hand, the Vivo X300 Ultra comes with a much more attractive photographic kit, since in this comparison it is the only one that has a teleconverter. In this case, it is 400 millimeters and, although it works well for photographing at long distances, we loved the quality it offers in portraits. Prices Price is a key factor when choosing a mobile phone and here we are going to find a big difference. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra (512 GB) is on sale right now for a price of 1,249 euroswithout the photographic kit. On the other hand, the Vivo X300 Ultra (1 TB) can currently only be purchased with the photographic kit, so the price shoots up to 2,399 euros. To understand the price difference between both phonesthe Xiaomi is located by 1,249 euros without kit. If we wanted the photographic kit, we would have to pay additionally 280 euros for Photography Kit Pro or 116 euros for the Photography Kit. The first has more buttons and a larger battery to function as a powerbank. On the other hand, the Vivo X300 Ultra comes with the photography kit included in the price of 2,399 euros. That is, in addition to the mobile phone we find a Vivo ZEISS Gen 2 Ultra teleconverter with an equivalent focal length of 400 mm, a grip with an integrated battery to function as a powerbank and an adapter ring for a tripod. In summary: In any case, we are talking about two mobile phones with very powerful photographic sections. It is difficult to assess which is better and which … Read more

Xiaomi has been in the automobile market for a couple of years (although it is still we are waiting for your arrival in Europe), and in contrast to what the brand offers in other areas such as smartphones, the company wants to position itself rather high in the price table of its cars. Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, confirmed during a live broadcast on April 17 that the brand has no intention of launching electric vehicles below 100,000 yuan (about 12,500 euros) in the coming years. Here, as expected from the figures, he talks about the Chinese market. Communication. Lei Jun made these statements during a live autonomy test in which he drove a new generation SU7 Pro from Beijing to Shanghai (1,265 kilometers) with a single stop to charge. On the way, he took the opportunity to chat with the chat, a calculated communication strategy that has been noticed. Luckily, during the talk, we were able to find very interesting statements from the head of the brand himself and get an idea of ​​his roadmap. No to the cheap car. According to counted Jun during the broadcast, today’s competitive electric cars increasingly depend on intelligent driving systems, and that type of technology has a high cost that does not fit with a sales price below that barrier of 100,000 yuan in China. According to collect the media CarNewsChina, Lei himself recognized that the new generation of the SU7 It accumulates more than 100 improvements compared to the previous model, with an increase in material costs of almost 20,000 yuan, but its selling price only rose by about 4,000 yuan. For Xiaomi, the equation applied to an entry-level car simply does not add up. Where Xiaomi does want to be. The updated SU7 starts at 219,900 yuan (around 27,500 euros), and the brand’s direction points even higher, as the firm is ready to launch its SU7 Ultra which already competes in the high-performance segment, and in the not too distant future models such as the YU7 GT or a premium variant of the SU7 will also appear, according to they count from ChinaEVHome. We will have to see prices when the firm lands in Europe with its SU7, but everything indicates that Xiaomi wants to consolidate itself within the field of the mid/high range of automobiles. The Chinese car is not synonymous with cheap. Xiaomi is not the only one that avoids the price war in the entry segment. He Xiaopeng, president of XPeng, declared during the presentation of MONA M03 that his company also has no plans to go below that 100,000 yuan threshold. Among the reasons it gave were too tight margins, unsustainable investment in smart technology and real risk of a destructive price spiral. What the numbers say. Sales data in China reinforce this reading. And it is that according to figures collected by CarNewsChina, entry-level electric cars, such as the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV or the BYD Seagull (Dolphin Surf here in Spain), registered year-on-year falls of almost 58% in the first months of 2026, partly due to the end of tax exemptions on purchases. The sedan and utility vehicle segment as a whole also fell almost 20% year-on-year in March. The volume is there, but the profitability is not. Promises. All in all, Lei Jun left a door ajar in the long term. Their goal is for Xiaomi to be among the five largest car manufacturers in the world. Reaching that scale would, sooner or later, require greater price coverage. But for this scenario to come true, there still seems to be time.

Xiaomi, NIO and Xpeng welcome families as if they were museums

by

In China they are genuinely proud of what they are achieving with their automobile industry. Beyond its domestic market we have been living for years how they are transforming the sector with their new energy cars. So much so, that their factories even They have become a popular destination of school excursions. And just as share Since Baiguan, it is increasingly common for families to get up early, get in the car and drive dozens of kilometers to one of their manufacturing plants. The phenomenon has turned Xiaomi, NIO or Xpeng factories into aspirational destinations, with long waiting lists and even people reselling their place as if it were a concert. TOeducational entity with its own name. In China there is a popular term to describe the culture of how the middle class raises their children: ‘jī wá’, which can be loosely translated as “inflating the child.” This word sums up the collective pressure that many parents feel to turn every free hour into a useful, stimulating experience and, if possible, with a certificate at the end. Camps, piano lessons, private tutoring… and, for a few years now, visits to electric car assembly lines. As revealed a report by Yan Caijing signed by Mo Nai, this trend has ceased to be a curiosity and has become a mass phenomenon that combines education, marketing and some social theater. The new trendy school trip. Xiaomi was the first to understand it at scale. Since its founder Lei Jun announced in January 2024 that the Yizhuang plant in Beijing would open its doors to the public through a lottery, demand has not stopped growing. Just like account The medium, at one point, the acceptance rate fell to 0.4% per session, with barely 20 places available compared to thousands of applications. The resale of places did not take long to appear: according to account In the middle, on second-hand platforms up to 1,000 yuan were requested for a free place (about 124.62 euros at the exchange rate), without discounts or negotiation. According to published data, only in 2025 the Yizhuang factory received 130,000 visitors. NIO and Xpeng have also opened their facilities, with similar dynamics. And international brands such as BMW or Volkswagen have joined the trend from their plants in China. What the family sees when they enter. The standard tour follows a fairly established script: showroom with the latest models, walk through the production line, test drive and some manual activity, such as assembling a miniature model or building a small souvenir. Some factories even open their restaurant for visitors to eat there. In fact, the detail of eating there is an experience that can commonly be seen on the country’s social networks. Marketing. Although it may seem like a gesture of transparency or social responsibility on the part of the brands, there is a very intelligent marketing maneuver behind it, since it is an experience that costs them very little and they end up getting a lot of impact for it. That it has reached our ears and that we have written about it is the greatest proof of this. Additionally, seeing a car assembled piece by piece live creates an emotional connection that no television advertisement can match. According to they shared From Baiguan, some users on social networks acknowledged that the visit to the factory directly influenced their purchase decision. Other parents commented that they hope their children end up working in these types of companies. The visit can not only end up selling a car: it sows a brand identity that can take decades to mature. Visits to car factories are not new either. Many Spaniards have visited the SEAT in Martorell, to give an example that catches us more closely. In fact, as the media recalls, it was Citroën who, after the First World War, opened the doors of its factory to the public in France for the first time, turning the assembly line into a spectacle for the most curious. Its founder André Citroën understood before anyone else that showing how things are done is, in itself, an act of commercial seduction. What Xiaomi or NIO have done now is, in essence, the same idea applied with data, raffle algorithms and virality on social networks. And the State also plays. The phenomenon also has a political dimension. And just as share In the middle, the Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has promoted the creation of industrial tourism routes that integrate smart factories and industrial heritage into the country’s tourist circuits. In global terms, industrial tourism represents between 10 and 15% of total tourist income; in China, according to sector figures, it is still below 5%. Electric car factories, with their shiny aesthetics and robotic arms, are the perfect showcase for a narrative of technological modernity that the government is as interested in as the brands themselves.
