You may soon be able to buy Xiaomi's smartphones in Singapore. At a press conference in Taiwan, Hugo Barra, former Android vice president at Google and new VP of Xiaomi said that the island state will be the next place the Chinese handset maker is looking to expand to.
Tech In Asia reports that Barra and his team visited Singapore a few weeks ago and are trying to set up operations there as quickly as possible. Barra also added that Singapore's an "important hub in the region," and while no exact date was given, the company has plans to start business in Singapore in early 2014.
Xiaomi's handsets have been ridiculously popular in China, they usually sell out within minutes of being put up for sale on its Web site. Its handsets, in particularly the newest flagship, the Xiaomi MiPhone 3, pack speedy hardware at really low prices.
The company currently only sells its handsets in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. With Singapore next, it looks like Southeast Asia will be the next region Xiaomi will be focus on.
