Recently, Qualcomm released a new high-profile talk about the future. The interviewer was Mr. Lei Jun, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Xiaomi Group. In addition to talking about the achievements of Xiaomi’s mobile phones in 2021 and the expectations of Xiaomi’s 12 series of high-end flagship phones, Lei Jun also talked about a “most treasured” photo shared with Xiaoyou and Mi Fan.
Lei Jun said that Xiaomi has been established for almost 12 years, and we have left many unforgettable moments in these years. What moved me the most was a photo of the “Xiaomi mobile phone”.

Moreover, this is a real Xiaomi phone. On the eve of the popcorn festival in 2011, Mi Fan glued a grain of millet into a Xiaomi mobile phone 1 and gave it to us. This is the most precious rice noodle gift that Xiaomi has received, and it has always been carefully treasured by us. This photo represents Xiaomi’s original intention that has not changed since its establishment – to make friends with users and to be the coolest company in the hearts of users.
We know that it is precise because of the support and trust of Mi Fans that we move forward and become today’s Xiaomi. In the future, Xiaomi and its users will always maintain this friendly relationship and become a truly great company.
Facing 2022, how does Xiaomi view innovation, and how has Xiaomi prepared for independent innovation?
Lei Jun: Let me introduce you to my friends. As of now, Xiaomi has established a technology map covering 12 major fields and 98 sub-fields, covering smartphones, smart cars, robots, software and algorithms, e-commerce, and smart manufacturing. , finance and other technologies developed and applied by Xiaomi.
Not long ago, we were just awarded the 3rd Xiaomi Million Dollar Technology Award, and the “Tidan Quadruped Bionic Robot” won this honor. This shows that Xiaomi’s technology research and development is getting deeper and deeper, covering more and more broad, and more and more imaginative.
On the tenth anniversary, I put forward three iron laws that Xiaomi will never change in the future. The first one is “technology-based”. In the past two years, Xiaomi’s R&D investment has exceeded 22 billion yuan, and the total number of engineers has exceeded 16,000.
At the Xiaomi 12 press conference, on behalf of Xiaomi Group, I officially announced that the R&D investment in the next five years will exceed 100 billion yuan, which will be used for breakthrough innovations in core technologies, and will continue to recruit outstanding engineers. I believe that as long as we continue to invest and have the courage to explore, Xiaomi will usher in more technological achievements and bring more exciting innovations to Mi Fans.
