In an interview on June 16, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, highlighted the remarkable strides Xiaomi has made in design, quality, and user experience. He underscored that "Technology-driven and high-end leadership" remains the company's core strategy. Specifically addressing the recently unveiled Xuanjie O1 chip, Lei Jun lauded it as a pivotal milestone for Xiaomi. The Xuanjie O1, a cutting-edge 3-nanometer SOC, is produced by only four companies globally, with Xiaomi being the sole mainland Chinese representative among them.

Lei Jun disclosed that Xiaomi embarked on the development of the Xuanjie O1 over 4.5 years ago, investing a substantial 13.5 billion yuan in the project. Since its entry into the chip industry in 2014, Xiaomi has been committed for over a decade. Emphasizing the importance of long-term investment in the chip industry, Lei Jun noted that the launch of the Xuanjie O1 is merely the starting point. Xiaomi intends to sustain its investments over the next 5 to 10 years, aiming to achieve a self-sustaining business model in the sector.
