Xiaomi Technology was founded by top-notch technical talents from Google, Microsoft and Kingsoft, which specialize in developing software for smart phones such as the iPhone and Android along with mobile Internet businesses.

It has acquired venture capital from Morningside and Qiming Venture Partners, since the company began in April 2010.

The company released the Mitalk Messenger at the end of 2010 with registered users exceeding three million within just half a year.

The company developed the MIUI, a customized firmware for mobile phones and its product, Xiaomi Phone.

The Mitalk Messenger, Xiaomi Phone and MIUI remain the three core products of the company.
