Xiaomi is a name that is considered an enthusiasts brand across the world. The company has been making great strides internationally and a few years ago, this Chinese-based Apple-killer started a global expansion.

This global expansion saw Xiaomi’s brand expand from their home market of China and other Asian markets like India where they had dominated into new territories such as Africa.

The company’s expansion into this swiftly growing market hasn’t been easy with issues of delayed availability and few devices being top on the list. Well, things seem to be changing for the better. This first came with the announcement, back in January, that Xiaomi was officially entering the African market with the launch of a regional office.
