Название компании Xiaomi многие пользователи читают совершенно по-разному. Наиболее распространенные варианты – это Сяоми, Ксиаоми, Шаоми и даже Ксяоми и Сиоми. Какой же из этих вариантов правильный и как читать Xiaomi по-русски разберемся в нашей статье.
Во всем мире, включая Китай, название бренда на английском пишется как Xiaomi, однако в зависимости от конкретного языка и даже диалекта название в различных уголках мира произносится совершенно по-разному.
Как читать Xiaomi?
Для того чтобы ответить на данный вопрос, следует обратиться к написанию бренда иероглифами. В Китае применяется два иероглифа для обозначения компании:
- 小 – Xiǎo, читается как «сяо»;
- 米 – mǐ (ми).
Это означает, что сами китайцы слышат название как «Сяоми», а ударение приходится на последний слог. Кстати, российские лингвисты считают, что именно этот вариант считается правильным. Кстати, данные иероглифы можно перевести как «маленький рис».
Как произносится Xiaomi на английском языке?
Однако большинство пользователей по всему миру читают название популярного китайского бренда с английского языка, чем и объясняется наличие множество вариантов произношения. Так, большинство англоязычных пользователей считает, что правильный вариант – «Ксиаоми», что связано с особенностями чтения буквы «X». Аналог можно провести с название компании Xerox, которая звучит «Ксерокс».
В то же время многие англоязычные люди читают «X» как русскую «З», поэтому в США вполне можно услышать и название «Зиаоми». С точки же зрения русского языка при чтении бренда с английского Xiaomi правильно читается как «Ксиаоми».
В итоге можно сделать вывод о том, что для Xiaomi оптимальными вариантами произношения на русском языке являются два варианта – «Сяоми» с ударением на «и» и Ксиаоми, если читать название с английского языка.
Сегодня поговорим о том, как произносится «Xiaomi», что означает перевод названия китайской компании на русский язык и куда ставится ударение в слове.

Как читается Xiaomi
На китайском языке слово Xiaomi пишется двумя иероглифами 小米. Что касается транскрипции, то эти иероглифы читаются как 小 – Xiǎo [сяо] и 米 – mǐ [ми]. В итоге получается слово Сяоми с ударением на последний слог.
Русскоговорящим людям произносить слово с ударением на последнюю гласную «И» достаточно непривычно, поэтому ударение как-то само переместилось на вторую гласную «О», что вполне допускается, хотя и не совсем корректно.
Правильно произносить именно Сяоми или Ксяоми тоже допустимо? В китайском языке буква X читается не как «икс» или «экс». Поэтому называть компанию «Ксиаоми» некорректно.
Как переводится Xiaomi на русский язык
С переводом Xiaomi на русский язык тоже не всё просто. Согласно официальным словарям китайского языка, слово переводится как «маленькая рисинка» и пишется при помощи двух иероглифов 小米, которые латинским алфавитом можно прописать, как xiao и mi. В некоторых вариациях перевод можно трактовать как «рисовое зёрнышко».
Хотя причём здесь рис не совсем понятно, ведь речь идёт о технологическом гиганте Поднебесной, а не о заливных полях Маньчжурии. Возможно, так компания хотела увеличить свою значимость, ведь рис для китайцев как хлеб насущный.
Однако вероятна и такая трактовка, согласно которой нужно много трудиться для того, чтобы получить желаемое. Это и символизирует метафизическое рисовое зёрнышко. Учитывая какое гигантское количество смартфонов (каталог) компания выпускает на рынок, трудятся они в соответствии с названием.
Президент Xiaomi Лэй Цзюнь высказался по поводу перевода недвусмысленно. Он заявил, что в основе названия компании лежит буддистская концепция, согласно которой Xiao – это огромное зерно риса, размером с Фудзияму или даже Джомолунгму. Глава Xiaomi конкретно дал понять, что считает свою компанию великой.
В пределах Китая оно так и есть, однако до показателей мировых гигантов индустрии ей пока ещё далеко. Но если «огромное рисовое зёрнышко размером с гору» будет продолжать в том же духе, то скоро станет главным производителем смартфонов в мире.
Перевод Redmi на русский
С названием суббренда Redmi тоже весьма интересная ситуация, ведь под этим лейблом выпускают доступные телефоны с неплохими характеристиками.
Согласно правилам китайского языка, название состоит из двух частей — red и mi. Причём Red взято с английского, что означает «красный», а mi – это всё тот же рис. Получается «красный рис», что достаточно необычно, хоть и непонятно, что именно сподвигло китайцев на создание такого бренда.
Вероятно, здесь есть какая-то отсылка к коммунистическому строю, который сейчас используется в Китае и к всесильной Компартии. Не зря ведь маскот Xiaomi и Redmi – заяц в ушанке с красной звездой (его можно увидеть, включив на телефоне режим Fastboot).
Маскот Xiaomi.

Redmi is a subsidiary company owned by the Chinese electronics company Xiaomi. It was first announced in July 2013 as a budget smartphone line,[1] and became a separate sub-brand of Xiaomi in 2019 with entry-level and mid-range devices, while Xiaomi itself produces upper-range and flagship Xiaomi (formerly Mi) phones. Redmi phones use the Xiaomi’s MIUI user interface on top of Android. Models are divided into the entry-level Redmi, the mid-range Redmi Note, and the high-end Redmi K. In addition, the unrelated Mi A Android One series is also positioned in the similar market segment with Redmi devices, despite being part of the upper-range Xiaomi Mi lineup. The most significant difference from other Xiaomi smartphones is that they use less-expensive components and thus have lower prices while retaining higher specifications. In August 2014, The Wall Street Journal reported that in the second quarter of the 2014 fiscal year, Xiaomi had a market share of 4% of smartphone shipment rankings in China.[2] Redmi sales were attributed as a contributing factor toward this gain in shipment rankings.[2]
Redmi is set to bring another new smartphone lineup in the budget segment in India very soon. The company has teased the new Redmi A1 smartphone which is likely to focus on the entry-level segment.
Redmi already has the regular Redmi 10a series in the same price range, but it seems the brand will give the Redmi A1 a different twist by offering it a stock Android experience.[3]
History[edit]
2013[edit]
The first Redmi phone Hongmi (Red Rice in Mandarin), released in China in 2013, was first launched on Xiaomi’s website, with consumer sales beginning on 12 July 2013. The phone was internationally released under the Redmi brand in early 2014.[4][5]
2014[edit]
On 13 March 2014, Redmi announced that their phones had been sold out in Singapore alone, eight minutes[6] after being made available to buy on Xiaomi’s website. Criticism regarding the release of Redmi phones included the notion that the firm may be exaggerating its sales by releasing them in small batches, causing them to quickly sell out.[7]
On 4 August 2014, The Wall Street Journal reported that in China’s smartphone market, Xiaomi overtook Samsung in the second quarter of the 2014 fiscal year with a 14% market share in smartphone shipment rankings, while Samsung had a 12% market share during this time.[8] Yulong and Lenovo both had a 12% market share during this time.[2] Redmi sales were attributed as contributing to Xiaomi’s increased shipment rankings in the smartphone market.[2] Conversely, in the first quarter of 2014, Xiaomi held a 10.7% market share.[2]

Название компании Xiaomi многие пользователи читают совершенно по-разному. Наиболее распространенные варианты – это Сяоми, Ксиаоми, Шаоми и даже Ксяоми и Сиоми. Какой же из этих вариантов правильный и как читать Xiaomi по-русски разберемся в нашей статье.
Во всем мире, включая Китай, название бренда на английском пишется как Xiaomi, однако в зависимости от конкретного языка и даже диалекта название в различных уголках мира произносится совершенно по-разному.
Как читать Xiaomi?
Для того чтобы ответить на данный вопрос, следует обратиться к написанию бренда иероглифами. В Китае применяется два иероглифа для обозначения компании:
- 小 – Xiǎo, читается как «сяо»;
- 米 – mǐ (ми).
Это означает, что сами китайцы слышат название как «Сяоми», а ударение приходится на последний слог. Кстати, российские лингвисты считают, что именно этот вариант считается правильным. Кстати, данные иероглифы можно перевести как «маленький рис».
Как произносится Xiaomi на английском языке?
Однако большинство пользователей по всему миру читают название популярного китайского бренда с английского языка, чем и объясняется наличие множество вариантов произношения. Так, большинство англоязычных пользователей считает, что правильный вариант – «Ксиаоми», что связано с особенностями чтения буквы «X». Аналог можно провести с название компании Xerox, которая звучит «Ксерокс».
В то же время многие англоязычные люди читают «X» как русскую «З», поэтому в США вполне можно услышать и название «Зиаоми». С точки же зрения русского языка при чтении бренда с английского Xiaomi правильно читается как «Ксиаоми».
В итоге можно сделать вывод о том, что для Xiaomi оптимальными вариантами произношения на русском языке являются два варианта – «Сяоми» с ударением на «и» и Ксиаоми, если читать название с английского языка.

Xiaomi Corporation (;[2] Chinese: 小米), commonly known as Xiaomi and registered as Xiaomi Inc., is a Chinese designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics and related software, home appliances, and household items. Behind Samsung, it is the second largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, most of which run the MIUI operating system.

To achieve that goal, Xiaomi will invest US$15.7 billion in R&D over the next five years, and the company will benchmark its products and user experience against Apple’s product lines.[86] Lei described the new strategy as a «life-or-death battle for our development» in his Weibo post, after Xiaomi’s market share in China contracted over consecutive quarters, from 17% to 14% between Q2 and Q3 2021, dipping further to 13.2% as of Q4 2021.[87][88][89]
According to a recent report by Canalys, Xiaomi leads Indian smartphone sales in Q1. Xiaomi is one of the leaders of the smartphone makers in India which maintains device affordability.[90]
In 2022, Xiaomi announced and debuted the company’s humanoid robot prototype to the public, while the current state of the robot is very limited in its abilities, the announcement was made to mark the companies ambitions to integrate AI into its product designs as well as develop their humanoid robot project into the future.[91]
Partnerships[edit]
Xiaomi and Harman Kardon[edit]
In 2021, Harman Kardon has collaborated with Xiaomi for its newest smartphones, the Xiaomi Mi 11 series are the first smartphones to feature with Harman Kardon-tuned dual speaker setup.[92]
Xiaomi and Leica[edit]
In 2022, Leica Camera entered a strategic partnership with Xiaomi to jointly develop Leica cameras to be used in Xiaomi flagship Android smartphones, succeeding the partnership between Huawei and Leica. The first smartphones under this new partnership were the Xiaomi 12S Ultra and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2, launched in July and August 2022, respectively.[93]
Xiaomi Studios[edit]
In 2021, Xiaomi began collaborating with directors to create short films shot entirely using the Xiaomi Mi 11 line of phones. In 2022, they made two shorts with Jessica Henwick.[94] The first, Bus Girl won several awards[95] and was long listed for Best British Short at the 2023 BAFTA Awards.[96]
Corporate identity[edit]
Name etymology[edit]
Xiaomi (小米) is the Chinese word for «millet».[97] In 2011 its CEO Lei Jun suggested there are more meanings than just the «millet and rice».[98] He linked the «Xiao» (小) part to the Buddhist concept that «a single grain of rice of a Buddhist is as great as a mountain»,[99] suggesting that Xiaomi wants to work from the little things, instead of starting by striving for perfection,[98] while «mi» (米) is an acronym for Mobile Internet and also «mission impossible», referring to the obstacles encountered in starting the company.[98][100] He also stated that he thinks the name is cute.[98] In 2012 Lei Jun said that the name is about revolution and being able to bring innovation into a new area.[101] Xiaomi’s new «Rifle» processor[102] has given weight to several sources linking the latter meaning to the Communist Party of China’s «millet and rifle» (小米加步枪) revolutionary idiom[103][104] during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[105][106][107][108]
Logo and mascot[edit]
First Xiaomi logo
(2010–2021)
Current logo
(2021–present)
A Mi-Home store with the new logo
Xiaomi’s first logo consisted of a single orange square with the letters «MI» in white located in the center of the square. This logo was in use until 31 March 2021, when a new logo, designed by well-known Japanese designer Kenya Hara, replaced the old one, consisting of the same basic structure as the previous logo, but the square was replaced with a «squircle» with rounded corners instead, with the letters «MI» remaining identical to the previous logo, along with a slightly darker hue.
Xiaomi’s mascot, Mitu, is a white rabbit wearing an Ushanka (known locally as a «Lei Feng hat» in China) with a red star and a red scarf around its neck.[109][110] Later red star on hat was replaced by company’s logo.[111]
Reception[edit]
Imitation of Apple Inc.[edit]
Xiaomi has been accused of imitating Apple Inc.[112][113] The hunger marketing strategy of Xiaomi was described as riding on the back of the «cult of Apple».[13]
After reading a book about Steve Jobs in college, Xiaomi’s chairman and CEO, Lei Jun, carefully cultivated a Steve Jobs image, including jeans, dark shirts, and Jobs’ announcement style at Xiaomi’s earlier product announcements.[114][115][116][117] He was characterized as a «counterfeit Jobs.»[118][119]
In 2013, critics debated how much of Xiaomi’s products were innovative,[117][18][120] and how much of their innovation was just really good public relations.[120]
Others point out that while there are similarities to Apple, the ability to customize the software based upon user preferences through the use of Google’s Android operating system sets Xiaomi apart.[121] Xiaomi has also developed a much wider range of consumer products than Apple.[87]
Violation of GNU General Public License[edit]
In January 2018, Xiaomi was criticized for its non-compliance with the terms of the GNU General Public License. The Android project’s Linux kernel is licensed under the copyleft terms of the GPL, which requires Xiaomi to distribute the complete source code of the Android kernel and device trees for every Android device it distributes. By refusing to do so, or by unreasonably delaying these releases, Xiaomi is operating in violation of intellectual property law in China, as a WIPO state.[122] Prominent Android developer Francisco Franco publicly criticized Xiaomi’s behaviour after repeated delays in the release of kernel source code.[123] Xiaomi in 2013 said that it would release the kernel code.[124] The kernel source code was available on the GitHub website in 2020.[125]
Privacy concerns and data collection[edit]
As a company based in China, Xiaomi is obligated to share data with the Chinese government under the China Internet Security Law and National Intelligence Law.[126][127] There were reports that Xiaomi’s Cloud messaging service sends some private data, including call logs and contact information, to Xiaomi servers.[128][129] Xiaomi later released an MIUI update that made cloud messaging optional and that no private data was sent to Xiaomi servers if the cloud messaging service was turned off.[130]
On 23 October 2014, Xiaomi announced that it was setting up servers outside of China for international users, citing improved services and compliance to regulations in several countries.[131]
On 19 October 2014, the Indian Air Force issued a warning against Xiaomi phones, stating that they were a national threat as they sent user data to an agency of the Chinese government.[132]
In April 2019, researchers at Check Point found a security breach in Xiaomi phone apps.[133][134] The security flaw was reported to be preinstalled.[135]
On 30 April 2020, Forbes reported that Xiaomi extensively tracks use of its browsers, including private browser activity, phone metadata and device navigation, and more alarmingly, without secure encryption or anonymization, more invasively and to a greater extent than mainstream browsers. Xiaomi disputed the claims, while confirming that it did extensively collect browsing data, and saying that the data was not linked to any individuals and that users had consented to being tracked.[136] Xiaomi posted a response stating that the collection of aggregated usage statistics data is used for internal analysis, and would not link any personally identifiable information to any of this data.[137] However, after a followup by Gabriel Cirlig, the writer of the report, Xiaomi added an option to completely stop the information leak when using its browser in incognito mode.[138]
Censorship[edit]
In September 2021, amidst a political spat between China and Lithuania, the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence urged people to dispose the Chinese-made mobile phones and avoid buying new ones,[139] after the National Cyber Security Centre of Lithuania claimed that Xiaomi devices have built-in censorship capabilities that can be turned on remotely.[140]
Xiaomi denied the accusations, saying that it «does not censor communications to or from its users», and that they would be engaging a third-party to assess the allegations. They also stated that regarding data privacy, it was compliant with two frameworks for following Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), namely its ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Standards and the ISO/IEC 27701 Privacy Information Management System.[141]
Legal actions[edit]
State administration of radio, film and television issue[edit]
In November 2012, Xiaomi’s smart set-top box stopped working one week after the launch due to the company having run foul of China’s State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television.[142][143][144] The regulatory issues were overcome in January 2013.[145]
Misleading sales figures[edit]
The Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission investigated the flash sales and found that Xiaomi had sold fewer smartphones than advertised.[146] Xiaomi claimed that the number of smartphones sold was 10,000 units each for the first two flash sales, and 8,000 units for the third one. However, FTC investigated the claims and found that Xiaomi sold 9,339 devices in the first flash sale, 9,492 units in the second one, and 7,389 for the third.[147] It was found that during the first flash sale, Xiaomi had given 1,750 priority ‘F-codes’ to people who could place their orders without having to go through the flash sale, thus diminishing the stock that was publicly available. The FTC fined Xiaomi NT$600,000.[148]
Shut down of Australia store[edit]
In March 2014, Xiaomi Store Australia (an unrelated business) began selling Xiaomi mobile phones online in Australia through its website, XiaomiStore.com.au.[149] However, Xiaomi soon «requested» that the store be shut down by 25 July 2014.[149] On 7 August 2014, shortly after sales were halted, the website was taken down.[149] An industry commentator described the action by Xiaomi to get the Australian website closed down as unprecedented, saying, «I’ve never come across this [before]. It would have to be a strategic move.»[149] At the time this left only one online vendor selling Xiaomi mobile phones into Australia, namely Yatango (formerly MobiCity), which was based in Hong Kong.[149] This business closed in late 2015.[150]
Temporary ban in India due to patent infringement[edit]
On 9 December 2014, the High Court of Delhi granted an ex parte injunction that banned the import and sale of Xiaomi products in India. The injunction was issued in response to a complaint filed by Ericsson in connection with the infringement of its patent licensed under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory licensing.[151] The injunction was applicable until 5 February 2015, the date on which the High Court was scheduled to summon both parties for a formal hearing of the case. On 16 December, the High Court granted permission to Xiaomi to sell its devices running on a Qualcomm-based processor until 8 January 2015.[152] Xiaomi then held various sales on Flipkart, including one on 30 December 2014. Its flagship Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G phone sold out in six seconds.[153] A judge extended the division bench’s interim order, allowing Xiaomi to continue the sale of Qualcomm chipset-based handsets until March 2018.[154]
U.S. sanctions due to ties with People’s Liberation Army[edit]
In January 2021, the United States government named Xiaomi as a company «owned or controlled» by the People’s Liberation Army and thereby prohibited any American company or individual from investing in it.[155] However, the investment ban was blocked by a US court ruling after Xiaomi filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, with the court expressing skepticism regarding the government’s national security concerns.[156] Xiaomi denied the allegations of military ties and stated that its products and services were of civilian and commercial use.[157] In May 2021, Xiaomi reached an agreement with the Defense Department to remove the designation of the company as military-linked.[158]
Lawsuit by KPN alleging patent infringement[edit]
On 19 January 2021, KPN, a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company, sued Xiaomi and others for patent infringement. KPN filed similar lawsuits against Samsung in 2014 and 2015 in a court in the US.[159]
Lawsuit by Wyze alleging invalid patent[edit]
In July 2021, Xiaomi submitted a report to Amazon alleging that Wyze Labs had infringed upon its 2019 «Autonomous Cleaning Device and Wind Path Structure of Same» robot vacuum patent. On 15 July 2021, Wyze filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, arguing that prior art exists and asking the court for a declaratory judgment that Xiaomi’s 2019 robot vacuum patent is invalid.[160]
Asset seizure in India[edit]
In April 2022, India’s Enforcement Directorate seized assets from Xiaomi as part of an investigation into violations of foreign exchange laws.[161] The asset seizure was subsequently put on hold by a court order, but later upheld.[162][163][164]
Overseas Manufacturing[edit]
Inauguration Plant in Pakistan[edit]
Xiaomi’s mobile device manufacturing plant was inaugurated on March 4 2022 to begin production in Pakistan. The plant was set up in conjunction with Select Technologies (Pvt) Limited, an Air Link fully owned subsidiary. The production plant is located in Lahore.[165]
As of July 2022, the future of the plant is uncertain due to the 2021–2022 global supply chain crisis.[166]

Несмотря на тенденции всеобщей глобализации и проникновения иностранных слов во все языки, полиглотов по-прежнему немного. С появлением в продаже смартфонов Xiaomi, как произносится название этого бренда, стало предметом жарких споров. И неудивительно: если даже с английскими транскрипциями нередко возникают проблемы, что уж говорить о правильном прочтении китайских логотипов.

Что вообще значит Xiaomi
Несмотря на то что фирма появилась на рынке более 10 лет назад, пользователи до сих пор используют множество вариантов — можно услышать и «ксяоми», и «сяоми», и «сяаоми», и «шаоми» или «ксиаоми». Чтобы ответить на вопрос, какой из них является верным, придется углубиться в тонкости языка Поднебесной и выяснить значение термина.
Понятнее станет, если обратиться к переводу. Наименование компании Xiaomi переводится как «маленький рис» или «рисовое зерно». Оно обозначатся на письме двумя иероглифами:
- 小, получивший на латинице аналог Xiao, читается как [сяо];
- 米 — для англоязычных стран Mi, читается как [ми].
Учитывая, как фраза переводится с китайского, вариант «сяоми» можно считать наиболее точным. При этом ударение ставится на последний слог. Казалось бы, можно считать спор решенным. Однако и этот ответ не является однозначным.
Интересно!
Изначально предполагалось, что фирма будет называться Red Star, но название оказалось уже зарегистрированным. И вместо красной звезды символом было выбрано рисовое зернышко, как олицетворение скромности и трудолюбия, и залог изобилия.
Звучание согласно системе пиньин
Китайский язык — один из сложнейших для обучения. Иностранцу трудно справиться с произношением, ведь значение слова может измениться в зависимости от интонации, с которой оно было произнесено. Имеется 4 основных тона, и один нулевой. Для того, чтобы адаптировать особенности речи для европейцев, была специально придумана система пиньин. С ее помощью легче будет понять, как правильно произносить Xiaomi.
Правильное интонирование дает услышать протяжный первый слог [сяо] (или даже [сяяо]) и второй [мии] — оба они относятся к третьему, длинному тону. Таким образом, большинство лингвистов сошлись на том, что верной будет считаться траскрипция Xiaomi как [сяоми].
Вице-президент о произношении слова
Но европейские специалисты — это одно. Интересно, как называют бренд на родине, в КНР. В интервью на эту тему для индийского телевидения свое мнение озвучил один из членов правления компании, ее вице-президент Хьюго Барр. Он сказал, что «сяоми» правильно говорить как «шао-ми», проведя аналогию с фразой «show me the money» (в сленговом варианте означает «деньги на бочку»). Так что для Поднебесной название бренда звучит как шаоми. Хотя, возможно, со стороны господина Барра это было шуткой, или он, будучи бразильцем, затрудняется произнести смягченный звук «с».
В общем, правильным произношением Xiaomi можно считать или «сяоми», или «шаоми». Отдать предпочтение можно любому, учитывая в применении транскрипции особенности интонирования, принятого в Китае, и как переводится «сяоми» с китайского языка.
Интересно!
Если обратиться к буддийским легендам, то в одной из них встречается рассказ о «xiao» — зернышке риса, которое выросло размером с гору. Такое толкование наполняет название особым смыслом.
Правила произношения, написания и чтения
Разночтения в наименовании фирмы и ее продукции часто зависят от региона, в котором ведутся продажи. Продавцы, а следом за ними и покупатели часто не знали, как правильно сказать — ксиаоми или сяоми. Пользователи коверкали язык, употребляя ошибочные конструкции. Порой в интернет-магазинах можно было вообще встретить написание ксиоми, совсем уже не имеющее отношения к торговой марке.
Чтобы избежать путаницы и не гадать, какое же устройство требуется покупателю, пришлось обратиться к лингвистам. Наиболее актуальной стала официальная русифицированная транскрипция, употребляющаяся в России и странах СНГ, и англоязычная версия для Азии и Европы. Характерно, что по-русски и по-английски Xiaomi правильно произносится по-разному.
На русском языке
Поскольку компания выпускает огромное количество моделей, ориентированных на потребителей среднего и нижнего ценового сегмента, она быстро завоевала популярность на российском рынке. Несмотря на это, далеко не все поклонники бренда даже спустя десятилетие после появления смартфонов на рынке знают, как читается Xiaomi по-русски.
Если руководствоваться системой пиньин, при произношении слоги надо растягивать, так что слово будет звучать как сяяо-мии, а ударение делается на вторую часть. Однако такое произношение довольно сложное, так что в разговорном варианте длительность гласных сократилась, а ударение переместилось с конца в середину, на букву «о». Так что теперь на русском языке Xiaomi произносится как «сяóми».
На английском языке
В англоговорящих странах свои особенности произношения. Например, в США принято читать первую букву «X» как «Z». Так что там можно услышать даже такой вариант, как «зиаоми». Однако большинство считают правильной транскрипцией для «х» — [кс]. Так что, учитывая, как слово пишется на английском, появился вариант ксяоми, ксиоми или ксиаоми.
Принимая во внимание эти нюансы, можно сказать, что наиболее верным будет учитывать транскрипционное прочтение с китайского или использовать англоязычное название. Тогда правильным будет говорить сяоми или ксяоми. Прочие же формы будут ошибочными.
Как правильно произносятся названия смартфонов Xiaomi
Разобравшись с наименованием бренда, его звучанием и переводом, проще ориентироваться в маркировке модельных линеек. И в первую очередь интересно совпадение логотипа с названием флагмана, телефона, который также называется Mi. В английском написании он имеет двойственное толкование. С одной стороны аббревиатура расшифровывается как сокращение от «Mobile Internet», а с другой — от «Mission Impossible» (миссия невыполнима). Так создатели хотели подчеркнуть, что компания способна справиться с любыми трудностями.
Приставка «red» в популярной серии Redmi переводится как «умный, хитрый, приспособленный», сразу намекая на то, что модели этой линейки более продвинутые по сравнению с остальными. А префикс «note» ведет происхождение от сокращенного notepad или notebook — блокнот, что указывает на увеличенный размер экрана.
Говоря о продукции компании, нельзя оставить в стороне и прошивку MIUI — ведь именно с разработки оригинальной оболочки началась ее деятельность. Название системы состоит из двух аббревиатур: фирменного MI, о значении которого писалось выше, и UI — от User Interface. В английской транскрипции MIUI читается как «Me You I» (можно приблизительно перевести «от меня к тебе»).
Для помощи пользователям в преодолении языкового барьера в 2018 году Xiaomi выпустили компактный транслейтор. Устройство получило название Mijia AI и способность в режиме реального времени осуществлять перевод между 14 языками. История возникновения названия, его значение и звучание на китайском поможет решить вопрос, как правильно произнести Xiaomi, — оно произносится по-русски как «сяоми» с ударением на второй слог.
Сегодня поговорим о том, как произносится «Xiaomi», что означает перевод названия китайской компании на русский язык и куда ставится ударение в слове.

Как читается Xiaomi
На китайском языке слово Xiaomi пишется двумя иероглифами 小米. Что касается транскрипции, то эти иероглифы читаются как 小 – Xiǎo [сяо] и 米 – mǐ [ми]. В итоге получается слово Сяоми с ударением на последний слог.
Русскоговорящим людям произносить слово с ударением на последнюю гласную «И» достаточно непривычно, поэтому ударение как-то само переместилось на вторую гласную «О», что вполне допускается, хотя и не совсем корректно.
Правильно произносить именно Сяоми или Ксяоми тоже допустимо? В китайском языке буква X читается не как «икс» или «экс». Поэтому называть компанию «Ксиаоми» некорректно.
Как переводится Xiaomi на русский язык
С переводом Xiaomi на русский язык тоже не всё просто. Согласно официальным словарям китайского языка, слово переводится как «маленькая рисинка» и пишется при помощи двух иероглифов 小米, которые латинским алфавитом можно прописать, как xiao и mi. В некоторых вариациях перевод можно трактовать как «рисовое зёрнышко».
Хотя причём здесь рис не совсем понятно, ведь речь идёт о технологическом гиганте Поднебесной, а не о заливных полях Маньчжурии. Возможно, так компания хотела увеличить свою значимость, ведь рис для китайцев как хлеб насущный.
Однако вероятна и такая трактовка, согласно которой нужно много трудиться для того, чтобы получить желаемое. Это и символизирует метафизическое рисовое зёрнышко. Учитывая какое гигантское количество смартфонов (каталог) компания выпускает на рынок, трудятся они в соответствии с названием.
Президент Xiaomi Лэй Цзюнь высказался по поводу перевода недвусмысленно. Он заявил, что в основе названия компании лежит буддистская концепция, согласно которой Xiao – это огромное зерно риса, размером с Фудзияму или даже Джомолунгму. Глава Xiaomi конкретно дал понять, что считает свою компанию великой.
В пределах Китая оно так и есть, однако до показателей мировых гигантов индустрии ей пока ещё далеко. Но если «огромное рисовое зёрнышко размером с гору» будет продолжать в том же духе, то скоро станет главным производителем смартфонов в мире.
Перевод Redmi на русский
С названием суббренда Redmi тоже весьма интересная ситуация, ведь под этим лейблом выпускают доступные телефоны с неплохими характеристиками.
Согласно правилам китайского языка, название состоит из двух частей — red и mi. Причём Red взято с английского, что означает «красный», а mi – это всё тот же рис. Получается «красный рис», что достаточно необычно, хоть и непонятно, что именно сподвигло китайцев на создание такого бренда.
Вероятно, здесь есть какая-то отсылка к коммунистическому строю, который сейчас используется в Китае и к всесильной Компартии. Не зря ведь маскот Xiaomi и Redmi – заяц в ушанке с красной звездой (его можно увидеть, включив на телефоне режим Fastboot).
Маскот Xiaomi.

Чтобы передать китайские иероглифы буквами латинского алфавита, используют систему письма «Пиньинь». На сегодняшний день эта система является официальным международным инструментом транскрипции иероглифов. И все люди, желающие изучить сложный китайский язык, обязательно осваивают Пиньинь.
Для тех, кто владеет английским, самым логичным вариантом произношения будет «Ксяоми». Логичным, но ошибочным. Зная основы Пиньинь, можно без труда понять, как правильно произносить Xiaomi. Латинская буква «X» в этой системе читается как звук «С», поэтому название бренда следует произносить «Сяоми». Именно такое название бренда является общепринятым на международном уровне. Причем ударение падает не на второй слог [о], а на последний [ми].
Что означает Xiaomi?
Как читается Xiaomi — мы разобрались. Но теперь вам наверняка хотелось бы узнать, что означает это слово. Как перевести Xiaomi на русский язык? В переводе с китайского языка название популярного бренда означает «Маленькая рисинка» или «Рисовое зернышко», а в некоторых толкованиях — «Просо».
В жизни китайцев рис имеет чрезвычайно важное значение. Как для русского человека хлеб является основой рациона, так и жители Поднебесной считают рис «всему головой» и чрезвычайно уважают эту полезную злаковую культуру. Выращивание риса — это кропотливая работа, отнимающая массу времени и сил. Но именно такой подход стал фундаментом благополучия китайского народа.
Китайцы 21-го столетия не только не утратили уважение к рису, но и отдали ему должное в мире современных технологий. Как ни один житель Поднебесной не обходится в повседневной жизни без риса, так не может он обойтись без полезных гаджетов — смартфонов, компьютеров и другой техники. Бренд Xiaomi органично объединил эти две ценности в своем названии и широкой линейке продукции.
А глава компании Лэй Цзюнь так прямо и сказал, что
… слог Xiao в названии бренда означает зерно риса размером с гору, что перекликается с концепцией буддизма.
Что касается слога Mi, в нем тоже можно найти скрытый смысл — если отойти от системы Пиньинь и китайского языка. Логотип Mi, известный всему миру, можно толковать как Mobile Internet (мобильный интернет).
Это в полной мере соответствует концепции бренда. Продукция Xiaomi способна удовлетворить запросы любого современного человека, живущего в мире продвинутых цифровых технологий.

Xiaomi Corporation (;[2] Chinese: 小米), commonly known as Xiaomi and registered as Xiaomi Inc., is a Chinese designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics and related software, home appliances, and household items. Behind Samsung, it is the second largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, most of which run the MIUI operating system. The company is ranked 338th and is the youngest company on the Fortune Global 500.[3][4]
Xiaomi was founded in 2010 in Beijing by now multi-billionaire Lei Jun when he was 40 years old, along with six senior associates. Lei had founded Kingsoft as well as Joyo.com, which he sold to Amazon for $75 million in 2004. In August 2011, Xiaomi released its first smartphone and, by 2014, it had the largest market share of smartphones sold in China. Initially the company only sold its products online; however, it later opened brick and mortar stores.[5] By 2015, it was developing a wide range of consumer electronics.[6] In 2020, the company sold 146.3 million smartphones and its MIUI operating system has over 500 million monthly active users.[7] In the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi surpassed Apple Inc. to become the second-largest seller of smartphones worldwide, with a 17% market share, according to Canalys.[8] It also is a major manufacturer of appliances including televisions, flashlights, unmanned aerial vehicles, and air purifiers using its Internet of Things and Xiaomi Smart Home product ecosystems.
Xiaomi keeps its prices close to its manufacturing costs and bill of materials costs by keeping most of its products in the market for 18 months, longer than most smartphone companies,[9][10] The company also uses inventory optimization and flash sales to keep its inventory low.[11][12]

Innovation and development[edit]
In the 2021 review of WIPO’s annual World Intellectual Property Indicators Xiaomi was ranked as 2nd in the world, with 216 designs in industrial design registrations being published under the Hague System during 2020.[84] This position is up on their previous 3rd place ranking in 2019 for 111 industrial design registrations being published.[85]

Corporate identity[edit]
Name etymology[edit]
Xiaomi (小米) is the Chinese word for «millet».[97] In 2011 its CEO Lei Jun suggested there are more meanings than just the «millet and rice».[98] He linked the «Xiao» (小) part to the Buddhist concept that «a single grain of rice of a Buddhist is as great as a mountain»,[99] suggesting that Xiaomi wants to work from the little things, instead of starting by striving for perfection,[98] while «mi» (米) is an acronym for Mobile Internet and also «mission impossible», referring to the obstacles encountered in starting the company.[98][100] He also stated that he thinks the name is cute.[98] In 2012 Lei Jun said that the name is about revolution and being able to bring innovation into a new area.[101] Xiaomi’s new «Rifle» processor[102] has given weight to several sources linking the latter meaning to the Communist Party of China’s «millet and rifle» (小米加步枪) revolutionary idiom[103][104] during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[105][106][107][108]
Logo and mascot[edit]

Xiaomi’s first logo consisted of a single orange square with the letters «MI» in white located in the center of the square. This logo was in use until 31 March 2021, when a new logo, designed by well-known Japanese designer Kenya Hara, replaced the old one, consisting of the same basic structure as the previous logo, but the square was replaced with a «squircle» with rounded corners instead, with the letters «MI» remaining identical to the previous logo, along with a slightly darker hue.
Xiaomi’s mascot, Mitu, is a white rabbit wearing an Ushanka (known locally as a «Lei Feng hat» in China) with a red star and a red scarf around its neck.[109][110] Later red star on hat was replaced by company’s logo.[111]
Reception[edit]
Imitation of Apple Inc.[edit]
Xiaomi has been accused of imitating Apple Inc.[112][113] The hunger marketing strategy of Xiaomi was described as riding on the back of the «cult of Apple».[13]
After reading a book about Steve Jobs in college, Xiaomi’s chairman and CEO, Lei Jun, carefully cultivated a Steve Jobs image, including jeans, dark shirts, and Jobs’ announcement style at Xiaomi’s earlier product announcements.[114][115][116][117] He was characterized as a «counterfeit Jobs.»[118][119]
In 2013, critics debated how much of Xiaomi’s products were innovative,[117][18][120] and how much of their innovation was just really good public relations.[120]
Others point out that while there are similarities to Apple, the ability to customize the software based upon user preferences through the use of Google’s Android operating system sets Xiaomi apart.[121] Xiaomi has also developed a much wider range of consumer products than Apple.[87]
Violation of GNU General Public License[edit]
In January 2018, Xiaomi was criticized for its non-compliance with the terms of the GNU General Public License. The Android project’s Linux kernel is licensed under the copyleft terms of the GPL, which requires Xiaomi to distribute the complete source code of the Android kernel and device trees for every Android device it distributes. By refusing to do so, or by unreasonably delaying these releases, Xiaomi is operating in violation of intellectual property law in China, as a WIPO state.[122] Prominent Android developer Francisco Franco publicly criticized Xiaomi’s behaviour after repeated delays in the release of kernel source code.[123] Xiaomi in 2013 said that it would release the kernel code.[124] The kernel source code was available on the GitHub website in 2020.[125]
Privacy concerns and data collection[edit]
As a company based in China, Xiaomi is obligated to share data with the Chinese government under the China Internet Security Law and National Intelligence Law.[126][127] There were reports that Xiaomi’s Cloud messaging service sends some private data, including call logs and contact information, to Xiaomi servers.[128][129] Xiaomi later released an MIUI update that made cloud messaging optional and that no private data was sent to Xiaomi servers if the cloud messaging service was turned off.[130]
On 23 October 2014, Xiaomi announced that it was setting up servers outside of China for international users, citing improved services and compliance to regulations in several countries.[131]
On 19 October 2014, the Indian Air Force issued a warning against Xiaomi phones, stating that they were a national threat as they sent user data to an agency of the Chinese government.[132]
In April 2019, researchers at Check Point found a security breach in Xiaomi phone apps.[133][134] The security flaw was reported to be preinstalled.[135]
On 30 April 2020, Forbes reported that Xiaomi extensively tracks use of its browsers, including private browser activity, phone metadata and device navigation, and more alarmingly, without secure encryption or anonymization, more invasively and to a greater extent than mainstream browsers. Xiaomi disputed the claims, while confirming that it did extensively collect browsing data, and saying that the data was not linked to any individuals and that users had consented to being tracked.[136] Xiaomi posted a response stating that the collection of aggregated usage statistics data is used for internal analysis, and would not link any personally identifiable information to any of this data.[137] However, after a followup by Gabriel Cirlig, the writer of the report, Xiaomi added an option to completely stop the information leak when using its browser in incognito mode.[138]
Censorship[edit]
In September 2021, amidst a political spat between China and Lithuania, the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence urged people to dispose the Chinese-made mobile phones and avoid buying new ones,[139] after the National Cyber Security Centre of Lithuania claimed that Xiaomi devices have built-in censorship capabilities that can be turned on remotely.[140]
Xiaomi denied the accusations, saying that it «does not censor communications to or from its users», and that they would be engaging a third-party to assess the allegations. They also stated that regarding data privacy, it was compliant with two frameworks for following Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), namely its ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Standards and the ISO/IEC 27701 Privacy Information Management System.[141]
Legal actions[edit]
State administration of radio, film and television issue[edit]
In November 2012, Xiaomi’s smart set-top box stopped working one week after the launch due to the company having run foul of China’s State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television.[142][143][144] The regulatory issues were overcome in January 2013.[145]
Misleading sales figures[edit]
The Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission investigated the flash sales and found that Xiaomi had sold fewer smartphones than advertised.[146] Xiaomi claimed that the number of smartphones sold was 10,000 units each for the first two flash sales, and 8,000 units for the third one. However, FTC investigated the claims and found that Xiaomi sold 9,339 devices in the first flash sale, 9,492 units in the second one, and 7,389 for the third.[147] It was found that during the first flash sale, Xiaomi had given 1,750 priority ‘F-codes’ to people who could place their orders without having to go through the flash sale, thus diminishing the stock that was publicly available. The FTC fined Xiaomi NT$600,000.[148]
Shut down of Australia store[edit]
In March 2014, Xiaomi Store Australia (an unrelated business) began selling Xiaomi mobile phones online in Australia through its website, XiaomiStore.com.au.[149] However, Xiaomi soon «requested» that the store be shut down by 25 July 2014.[149] On 7 August 2014, shortly after sales were halted, the website was taken down.[149] An industry commentator described the action by Xiaomi to get the Australian website closed down as unprecedented, saying, «I’ve never come across this [before]. It would have to be a strategic move.»[149] At the time this left only one online vendor selling Xiaomi mobile phones into Australia, namely Yatango (formerly MobiCity), which was based in Hong Kong.[149] This business closed in late 2015.[150]
Temporary ban in India due to patent infringement[edit]
On 9 December 2014, the High Court of Delhi granted an ex parte injunction that banned the import and sale of Xiaomi products in India. The injunction was issued in response to a complaint filed by Ericsson in connection with the infringement of its patent licensed under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory licensing.[151] The injunction was applicable until 5 February 2015, the date on which the High Court was scheduled to summon both parties for a formal hearing of the case. On 16 December, the High Court granted permission to Xiaomi to sell its devices running on a Qualcomm-based processor until 8 January 2015.[152] Xiaomi then held various sales on Flipkart, including one on 30 December 2014. Its flagship Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G phone sold out in six seconds.[153] A judge extended the division bench’s interim order, allowing Xiaomi to continue the sale of Qualcomm chipset-based handsets until March 2018.[154]
U.S. sanctions due to ties with People’s Liberation Army[edit]
In January 2021, the United States government named Xiaomi as a company «owned or controlled» by the People’s Liberation Army and thereby prohibited any American company or individual from investing in it.[155] However, the investment ban was blocked by a US court ruling after Xiaomi filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, with the court expressing skepticism regarding the government’s national security concerns.[156] Xiaomi denied the allegations of military ties and stated that its products and services were of civilian and commercial use.[157] In May 2021, Xiaomi reached an agreement with the Defense Department to remove the designation of the company as military-linked.[158]
Lawsuit by KPN alleging patent infringement[edit]
On 19 January 2021, KPN, a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company, sued Xiaomi and others for patent infringement. KPN filed similar lawsuits against Samsung in 2014 and 2015 in a court in the US.[159]
Lawsuit by Wyze alleging invalid patent[edit]
In July 2021, Xiaomi submitted a report to Amazon alleging that Wyze Labs had infringed upon its 2019 «Autonomous Cleaning Device and Wind Path Structure of Same» robot vacuum patent. On 15 July 2021, Wyze filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, arguing that prior art exists and asking the court for a declaratory judgment that Xiaomi’s 2019 robot vacuum patent is invalid.[160]
Asset seizure in India[edit]
In April 2022, India’s Enforcement Directorate seized assets from Xiaomi as part of an investigation into violations of foreign exchange laws.[161] The asset seizure was subsequently put on hold by a court order, but later upheld.[162][163][164]
Overseas Manufacturing[edit]
Inauguration Plant in Pakistan[edit]
Xiaomi’s mobile device manufacturing plant was inaugurated on March 4 2022 to begin production in Pakistan. The plant was set up in conjunction with Select Technologies (Pvt) Limited, an Air Link fully owned subsidiary. The production plant is located in Lahore.[165]
As of July 2022, the future of the plant is uncertain due to the 2021–2022 global supply chain crisis.[166]

Xiaomi Corporation (;[2] Chinese: 小米), commonly known as Xiaomi and registered as Xiaomi Inc., is a Chinese designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics and related software, home appliances, and household items. Behind Samsung, it is the second largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world, most of which run the MIUI operating system. The company is ranked 338th and is the youngest company on the Fortune Global 500.[3][4]
Xiaomi was founded in 2010 in Beijing by now multi-billionaire Lei Jun when he was 40 years old, along with six senior associates. Lei had founded Kingsoft as well as Joyo.com, which he sold to Amazon for $75 million in 2004. In August 2011, Xiaomi released its first smartphone and, by 2014, it had the largest market share of smartphones sold in China. Initially the company only sold its products online; however, it later opened brick and mortar stores.[5] By 2015, it was developing a wide range of consumer electronics.[6] In 2020, the company sold 146.3 million smartphones and its MIUI operating system has over 500 million monthly active users.[7] In the second quarter of 2021, Xiaomi surpassed Apple Inc. to become the second-largest seller of smartphones worldwide, with a 17% market share, according to Canalys.[8] It also is a major manufacturer of appliances including televisions, flashlights, unmanned aerial vehicles, and air purifiers using its Internet of Things and Xiaomi Smart Home product ecosystems.
Xiaomi keeps its prices close to its manufacturing costs and bill of materials costs by keeping most of its products in the market for 18 months, longer than most smartphone companies,[9][10] The company also uses inventory optimization and flash sales to keep its inventory low.[11][12]

Innovation and development[edit]
In the 2021 review of WIPO’s annual World Intellectual Property Indicators Xiaomi was ranked as 2nd in the world, with 216 designs in industrial design registrations being published under the Hague System during 2020.[84] This position is up on their previous 3rd place ranking in 2019 for 111 industrial design registrations being published.[85]

Corporate identity[edit]
Name etymology[edit]
Xiaomi (小米) is the Chinese word for «millet».[97] In 2011 its CEO Lei Jun suggested there are more meanings than just the «millet and rice».[98] He linked the «Xiao» (小) part to the Buddhist concept that «a single grain of rice of a Buddhist is as great as a mountain»,[99] suggesting that Xiaomi wants to work from the little things, instead of starting by striving for perfection,[98] while «mi» (米) is an acronym for Mobile Internet and also «mission impossible», referring to the obstacles encountered in starting the company.[98][100] He also stated that he thinks the name is cute.[98] In 2012 Lei Jun said that the name is about revolution and being able to bring innovation into a new area.[101] Xiaomi’s new «Rifle» processor[102] has given weight to several sources linking the latter meaning to the Communist Party of China’s «millet and rifle» (小米加步枪) revolutionary idiom[103][104] during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[105][106][107][108]
Logo and mascot[edit]

Current logo

A Mi-Home store with the new logo
Xiaomi’s first logo consisted of a single orange square with the letters «MI» in white located in the center of the square. This logo was in use until 31 March 2021, when a new logo, designed by well-known Japanese designer Kenya Hara, replaced the old one, consisting of the same basic structure as the previous logo, but the square was replaced with a «squircle» with rounded corners instead, with the letters «MI» remaining identical to the previous logo, along with a slightly darker hue.
Xiaomi’s mascot, Mitu, is a white rabbit wearing an Ushanka (known locally as a «Lei Feng hat» in China) with a red star and a red scarf around its neck.[109][110] Later red star on hat was replaced by company’s logo.[111]
Reception[edit]
Imitation of Apple Inc.[edit]
Xiaomi has been accused of imitating Apple Inc.[112][113] The hunger marketing strategy of Xiaomi was described as riding on the back of the «cult of Apple».[13]
After reading a book about Steve Jobs in college, Xiaomi’s chairman and CEO, Lei Jun, carefully cultivated a Steve Jobs image, including jeans, dark shirts, and Jobs’ announcement style at Xiaomi’s earlier product announcements.[114][115][116][117] He was characterized as a «counterfeit Jobs.»[118][119]
In 2013, critics debated how much of Xiaomi’s products were innovative,[117][18][120] and how much of their innovation was just really good public relations.[120]
Others point out that while there are similarities to Apple, the ability to customize the software based upon user preferences through the use of Google’s Android operating system sets Xiaomi apart.[121] Xiaomi has also developed a much wider range of consumer products than Apple.[87]
Violation of GNU General Public License[edit]
In January 2018, Xiaomi was criticized for its non-compliance with the terms of the GNU General Public License. The Android project’s Linux kernel is licensed under the copyleft terms of the GPL, which requires Xiaomi to distribute the complete source code of the Android kernel and device trees for every Android device it distributes. By refusing to do so, or by unreasonably delaying these releases, Xiaomi is operating in violation of intellectual property law in China, as a WIPO state.[122] Prominent Android developer Francisco Franco publicly criticized Xiaomi’s behaviour after repeated delays in the release of kernel source code.[123] Xiaomi in 2013 said that it would release the kernel code.[124] The kernel source code was available on the GitHub website in 2020.[125]
Privacy concerns and data collection[edit]
As a company based in China, Xiaomi is obligated to share data with the Chinese government under the China Internet Security Law and National Intelligence Law.[126][127] There were reports that Xiaomi’s Cloud messaging service sends some private data, including call logs and contact information, to Xiaomi servers.[128][129] Xiaomi later released an MIUI update that made cloud messaging optional and that no private data was sent to Xiaomi servers if the cloud messaging service was turned off.[130]
On 23 October 2014, Xiaomi announced that it was setting up servers outside of China for international users, citing improved services and compliance to regulations in several countries.[131]
On 19 October 2014, the Indian Air Force issued a warning against Xiaomi phones, stating that they were a national threat as they sent user data to an agency of the Chinese government.[132]
In April 2019, researchers at Check Point found a security breach in Xiaomi phone apps.[133][134] The security flaw was reported to be preinstalled.[135]
On 30 April 2020, Forbes reported that Xiaomi extensively tracks use of its browsers, including private browser activity, phone metadata and device navigation, and more alarmingly, without secure encryption or anonymization, more invasively and to a greater extent than mainstream browsers. Xiaomi disputed the claims, while confirming that it did extensively collect browsing data, and saying that the data was not linked to any individuals and that users had consented to being tracked.[136] Xiaomi posted a response stating that the collection of aggregated usage statistics data is used for internal analysis, and would not link any personally identifiable information to any of this data.[137] However, after a followup by Gabriel Cirlig, the writer of the report, Xiaomi added an option to completely stop the information leak when using its browser in incognito mode.[138]
Censorship[edit]
In September 2021, amidst a political spat between China and Lithuania, the Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence urged people to dispose the Chinese-made mobile phones and avoid buying new ones,[139] after the National Cyber Security Centre of Lithuania claimed that Xiaomi devices have built-in censorship capabilities that can be turned on remotely.[140]
Xiaomi denied the accusations, saying that it «does not censor communications to or from its users», and that they would be engaging a third-party to assess the allegations. They also stated that regarding data privacy, it was compliant with two frameworks for following Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), namely its ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management Standards and the ISO/IEC 27701 Privacy Information Management System.[141]
Legal actions[edit]
State administration of radio, film and television issue[edit]
In November 2012, Xiaomi’s smart set-top box stopped working one week after the launch due to the company having run foul of China’s State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television.[142][143][144] The regulatory issues were overcome in January 2013.[145]
Misleading sales figures[edit]
The Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission investigated the flash sales and found that Xiaomi had sold fewer smartphones than advertised.[146] Xiaomi claimed that the number of smartphones sold was 10,000 units each for the first two flash sales, and 8,000 units for the third one. However, FTC investigated the claims and found that Xiaomi sold 9,339 devices in the first flash sale, 9,492 units in the second one, and 7,389 for the third.[147] It was found that during the first flash sale, Xiaomi had given 1,750 priority ‘F-codes’ to people who could place their orders without having to go through the flash sale, thus diminishing the stock that was publicly available. The FTC fined Xiaomi NT$600,000.[148]
Shut down of Australia store[edit]
In March 2014, Xiaomi Store Australia (an unrelated business) began selling Xiaomi mobile phones online in Australia through its website, XiaomiStore.com.au.[149] However, Xiaomi soon «requested» that the store be shut down by 25 July 2014.[149] On 7 August 2014, shortly after sales were halted, the website was taken down.[149] An industry commentator described the action by Xiaomi to get the Australian website closed down as unprecedented, saying, «I’ve never come across this [before]. It would have to be a strategic move.»[149] At the time this left only one online vendor selling Xiaomi mobile phones into Australia, namely Yatango (formerly MobiCity), which was based in Hong Kong.[149] This business closed in late 2015.[150]
Temporary ban in India due to patent infringement[edit]
On 9 December 2014, the High Court of Delhi granted an ex parte injunction that banned the import and sale of Xiaomi products in India. The injunction was issued in response to a complaint filed by Ericsson in connection with the infringement of its patent licensed under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory licensing.[151] The injunction was applicable until 5 February 2015, the date on which the High Court was scheduled to summon both parties for a formal hearing of the case. On 16 December, the High Court granted permission to Xiaomi to sell its devices running on a Qualcomm-based processor until 8 January 2015.[152] Xiaomi then held various sales on Flipkart, including one on 30 December 2014. Its flagship Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G phone sold out in six seconds.[153] A judge extended the division bench’s interim order, allowing Xiaomi to continue the sale of Qualcomm chipset-based handsets until March 2018.[154]
U.S. sanctions due to ties with People’s Liberation Army[edit]
In January 2021, the United States government named Xiaomi as a company «owned or controlled» by the People’s Liberation Army and thereby prohibited any American company or individual from investing in it.[155] However, the investment ban was blocked by a US court ruling after Xiaomi filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, with the court expressing skepticism regarding the government’s national security concerns.[156] Xiaomi denied the allegations of military ties and stated that its products and services were of civilian and commercial use.[157] In May 2021, Xiaomi reached an agreement with the Defense Department to remove the designation of the company as military-linked.[158]
Lawsuit by KPN alleging patent infringement[edit]
On 19 January 2021, KPN, a Dutch landline and mobile telecommunications company, sued Xiaomi and others for patent infringement. KPN filed similar lawsuits against Samsung in 2014 and 2015 in a court in the US.[159]
Lawsuit by Wyze alleging invalid patent[edit]
In July 2021, Xiaomi submitted a report to Amazon alleging that Wyze Labs had infringed upon its 2019 «Autonomous Cleaning Device and Wind Path Structure of Same» robot vacuum patent. On 15 July 2021, Wyze filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, arguing that prior art exists and asking the court for a declaratory judgment that Xiaomi’s 2019 robot vacuum patent is invalid.[160]
Asset seizure in India[edit]
In April 2022, India’s Enforcement Directorate seized assets from Xiaomi as part of an investigation into violations of foreign exchange laws.[161] The asset seizure was subsequently put on hold by a court order, but later upheld.[162][163][164]
Overseas Manufacturing[edit]
Inauguration Plant in Pakistan[edit]
Xiaomi’s mobile device manufacturing plant was inaugurated on March 4 2022 to begin production in Pakistan. The plant was set up in conjunction with Select Technologies (Pvt) Limited, an Air Link fully owned subsidiary. The production plant is located in Lahore.[165]
As of July 2022, the future of the plant is uncertain due to the 2021–2022 global supply chain crisis.[166]

Сяоми, Ксиоми или Шаоми?
Сяоми, Ксиоми или Шаоми?Неудовлетворительное знание иностранных языков не только препятствует вашему карьерному росту, но и частенько делает смешным в глазах более образованных сограждан. Проблемы с чтением-озвучкой английского понемногу уходят в прошлое — пусть и не на безупречном, но на весьма сносном уровне этот язык знаком большинству, а немногочисленные ошибки быстро исправляются окружающими. Однако, вот беда, в нашем лексиконе все чаще проскальзывают слова из более экзотических стран, над произношением которых мы мало задумываемся. Коверканье имен, брендов достигло масштабов эпидемии, причем, в оном замечены не только рядовые граждане, но и люди, на осведомленность которых мы уповаем. Куйт, Кайт, Кейт, Кяут, Кюйт — это все один человек, многострадальный голландский нападающий Дирк Кёйт, имя которого нещадно насиловалось комментаторами каждого спортивного канала. Нападающий тихо завершает карьеру в Фейенорде, а знамя страдальцев уверенно перехватывает компания из Поднебесной.
Основанная в 2010-ом, компания Xiaomi уже завоевала немалую долю рынка смартфонов, заставив потесниться таких мастодонтов как Samsung и Apple. Китайцы основательно проработали стратегию развития, но вот с названием явно прогадали. Может, не рассчитывали, что бренд выйдет за пределы Китая? Как бы то ни было, человек, далекий от восточных языков в жизни не догадается, как нужно правильно произносить Xiaomi. Будут возникать вполне рабочие версии, вроде Ксяоми или Ксиоми, но места для буйной фантазии предостаточно — в ход пойдут и Шийоми, Шаоми, Сиоми и прочие. Так и до Сиона и Соями недалеко. А что делать неискушенному обывателю среди всего этого разнообразия? Пожалуй, следуй обратиться к истокам компании и выяснить, что на самом-то деле означает название.
Xiaomi — как правильно произносится, пишется, читается
Характерным отличием иероглифического письма от привычного нам алфавитного является иная роль знаков, выполняющих роль слов и даже словосочетаний. Если обратиться к слову Xiaomi в его исконном китайском виде, то окажется, что оно состоит из двух иероглифов, первое из которых означает «маленький», а второй — продукт, всецело ассоциирующийся с Китаем, — «рис». Но гораздо более важным для нас является произношение этих знаков. Особенностью китайского языка является наличие четырех тонов (и пятого — нулевого), каждый из которых придает слову новое, совершенно иное значение. При этом омофоны (слова, которые читаются одинаково, но пишутся и значение которых различается) уху неподготовленного европейца практически неразличимы. К счастью, чтобы узнать правильное произношение эти тонкости не к надобности. В середине ХIХ века была разработана транскрипционная систему Пиньин. Пользуясь системой, можно правильно прочитать слово на китайском языке, записанное английскими буквами. Так вот, в большинстве провинций Xiaomi будет читаться как Сяо — ми, с ударением на второй слог. Именно Сяоми — название столь полюбившейся многим поклонникам хороших смартфонов корпорации. Почему лишь в большинстве провинций? Китай весьма многонациональная страна, с огромным количеством языков и диалектов, поэтому, при должном поиске, можно наверняка найти и шаоми, и иже с ним. Официальным произношением же будет вышеуказанный вариант.
小 — Xiǎo [сяо]
米 — mǐ [ми]
Вместе — Xiǎomǐ. Ударение «галочкой» означает, что при произношении тон сначала понижается, а потом повышается, звук получается растянутым, перекатывающимся. И так в обоих случаях: Сяяо-мии
Не Сяоми едины — проблемы с неймингом у других компаний
Впрочем, не Сяоми едины. Многие азиатские компании попали в свое время впросак, придумав не слишком ловкие названия. Далеко не надо идти, ближайший конкурент — Huawei. Если англоязычному покупателю понравится хотя бы посыл (хайвей), но не произношение, то нетрудно представить, как извращаются у нас с названием вполне уважаемой фирмы. На самом деле, следует произносить следует либо «вай вей», либо «хуа вэй».
Настоящим адом для азиатов оказался выход в мир такой небезызвестной компании, как Asus. Казалось бы, что здесь сложного, Асус, он и в Африке Асус. Ан нет, для англичан и американцев ассоциации вообще не самые радужные (от англ. Ass — задница). Тем более, что читать нужно Эйзус.
Определенно специфически произносится название признанного производителя наушников Sennheiser. Однако, базовых знаний немецкой орфоэпии будет достаточно, чтобы правильно прочитать. В отличии от английского языка, «S» читается как «З», а буквосочетание «ei» как «ай».
Итоговый результат — «Зенхайзер».
Ну и на закуску, не самое важное, но до одурения для некоторых принципиальное — Apple iPad. Айпад или Айпэд, вроде разница не большая, но покоя не дает. Так вот, плоть от плоти яблочной компании, Стив Джобс в своих презентациях неизменно употреблял «айпэд», что, впрочем, и не удивительно для англоговорящего человека, владеющего хотя бы зачаточными познаниями. Так что, учитесь говорить правильно, и будет вам счастье.

Наверное, самый интригующий вопрос: как правильно говорить Сяоми или Ксяоми? И, действительно, с одной стороны кажется, будто Xiaomi название простое, бесхитростное, и написано английскими буквами, а значит, и читать нужно по-английски.
С другой стороны, компания из Китая, так, может, и произносить название нужно на китайский манер, но как? Как звучит название на родине?
Как произноситься на русском Xiaomi?
Я предлагаю пойти на родину и узнать, как пишется бренд на китайском языке:
- 小 – Xiǎo, читается как «сяо»;
- 米 – mǐ (ми).
Используя правила произношения китайских иероглифов, мы получаем правильное «Сяоми».
Я понимаю, многие уже привыкли называть бренд Ксиаоми, Шаоми, Ксяоми и Сиоми, но это ошибочные варианты, который даже по-английски звучат не верно, не то, что на русском и китайском.
Есть ли альтернативный вариант произношения Xiaomi, если использовать английский вариант и читать на русском?
Вроде бы, мы разобрались, что в Китае бренд звучит как «Сяоми», всё просто и понятно, но вернёмся к английском написанию «Xiaomi».
Если сделать предположение, что это название следует читать только на английский манер, и никак иначе, мы получим вариант «Ксиаоми», потому что первой буквой слова является «X», а с ней на русском языке иногда возникает путаница для не лингвистов.
И мы получаем уже два одновременно правильных варианта верного произношения на русском языке «Xiaomi»:
- Если читать на манер Китайской родины – правильно по-русски будет «Сяоми»;
- Если читать на американский манер и игнорировать страну происхождения – правильно будет «Ксиаоми».

Несмотря на тенденции всеобщей глобализации и проникновения иностранных слов во все языки, полиглотов по-прежнему немного. С появлением в продаже смартфонов Xiaomi, как произносится название этого бренда, стало предметом жарких споров. И неудивительно: если даже с английскими транскрипциями нередко возникают проблемы, что уж говорить о правильном прочтении китайских логотипов.

Что вообще значит Xiaomi
Несмотря на то что фирма появилась на рынке более 10 лет назад, пользователи до сих пор используют множество вариантов — можно услышать и «ксяоми», и «сяоми», и «сяаоми», и «шаоми» или «ксиаоми». Чтобы ответить на вопрос, какой из них является верным, придется углубиться в тонкости языка Поднебесной и выяснить значение термина.
Понятнее станет, если обратиться к переводу. Наименование компании Xiaomi переводится как «маленький рис» или «рисовое зерно». Оно обозначатся на письме двумя иероглифами:
- 小, получивший на латинице аналог Xiao, читается как [сяо];
- 米 — для англоязычных стран Mi, читается как [ми].
Учитывая, как фраза переводится с китайского, вариант «сяоми» можно считать наиболее точным. При этом ударение ставится на последний слог. Казалось бы, можно считать спор решенным. Однако и этот ответ не является однозначным.
Интересно!
Изначально предполагалось, что фирма будет называться Red Star, но название оказалось уже зарегистрированным. И вместо красной звезды символом было выбрано рисовое зернышко, как олицетворение скромности и трудолюбия, и залог изобилия.
Звучание согласно системе пиньин
Китайский язык — один из сложнейших для обучения. Иностранцу трудно справиться с произношением, ведь значение слова может измениться в зависимости от интонации, с которой оно было произнесено. Имеется 4 основных тона, и один нулевой. Для того, чтобы адаптировать особенности речи для европейцев, была специально придумана система пиньин. С ее помощью легче будет понять, как правильно произносить Xiaomi.
Правильное интонирование дает услышать протяжный первый слог [сяо] (или даже [сяяо]) и второй [мии] — оба они относятся к третьему, длинному тону. Таким образом, большинство лингвистов сошлись на том, что верной будет считаться траскрипция Xiaomi как [сяоми].
Вице-президент о произношении слова
Но европейские специалисты — это одно. Интересно, как называют бренд на родине, в КНР. В интервью на эту тему для индийского телевидения свое мнение озвучил один из членов правления компании, ее вице-президент Хьюго Барр. Он сказал, что «сяоми» правильно говорить как «шао-ми», проведя аналогию с фразой «show me the money» (в сленговом варианте означает «деньги на бочку»). Так что для Поднебесной название бренда звучит как шаоми. Хотя, возможно, со стороны господина Барра это было шуткой, или он, будучи бразильцем, затрудняется произнести смягченный звук «с».
В общем, правильным произношением Xiaomi можно считать или «сяоми», или «шаоми». Отдать предпочтение можно любому, учитывая в применении транскрипции особенности интонирования, принятого в Китае, и как переводится «сяоми» с китайского языка.
Интересно!
Если обратиться к буддийским легендам, то в одной из них встречается рассказ о «xiao» — зернышке риса, которое выросло размером с гору. Такое толкование наполняет название особым смыслом.
Правила произношения, написания и чтения
Разночтения в наименовании фирмы и ее продукции часто зависят от региона, в котором ведутся продажи. Продавцы, а следом за ними и покупатели часто не знали, как правильно сказать — ксиаоми или сяоми. Пользователи коверкали язык, употребляя ошибочные конструкции. Порой в интернет-магазинах можно было вообще встретить написание ксиоми, совсем уже не имеющее отношения к торговой марке.
Чтобы избежать путаницы и не гадать, какое же устройство требуется покупателю, пришлось обратиться к лингвистам. Наиболее актуальной стала официальная русифицированная транскрипция, употребляющаяся в России и странах СНГ, и англоязычная версия для Азии и Европы. Характерно, что по-русски и по-английски Xiaomi правильно произносится по-разному.
На русском языке
Поскольку компания выпускает огромное количество моделей, ориентированных на потребителей среднего и нижнего ценового сегмента, она быстро завоевала популярность на российском рынке. Несмотря на это, далеко не все поклонники бренда даже спустя десятилетие после появления смартфонов на рынке знают, как читается Xiaomi по-русски.
Если руководствоваться системой пиньин, при произношении слоги надо растягивать, так что слово будет звучать как сяяо-мии, а ударение делается на вторую часть. Однако такое произношение довольно сложное, так что в разговорном варианте длительность гласных сократилась, а ударение переместилось с конца в середину, на букву «о». Так что теперь на русском языке Xiaomi произносится как «сяóми».
На английском языке
В англоговорящих странах свои особенности произношения. Например, в США принято читать первую букву «X» как «Z». Так что там можно услышать даже такой вариант, как «зиаоми». Однако большинство считают правильной транскрипцией для «х» — [кс]. Так что, учитывая, как слово пишется на английском, появился вариант ксяоми, ксиоми или ксиаоми.
Принимая во внимание эти нюансы, можно сказать, что наиболее верным будет учитывать транскрипционное прочтение с китайского или использовать англоязычное название. Тогда правильным будет говорить сяоми или ксяоми. Прочие же формы будут ошибочными.
Как правильно произносятся названия смартфонов Xiaomi
Разобравшись с наименованием бренда, его звучанием и переводом, проще ориентироваться в маркировке модельных линеек. И в первую очередь интересно совпадение логотипа с названием флагмана, телефона, который также называется Mi. В английском написании он имеет двойственное толкование. С одной стороны аббревиатура расшифровывается как сокращение от «Mobile Internet», а с другой — от «Mission Impossible» (миссия невыполнима). Так создатели хотели подчеркнуть, что компания способна справиться с любыми трудностями.
Приставка «red» в популярной серии Redmi переводится как «умный, хитрый, приспособленный», сразу намекая на то, что модели этой линейки более продвинутые по сравнению с остальными. А префикс «note» ведет происхождение от сокращенного notepad или notebook — блокнот, что указывает на увеличенный размер экрана.
Говоря о продукции компании, нельзя оставить в стороне и прошивку MIUI — ведь именно с разработки оригинальной оболочки началась ее деятельность. Название системы состоит из двух аббревиатур: фирменного MI, о значении которого писалось выше, и UI — от User Interface. В английской транскрипции MIUI читается как «Me You I» (можно приблизительно перевести «от меня к тебе»).
Для помощи пользователям в преодолении языкового барьера в 2018 году Xiaomi выпустили компактный транслейтор. Устройство получило название Mijia AI и способность в режиме реального времени осуществлять перевод между 14 языками. История возникновения названия, его значение и звучание на китайском поможет решить вопрос, как правильно произнести Xiaomi, — оно произносится по-русски как «сяоми» с ударением на второй слог.
