JAKARTA - Xiaomi expressed its commitment in the field of Research and Development (R&D) through investment with a nominal value of not small. This investment reaches hundreds of trillions of rupiah.

Delivered through the first quarter 2025 earnings report, Xiaomi said that they would invest 200 billion yuan (Rp453.2 trillion) in the R&D sector. This fund is spent on the development of technology for the next five years.

Xiaomi believes that the development of core technologies requires considerable funds, especially if they want to strengthen their technology in the future. In the first quarter of this year alone, Xiaomi has spent 6.7 billion yuan (Rp 15.2 trillion).

In addition to requiring a large amount of money, the required workforce is also much more than other fields. Xiaomi said that the current number of personnel of the R&D department has reached 21,731 people.

These and many workers are needed because Xiaomi wants to continue to innovate in shaping the leading technology ecosystem. Not long ago, Xiaomi succeeded in introducing XRING O1, 3nm-fabricated System-on-Chip (SoC), which was created independently.

This means that Xiaomi does not rely on third-party companies anymore in developing this chipset. XRING O1 is not only designed to be embedded in mobile phones, but can also be on their tablets.

"This is an important milestone in Xiaomi's technology strategy that includes chips, AI, and operating systems (OS). By building long-term technology moats, Xiaomi continues to set global standards in leading technology innovations," Xiaomi explained in a statement.
