JAKARTA - Xiaomi is trying to change its market share by releasing the latest generation of mobile phones. This is because the Chinese vendor has reportedly stopped the production of devices connected to the 4G network.

Compiled from Gizchina, Wednesday, May 27, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun revealed his company's plan to stop selling 4G mobile phones in his country, by the end of 2020. Moreover, the 5G connection network is preparing to revolutionize the technology market.

If this is realized, Xiaomi or Redmi will soon adapt to launch devices that already support the 5G network, especially in the global smartphone market. In addition, many development companies have started their research for 5G connection networks and beyond.

"It is true that 5G rollout has slowed down due to the pandemic, but we are not changing our strategy and will continue to push for 5G phones," said Lei Jun.

In recent years, Xiaomi has indeed focused on building services with 5G technology. Where this device will build an ecosystem together with the Chinese government in public services.

Besides the COVID-19 pandemic, which has indeed affected the production chain of electronic devices and the availability of goods. "Our warehouse is empty and the 5G phone can't turn on," added Lei Jun.

For information, the Chinese manufacturer plans to release at least 10 cellphones based on 5G networks this year. Xiaomi also increased its R&D investment to 10 billion yuan, or the equivalent of US $ 1.4 billion, in its investment for 5G networks.

On the other hand, Xiaomi has made great progress in the global smartphone market. This vendor has also been included in the list of top 10 smartphone manufacturers in the world, particularly in the last 10 years.

Moreover, Xiaomi has also just launched its latest flagships Redmi 10X and Redmi 10 X Pro which support 5G + 5G dual SIM technology. The phone is rumored to be powered by a MediaTek chipset, with a Qualcomm 5G chip.
