📱🚗 XIAOMI'S IDENTITY IS QUIETLY SPLITTING IN TWO Look past the headline revenue number and Xiaomi's latest quarter tells a story about where the company is actually headed. Vehicle deliveries hit 104,199 units — up 28.2% year-over-year, the sixth straight quarter of growth — while phone shipments fell over a quarter from a year ago. Xiaomi offset that volume drop by pushing upmarket: average selling price hit a record RMB 1,351, with premium devices now making up nearly a third of China sales. Rising component costs and brutal competition made that a harder win than it looks on paper. Here's the nuance worth sitting with: cars aren't running the show yet. The phone-and-smart-device business still pulled in over three times the revenue of the auto/AI segment this quarter. What's shifted isn't which business is bigger — it's which one is doing the heavy lifting on growth. That's a meaningfully different company than the one investors got used to. Phones built the user base, the ecosystem, the brand recognition. Now that engine is working harder for smaller gains, while a business that didn't exist a few years ago is picking up real momentum. The open question isn't whether autos saved the quarter — they didn't need to, given total revenue still cracked RMB 108.9 billion. It's whether Xiaomi can keep scaling vehicle production without diluting margins or losing the operational focus that made the phone business work in the first place. Early innings, but the direction of travel is getting harder to ignore. Based on Xiaomi's Q2 2026 earnings release, Aug 18, 2026.
