Xiaomi Corp. intends to become the world’s largest smartphone maker within three years, its chief executive officer said, unveiling new products to challenge Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc. in the high-end market.
It announced the Mix 4 handset on Tuesday, which features the latest Qualcomm Inc. processors, a bezel-less screen with a curved edge, and a front-facing camera hidden underneath the display rather than requiring a cut-out, or “notch.” It’ll sell in mainland China for as much as 6,299 yuan ($972).
