Xiaomi showcases in-house chip phone and home appliances at IFA debut
Xiaomi used its first appearance at IFA to present a foldable phone built around a self-made chip and a wider push into household devices.
Xiaomi introduced a foldable smartphone powered by a chip it designed itself and displayed a range of home appliances at IFA in Berlin, marking the company’s first showing at the trade fair. The presentation highlighted its effort to broaden beyond phones and deepen its hardware ambitions in Europe.
The company’s chip work is central to that strategy, with the new handset serving as a public example of its in-house silicon effort. Alongside the phone, Xiaomi brought products aimed at the home, suggesting it wants a larger share of the consumer electronics market outside China.
IFA is one of Europe’s biggest consumer technology exhibitions and often serves as a stage for manufacturers seeking wider international reach. Xiaomi’s debut there placed its mobile and appliance lines in front of a European audience at the same event.
