Posted on Mi Philippine’s Facebook page, their president and co-founder Bin Lin recently announced that they were able to sell over 26.1 million phones in first half of 2014. That’s a 271% growth on phone sold, and 149% growth on revenue compared to the first half of 2013. Mighty impressive for a phone company who just recently started going international.

The Mi 3 is the first smartphone they sold in the Philippines. It is powered by a 2.3Ghz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, Adreno 330 GPU, a 5 inch Full HD 1080p IPS display, 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, and a 13MP f/2.2 rear cam. It also has a 3,050mAh battery, and runs MIUI ROM Android 4.3 (Upgradeable to KitKat). They were able to sell 3,000 in over an hour, and will sell another 2,000 units this July 4.
