Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 14 series on Oct. 26 in China. Soon after the launch, the company confirmed that the Xiaomi 14 series set a new record in first-day sales on major Chinese online retailers as it completely sold out within four hours of its initial release. In addition, Xiaomi reported a sixfold increase in first-sale sales compared to the previous generation in just five minutes. However, it did not confirm the number of Xiaomi 14 units that were sold. Now, a Weibo post released by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun gives an idea of how many units have been sold.
