Xiaomi founder Lei Jun revealed today that the upstart phone-maker’s flagship device, the Mi3, has hit 10 million sales. The announcement coincided with the reveal of a new “champagne gold” version of the Xiaomi Mi3 (pictured below), adding to the five other colors that have been available since its launch last October.
Aside from the Mi3, Xiaomi also sells the Hongmi, Hongmi Note, and the older Mi2S.
Xiaomi revealed earlier this week that all its phones reached a total of 26.1 million sales in the first six months of 2014 – which is greater than the 18.7 million it sold in 2013.

The Xiaomi Mi3 is sold in mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines – but not, surprisingly, in Hong Kong. The company is prepping launches in India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil.
Judging by the usual annual product cycle, Xiaomi will unveil a new flagship in September that will go on sale in October.
The Chinese phone-maker is aiming to sell 60 million phones during the course of 2014.
