Xiaomi's new Mi-2a smartphone.

Xiaomi is an up-and-coming Chinese smartphone maker.

In 2012 the private company saw $2 billion in revenue selling seven million smartphones.

Today at the Beijing International Convention Center Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun unveiled his company's latest flagship smartphones the Mi-2S and the Mi-2A.
