The shortage of chips hit the supply of the flagship smartphone Xiaomi Mi 11
Xiaomi launched the flagship Mi 11 last December, the world’s first smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor. The device is in great demand. The company uses Flash Sales for its implementation, during which the novelty is literally swept off the virtual shelves.
Due to the high demand and the lack of the ability to fully satisfy it, Xiaomi Mi 11 is also sold with a surcharge, but this does not reduce the number of people who want to buy it.
As reported by the Chinese media, the supply problems of the Xiaomi Mi 11 will not go away anytime soon. Like a number of other smartphone manufacturers, Xiaomi is experiencing production problems due to a global shortage of chips and components. However, some experts believe that the problem of the shortage of microcircuits is not so serious for smartphone manufacturers and is unlikely to affect a wide range of companies.
Of the industrial sectors, the automotive industry has been hit hardest by the chip shortage. Many automakers have been forced to close some of their manufacturing facilities due to a shortage of chips, and it will likely take a long time before things get back to normal. Problems with the supply of chips have also affected the Russian car industry.
