Given Xiaomi's current situation, a leading analyst foresees a major boost in Mi Note sales throughout this year, mostly due to heavy demand in select Asian markets.

The report comes at a time when Xiaomi is expected to increase its footprint in key global markets, including Brazil and Russia. As of now, Xiaomi, also known as Apple of China, is selling its devices in South East Asian countries, notably Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, among others.

Xiaomi already has seen success in India, and the company plans to launch more devices, including the TV and other appliances shortly. Furthermore, Xiaomi is planning to set up its own R&D centre, and will soon start ecommerce operations in the country.

Last year, Xiaomi sold an estimated 61 million smartphones, beating the likes of Sony and LG. Xiaomi, a 4-year old company, now ranks third in global smartphone market share.
