Unfortunately Xiamo is producing on only smartphones, but a whole plethora of connected devices, from vacuum cleaners to security cameras. They literally own a surveillance army.

They've been quietly trying to enter the featurephone market as well with candybar styled phones with their own custom Android firmware: Qin 1s, F21 Pro, etc.

Although they're not specifically tailored for the American market, folks whom are looking to enter or are following the digital minimalism lifestyle have been snatching them off Aliexpress and making review content for them.
