Xiaomi is crowdsourcing a new smartphone for the holidays

Black Friday is known all across the globe as that day where even poor people can get their hands on all the coolest and most high-tech gadgets out there. Singles Day, on the other hand, is mostly exclusive to China, but it’s more or less the same thing as Black Friday, with more than $9 billion in sales being generated during last year’s Singles Day. Many of the gadgets that people bought were Xiaomi smartphones, which is why the company is doing something a bit different this year. Not only will it be offering tons of different deals over the course of eleven days, it’ll also be crowdsourcing a brand new smartphone.
