Lin Bin has stopped sharing in the media since Xiaomi went public. The company has undergone a series of organizational restructuring since its listing. In addition, the company now focuses on R&D with a focus on the camera department.

In May 2018, Lei Jun sent an internal letter to Xiaomi employees saying that the company would set up a separate camera department. This division will belong to the company’s smartphone segment. And yesterday, with CC9 Pro, we saw the performance of this department. For the first time, a Xiaomi phone topped the DxOMark rankings.

Lin Bin also revealed that Xiaomi MIX Alpha is a very thorough endeavor of Xiaomi on smartphone screens. According to Lin Bin, some adjustments after the IPO listing are taking effect.
