Hunger marketing plan is very popular among smartphone makers in China. With the hunger marketing plan, the OEMs only released certain units for that particular device. For example, the first round of XiaoMi Phone 2 on sale with only limited 25,000 units available. The numbers are increasing slowly from time to time.

In recent interviews, XiaoMi CEO Lei Jun slams those claims about the Hunger Marketing of XiaoMi. He stated that each device has only about 3 to 6 month life cycle. It isn't a smart move to adopt the Hunger Marketing on technological devices. At the moment, XiaoMi adopted the method where it ordered the device batch by batch from the manufacturer. This is the main reason why it XiaoMi Phone 2 on sale by batches. 

XiaoMi CEO Lei Jun concluded that the year 2013 will be a "do or die" year for the company. It is ready to battle with leading OEMs like Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo in the local Chinese market.
