Hugo Barra as you all know has left Xiaomi for his next job at Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg officially announced that Hugo will lead the Facebook VR including Oculus team. Hugo had spent nearly 3.5 years with Xiaomi.
After the news about Hugo Barra leaving Xiaomi there were speculations that he would start his own startup, however it now clear that it is not the case. In fact Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed this on Facebook that Hugo is joining Facebook VR and both Hugo and Mark also posted their image in VR.

Nothing bad or good will happen to Xiaomi with Hugo Barra’s resignation. And at same time u can’t give credit to him for RN3’s blockbuster success. In fact every mobile company comes with such blockbuster product at some instant of timeline. How can we forget Micromax Canvas A116 and then Canvas HD !!? These phones were sold at retail in black. Retailers charged extra 3000-5000 bucks for these phones. There was no Hugo Barra with them. And after that where is Micromax??…. Almost invisible from smartphone segment right now…No other product from Micromax did as good as Canvas HD. Canvas was sold more than RedmiNote3 and that too at premium, if stastics to be believed.
So Xiaomi will soon crash like anything if it doesn’t comes with innovations and good product. RN4 is really a big disappointment for Xiaomi fans. Comapnies like Huawei, are major threat to Xiaomi. Nokia and LeEco are also gearing up to (re)establish themselves.

Lol whats with after sales service in india if Hugo left Xiaomi? kuch bhi yaar? We hardly know other companies CEO or spoke person names but we welcome their good products.Ex.Motorola,lenovo,le eco,meizu, Honor we indianz r more focused on product nd its price .Hugo was brand ambassador like cuz of his personality. Nothing will change due to his resignation.
