SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) -Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp reported a fall in first-quarter revenue as COVID-19 controls and lockdowns hit demand in China while broader economic headwinds including Russia's invasion of Ukraine added to costs. He noted that COVID outbreaks first in Hong Kong and then in Shanghai had disrupted shipments, with the months-long Shanghai lockdown and the conflict in Ukraine likely to weigh on revenues in the second quarter. Smartphone shipments fell 22.1% to 38.5 million units in the quarter, Xiaomi said in a statement on Thursday.
