Lee hosted Xi at a state summit and dinner after the APEC leaders' meeting in the South Korean city of Gyeongju, marking Xi's first visit to the US ally in 11 years.
The choice of the gift, China-made Xiaomi 1810.HK devices brought to the home country of smartphone giant Samsung Electronics 005930.KS underscored Xi's technological ambitions, recently reinforced in China's economic development plan for the next five years.
