Smartphone-maker Xiaomi Corp. has signed a global licensing deal with Meitu Inc, operator of selfie apps and maker of phones specifically designed to take attractive selfies. The move has been taken to expand its brand portfolio and to tap the female user market.

Under the association, Xiaomi will receive 30-year exclusive global licensing rights to Meitu’s branded smartphones and its popular photo-editing apps, the world’s fourth-largest smartphone maker said in a statement Monday as it released its latest financial report.

For the first five years, Xiaomi will offer Meitu 10% of the gross profit from each Meitu phone it sells, and Xiaomi will pay a minimum of $10 million in licensing fees per year after that.

As a part of that deal, all the future phones made by Meitu will carry its brand name, but Xiaomi will be responsible for design, R&D, and sales.
