Canalys has pegged Xiaomi to be the second biggest smartphone company in India. It has retained the title from the last quarter of 2016. Cheap Redmi smartphones have done exceptionally well in India and with the launch of a new ‘Redmi’ phone, it is likely that their existing numbers will take a huge raise.
In China, the phone is priced at 699 Yuan, which means it will cost around INR 7,000 in India. Xiaomi is considered to have one of the best user interface in the industry. Its simplicity along with the high-end specs of its flagships have resulted in a rising fame within a short span of time. The success of its smartphones aren’t solely dependent on their prices, it has a lot to do with what the devices usually offer for those prices.
