Xiaomi smartphones cater to the low-budget as well as mid-budget smartphone segment, the most recent launches being Redmi Note 4, Redmi 4 and the Redmi 4A. Xiaomi recently broke other records as well, as more than 50 Lakh units of its Redmi Note 4 were sold in the Q1 and Q2 of the year 2017. The smartphone reportedly dethroned the long reigning champion of the ‘most sold smartphone’ category, Samsung Galaxy J7.
Globally, Xiaomi has gained the fifth spot in the list of largest smartphone companies in the world, as per a report by Strategy Analytics. The sales of the company are only expected to increase, owing to their aggressive business expansion in various markets, including India. Xiaomi recently started with its own dedicated offline retail stores - 'Mi Homes' and has planned to establish more than 100 of such stores by the end of this year.
