Xiaomi’s overall smartphone unit sales in India saw a year-over-year increase of 72% from July 2014 to July 2016. The sale of the Redmi 3S on August 24 had an incredible response wherein all units were sold out in just two minutes. Given that the phone costs only Rs. 6,999 and yet has a 4,100 mAh battery that apparently lasts up to two days, we are not surprised by this reception. The next sale will be on August 31.

The Chinese consumer electronics giant recently launched its first series of laptops in China – The Mi Notebook Air.

With regard to the pricing strategy, the cost of the Xiaomi Mi5 (which was at Rs. 23,999) has been dropped to Rs. 22,999 permanently. The OnePlus 3, which has been doing extremely well in terms of sales, is perhaps the biggest competition to the Xiaomi Mi5. Therefore, Xioami’s decision to drop the price of the Mi5 is certainly wise and well-timed. Here is a detailed specs comparison of the OnePlus 3 and the Xiaomi Mi5.

With the unveiling of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 in China on August 25, we expect the company to officially announce the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 pretty soon.
