Xiaomi to enter India

Xiaomi is a privately owned Chinese company headquartered in Beijing, China. It was founded in year 2010. It is China’s one of the largest electronics companies that designs, develops, and sells smartphones, mobile apps, and consumer electronics. China has gained a large market share. The company is mainly set in Malaysia, China, and Singapore. Company is expanding their business to India and Indonesia this year.

In recent news, Xiaomi is planning to enter India through Flipkart, which sells electronics gadget on its portal. The Chinese manufacturer who is behind some impressive smartphones such as Redmi, Mi3, and Mi4 plans to reach these shores soon enough. Xiaomi will bring Redmi and Mi3 into India. They might be seen on Flipkart portal in Mid-July or Mid-August. The Mi3 is company flagship phone featuring a 5-inch full HD touchscreen, 2GB of RAM, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, a 13MP Sony Camera and 16GB internal Memory. The OEM is reported to have sold 100000 units of Mi3 in China within 90 seconds. Xiaomi Redmi that Flipkart will be vending soon, is a relatively cheap handset with a 4.7 inch 720p panel, 1 GB of RAM, a quad core MediaTek chipset, dual SIM slots, an 8MP snapper, and 4GB ROM. Redmi and Mi3 will be priced at around Rs 8000 and 15000 respectively.

The other products that we might see are MiPad. It is a 7.9-inch MiPad that may be enters India too. However, it would not be possible that Flipkart will sell this on their portal because they have recently launched a Tablet in market. If Flipkart launches MiPad on its portal than there are chances, that sale of tablet will effect. MiPad is available in 16GB and 64GB models with 2GB of RAM, 8MP rear and 5MP front-facing camera.
