On the whole, Redmi series has been able to manage to ensure that it remains at the number two level in the Indian smartphone market scenario. Redmi Note 4 has been considered to be one of Xiaomi’s most successful phones in the market. Based on the company view, a sale of 5 million units of the phone have been made from January 23 to July 23.
Xiaomi has been quite vociferous about its large sales numbers earlier in the past. It shipped nearly 70 million phones globally in 2015. In comparison, only about 58 million smartphone units were being shipped in 2016. This is the first time that Xiaomi has managed to ship nearly 10 million devices in a single month. Indeed quite an achievement in terms of progress.
