Xiaomi Mi 6 Should Launch in India Before the OnePlus 5 to Halt the Company’s Woes in Flagship Department

The Apple of China, Xiaomi is enjoying tremendous success in India with its budget Redmi series. Last year’s Redmi Note 3 was the best online selling device with over 3.6 million sold. Further, in the Q1 2017, Xiaomi shipped close to four million units, which puts it next to Samsung.

The Chinese company also said that they had sold one million units of Redmi Note 4 in just 45 days, that’s quite an achievement. Besides, the Redmi 4A is another success in the entry-level segment. And now, Xiaomi is looking to unleash a new Redmi phone in the country, which could be another Redmi 4 series phone.

But the real question in every Xiaomi fan’s mind right now is: ‘Will Xiaomi launch the Mi 6 in India or limit their portfolio to just budget smartphones in the country?’ Well, the latter appears to be truer in this case. Some recent rumours claimed that Xiaomi wouldn’t launch the Mi 6 in India. Why would Xiaomi consider to do so? Well, the obvious reason would be the weak sales of the Mi 5 in India.

It is also said that Xiaomi will bring other flagship phones such as Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 or the Mi Note 3 to India. But, they will launch later this year. By that time, Google’s next generation Pixel phones and OnePlus 5 would be released in the market along with other attractive high-end phones.

The reason for the poor sales of the Xiaomi Mi 5 last year was due to the strict competition offered by OnePlus 3 and later on, the OnePlus 3T. Even though the Mi 5 was the first phone in India to come with Snapdragon 820 SoC, it disappointed the company in terms of sales.
