Redmi has sold over 140 million units in global markets

According to Omdia, a research organization, Redmi managed to sell over 140 million units of the Redmi Note series globally. Making Xiaomi exceed their last year’s achievement. If you recall, Redmi sold over 100 million units of the Redmi Note series last year. Especially considering that Redmi became an independent brand. Soon after that, they introduced the game-changer Redmi Note 7 Series, which went on to sell over 10 million units during the first 4 months and then sold over 40 million units globally. It was one of the most successful products from Redmi in recent times. The reasons behind those numbers are that they offered amazing spec, premium built quality as well as flagship cameras in a mid-range smartphone series.

Fast forward to the Redmi Note 8 series, the company took a big gamble including a MediaTek chipset for the “Pro” variant. But at the end of the day, Redmi had the last laugh. Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro turned out to be another hit from the company. They retained the same premium feel with additional upgrades. The Redmi Note 8 was an extremely value for money smartphone with an appropriate price to spec ratio. It was so good, that certain brands have launched similarly priced smartphones with small upgrades during the next three months. But still could come neck to neck with that particular device.
