When it comes to performing entry-level smartphones, Xiaomi does it better than any company. Recent reports show that the Redmi 8 has sold over 19m units globally and with the unveiling of Redmi 9, which offers compelling features at an aggressive price tag, the numbers will definitely spike. That will also see the company dominate that market segment, at least, for another year.
Meanwhile, the company is set to announce two new entry-level smartphones tomorrow, which should be more affordable. The devices are Redmi 9A and Redmi 9C.
