There is a lot of curiosity in our readers’ mind. It’s about Xioami. Especially after they launched the cheapest Snapdragon 845 powered smartphone in the Market.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We recently came across a brilliant answer of Quote by\u00a0Kapil Phadale, and we couldn’t agree more with what Kapil has to say.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Nobody knew about Xiaomi until they launched their Mi3 in India. Mi3 was the 14k phone with Snapdragon 800 that caught everyone\u2019s eye at first.<\/p>\n

Also, the Redmi Note series was a total show stealer. It offered the best specs for its cost.<\/p>\n

The question that comes to everyone’s mind, is, how do they always make ‘bang for the buck<\/b>‘ products.<\/p>\n

Do they use\u00a0bad quality components? Do they use\u00a0used components<\/b>?<\/p>\n

Do they use\u00a0fake components<\/b>?<\/p>\n

Or is it simply because they aren’t going to last long for that reputation\u00a0of Chinese products in India<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The answer is –\u00a0No.<\/b><\/p>\n

The secret is:\u00a0strategic business<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n

1) Trust > Advertisement<\/b><\/h4>\n

Have you ever seen Xiaomi boards on top of shops? How often do you see Xiaomi advertisements on roads in the form of banners?<\/p>\n

Not very often.<\/b><\/p>\n

They simply spend more money on better components than advertising.<\/p>\n

2) They know what to skimp on<\/b><\/h4>\n

Xiaomi phones offer the\u00a0best processors<\/b>\u00a0for what they cost. They offer unbeatable battery life (and sometimes camera) for the price.<\/p>\n

But now since they have offered a great processor and battery, were to make a profit from?<\/p>\n

They start skimping on less important things like using\u00a0micro USB<\/b>\u00a0rather than using\u00a0type C<\/b>. I am pretty sure most people don’t even know the difference between them.<\/p>\n

They also skimp on higher grade glass protection. They offer gorilla glass 3 rather than the latest ones like 5.<\/p>\n

These are the things that matter too less for a great user experience. Replacing these things from a phone not only saves money but doesn’t spoil user experience either.<\/p>\n

They know that Processor and Battery life, is the heart and brain of a phone and that they are far more important than having a sturdy display which not every user breaks.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Low-Profit margin<\/b><\/h4>\n

They get too less profit per phone.<\/p>\n

4) Not spending a lot on the design.<\/b><\/h4>\n

Xiaomi is that nerd in your class that isn’t very creative when it comes to dressing.<\/p>\n

He looks simple and decent. Sometimes he straightaway copies others’ hairstyles and dressing styles.<\/p>\n

Oops, you just copied the whole design now<\/i><\/h4>\n

But again, it doesn’t spoil user experience. That nerd is still knowledgeable. They know what the Indian audience wants. We don’t want a beautiful phone. We want a decent\u00a0paisa-vasool<\/i>\u00a0phone.<\/p>\n

5) Third-party apps<\/b><\/h4>\n

Whenever you get yourself a Xiaomi phone, it has some pre-installed apps like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Amazon shopping and much more.<\/p>\n

They get a commission through these 3rd party pre-installed apps. They are easily removable too. But honestly, they are useful and it makes total sense.<\/p>\n

6) Majorly online market<\/b><\/h4>\n

Xiaomi sells most of their phones online, thereby reducing the agent skimp.<\/p>\n

The Pocofone F1 is a great example of Xiaomi’s latest marvel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It offers a Snapdragon 845 at Rs 21K. Amazing. The camera isn’t flagship grade though. It’s a mid-range camera. But what do you expect in those 21K Rupees?<\/p>\n

Here are 5 reasons you should buy the Xiaomi Poco F1.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
