Redmi 2

Redmi Note 3

RedMi is a smartphone brand manufactured by Xiaomi, that was first announced in July
2013.[1][2] Redmi phones use the Xiaomi MIUI operating system, a variant of Android. The phones
were previously branded under the name HongMi.[2] Models include the Redmi 1, 1S, 2, 3, 3S and 4
and the Redmi Note, Note 2,Note 3 and Note 4 (which, unlike its predecessors does not have a
user-changeable battery, does not support removable Micro SD storage and was launched on
November 24, 2015.) Redmi Pro was first introduced in 2016 with Dual Camera system, USB-C and
OLED display for the first time in Redmi lineup. Redmi phones have been marketed in China
(including Hong Kong), Taiwan, Singapore, Nepal and India.[1][3] The most significant difference from
other Xiaomi smartphones is that it uses less-expensive components and is more consumer-
oriented. However, the Redmi 1S and Redmi Note (4G edition) both have a mid-range Snapdragon
400 series chipset. In August 2014 The Wall Street Journal reported that in the second quarter of the
2014 fiscal year Xiaomi smartphone shipment rankings in China with a market share of
14%.[4] Redmi sales were attributed as a contributing factor toward this gain in shipment rankings.[4]

2013[edit]
The RedMi phone released in 2013 was first announced on Xiaomi's website, with consumer sales
beginning on July 12, 2013. When first launched, supply was limited to units for China and 10,000
units for Hong Kong.[1][3]

2014[edit]
The RedMi Note was announced in March 20, 2014, and was released in July 2014, and uses 3G in
dual SIM variant and 4G LTE in single SIM variant.[5] and the 1.7 GHz Octa Core processor by
Mediatek.[5] Xiaomi released the Redmi 1S smartphone in July 2014.[5]
On August 4, 2014, The Wall Street Journal reported that in China's smartphone market, Xiaomi
overtook Samsung in the second-quarter of the 2014 fiscal year with a 14% market share in
smartphone shipment rankings, while Samsung had a 12% market share during this
time.[6] Additionally, Yulong and Lenovo both had a 12% market share during this time.[4] Redmi sales
were attributed as contributing to Xiaomi's increased shipment rankings in the smartphone
market.[4] Conversely, in the first-quarter of 2014, Xiaomi held a 10.7% market share.[4]

2016[edit]
In July 2016, Chinese artists - Liu Shishi, Wu Xiubo and Liu Haoran became the first ambassadors
of Xiaomis Redmi series in China.[7] Redmi Pro was appeared as Pro lineup in Redmi series.

2017[edit]
In January 2017, The Xiaomi RedMi Note 4 based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Chipset became
company's first major launch of 2017.[8] In China, the Redmi Note 4 comes running on MediaTek
Helio X20 chipset.

Distribution[edit]
A sales launch on February 21, 2014 resulted in the phone selling out in eight minutes, and another
launch on February 27, 2014 resulted in the phone selling out in six minutes.[1] On March 13, 2014,
6,000 Redmi phones sold out in eight minutes after being purveyed to consumers on Xiaomi's
website.[1] Criticism regarding the release of Redmi phones has included the notion that the firm may
be exaggerating its sales by releasing them in small batches, causing them to quickly sell out.[1]
