The most popular chinese brand Xiaomi to sell its smartphones offline through Mobile Store. This is the very good news for the consumers who find it difficult to buy online. Generally Xiaomi sell its smartphones exclusively on Flipkart through Flash sales.
The most annoying part is users need to register the product and wait for the flash sale day. They provide only limited stocks during flash sales to attract more customers. As a result most of the registered users fail to grab the product. So now Xiaomi tied up with Mobile Store to enter in offline market which is threat to Indian Domestic maker Micromax.
As of now Xiaomi MI 4 and Redmi Note 4G will be available on Mobile Store. The prices will be similar to online price, Mi 4 for Rs 19999 and Redmi Note 4G for Rs 9999. There are 55 Mobile Stores In Delhi NCR which will sell Xiaomi Smartphones from today itself.
Personally I feel its a good move by Xiaomi to go offline. In a big country like India where Internet access is bit difficult and mostly they prefer offline shopping. So Xiaomi is moving to larger audience and expanding its market.
