Chinese Manufacturer Passes the 11 Million Unit Mark on Budget Phone
Further proof that there is still a lot of underserved users out there in the world that aren’t interested in the top of the line flagship devices that those of us in specific countries complain about being $200 on a contract, a Chinese manufacturer just hit a pretty sizable number of units sold for their $86 Android phone.
Xiaomi just announced that their RedMi 2A budget phone with 2GBs of RAM and 16GBs of storage (see more phone specs here) just passed the 11 million units sold mark since being released in March. Compare that to say the HTC One M8 that sold 8 million units in 2014.
Just interesting to see how successful a phone can do when it combines decent specs and a super low price tag. It’s no wonder the Chinese phone manufacturers are killing it…
