Earlier this year, Xiaomi confirmed that it will be bringing its laptops to India, expanding the Mi lineup to beyond smartphones. While the company understandably has been rather silent about it, we have received a long-awaited update on the Mi Laptops and RedmiBooks.
It’s no secret that the current crisis has thrown product cycles off. With brands unable to announce or ship new products, they will look to the government for clarity on how to resume operations. Considering that Xiaomi plies most of its trade online, the coming period will be crucial for it.
In a recent partner meeting, Xiaomi India’s Manu Kumar Jain addressed the current situation and even talked a bit about upcoming products and the way ahead. One of the notable mentions was that the Mi/Redmi laptops will make their way to India soon, and we should hear more about it once the lockdown eases. Regardless, we expect it to be competitively priced in India.
He also confirmed that no new tablets, such as the MiPad series, will be coming to India — not really surprising considering the declining Android tablet market. There were no comments on other upcoming smartphones such as the Redmi K30 Pro or the Mi 10 Lite.
