One of the most popular brands in India which provides smart phones at such cheap rates is, Micromax. Seems like, this phone will give a stiff competition to the devices produced by Micromax and other Indian brands. After Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo, Oppo, entered Indian market, Indian brands especially Micromax and Lava started to lose their space in the market which in turn hampered their revenues. In conclusion, Indian brands are recovering gradually and trying their best shot.
With the launch of this phone, Xiaomi is all set to enter into the niche market where smart phones under INR 5000 play a huge significant role.
