Xiaomi is hoping to take things a notch higher after the recent announcement concerning the establishment of their African Regional Department and Wang Lingming (Xiaomi’s VP) was appointed as the manager of the department.
Presently in Africa, Transsion holds a large market share in the mobile phone market especially in Nigeria since they focus on providing budget and pocket friendly devices to their customers, it is expected that Xiaomi will have to compete with in crowd such as Tecno, Samsung and Nokia but more specifically Tecno, Infinix and Itel devices since most Nigerians utilize these phones.
What do I think about Xiaomi coming to Nigeria (Africa)
A very good one since they produce "quality" devices at affordable prices to customers but the issue here is Nigeria is not a bed of roses for business especially foreign ones who are about to just launch. The economy has never been worse and not to mention the issue of corruption that abides within the country, another is custom duties and taxation.
My question here is, will Xiaomi still sell their "budget" devices at the same rate they do in China after been confronted with all these issues cause I'm pretty sure Transsion didn't get a foothold in Nigeria by playing fair and nice. Many have speculated about Transsion paying huge amounts of money to "kick" the balls in their favor.
Am I happy about the news?
Hell Yes! but I'm deeply conflicted about the whole thing. I think the competition will be good since their other competitor went to play checkers instead of chess.

I wish Umidigi will come too

But Umidigi is tra- nvm

It wont, but am not impressed with the redmi 6a

Xiaomi mi 8 has to be the best smartphone I've ever used n trust me I've used my fair share of the "top 3" none of them compares in quality per price ratio index. I've ended up purchasing my second Xiaomi mi 8 (gold)

truth be told, the redmi 6a was dope, the A22 Is a slight better processor compared to all those whacky mt685...chit Tecno and Infinix keep recycling. Imagine a 33k device having same processor as a 55k-77k Tecno camon 11. Wow.

The problem i have with them, is why will such a phone lack a fingerprint sensor?

thats a spirit killer, honestly it shattered the momentum.
@ least even the Corolla also comes in a Sport version (Corolla S) with a worthy feel too.

Different Processor, Same GPU. Camon 11 is Helio P22. I doubt if the phone can play PES 2019 without hassles
