The new K70 series it's just the latest example of the brand's ongoing evolution. During this decade, Redmi has faced several challenges, including the crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has put the sector to the test.
However, the brand managed to overcome these difficulties thanks to one winning strategy which combines quality, performance and attractive design, a prices accessible. Ok, maybe someone will disagree and maybe it's true... it could do better. But after all, low-cost smartphones cannot promise top-of-the-range performance (both software and hardware). As they say: "the scales must tip somewhere".
A key factor in its success has been its ability to conquer the notoriously difficult and competitive Western market. With a range of devices that offer a excellent value for money, Redmi has managed to satisfy the needs of a wide range of users, challenging the giants of the sector. Its strategic choices, focused on listening to consumer needs and continuous innovation, have led Redmi to this historic milestone, confirming it as a major force in the global technology landscape.
It is worth mentioning that the company also introduced the headphones in China Redmi Buds 5 Pro standard and E-Sportas well as i laptop in 2024 version and Watch 4.
