Xiaomi reportedly planning to stop selling some of its smartphone models in India

New Delhi: Xiaomi will not launch one of its flagship phones in India this year. The Chinese brand introduced this phone, part of the Xiaomi Civi series, in India last June. Coming in the mid-budget price segment, this phone supports up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. According to a SmartPrix report, Xiaomi has decided not to launch its Civi series model in India. Information from industry sources suggests this is part of the company’s strategic planning.

However, Xiaomi has not shared official information about this. Sources indicate that users did not favor this model as much as the company had expected.

The price of its top variant is Rs 38,999. The non-launch of the next model may impact the company’s mid-budget segment.
