Redmi 2:
The most exciting launch for Brazil is the Xiaomi Redmi 2. Priced at just R$499 ($157) the Redmi 2 is a very attractive device in a market where high taxes usually mean Chinese phones are extremely expensive. Like the Chinese version of the Redmi 2, the Brazilian version of the phone boasts a 720p HD display, Snapdragon 410 chipset and 1GB RAM.
To get around high taxes Barra announced that the Redmi 2 will be made locally with local support and warranty!
If these first tentative steps in to Brazil work out for Xiaomi we can expect more Xiaomi devices and gadgets launched in the near future.
