Xiaomi earlier took the bold step to spin off one of its best selling series- the Redmi. The sub-brand now headed by ex-Gionee president Wu Leibing has been making waves in the smartphone segment after it released the Redmi Note 7 earlier this year. But while we had expected the sub-brand to be all focused on smartphones, the brand branched out – making Airdots, washing machine, and air conditioner. Much like its parent brand which now occupies the top position in the TV market in China, spin-off Redmi brand appears set to foray into the TV market too. So is a Redmi TV in the making?
