Xiaomi Vice President and Managing Director, Manu Kumar Jain, has recently surprised a fan by gifting him a Mi 10T Pro for free. This arrived after the man had an unusual demand, which had him refuse marriage until he gets the new smartphone.

haha! I think you are now ready to get married

On a serious note, #Mi10TPro is probably the best flagship phone in India right now. I hope you like it. Please do try out the #108MP camera and share your feedback with us.

The Mi Fan Kamal Ahamad probably didn’t expect a direct reply to his request, as the senior executive from the Chinese tech giant personally replied to his tweet on Twitter. Kamal wrote that “I will not get marry until I get the #Mi10TPro,” to which the Xiaomi India official responded with “haha! I think you are now ready to get married. On a serious note, #Mi10TPro is probably the best flagship phone in India right now. I hope you like it. Please do try out the #108MP camera and share your feedback with us.”

For those unaware, the Mi 10T Pro 5G is the company’s flagship that was launched back in September 2020. It sports a 6.67 inch display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM. The device runs Android 10 OS and is run by a large 5,000mAh battery pack. One of its most notable features is its 108 megapixel primary camera on the rear.

Finally received this monster.
The Mi 10T Pro display is indeed impressive. Most gorgeous phone. The amazing #108MP flagship #Mi10TPro.
So many features. Under 40K, #Mi10T Pro is pretty good value for a phone.
Thank you so much @manukumarjain @XiaomiIndia

Kamal Ahamad even tweeted again after receiving the Mi 10T Pro stating that he “Finally received this monster. The Mi 10T Pro display is indeed impressive. Most gorgeous phone. The amazing #108MP flagship #Mi10TPro. So many features. Under 40K, #Mi10T Pro is pretty good value for a phone.” All in all, this was a bizarre yet wholesome sequence of events.

Xiaomi India’s head Manu Kuma Jain has hinted that the company plans to open new exclusive Mi Stores in India and also to launch six new smartphones in the country this year. Mr Jain made this known in an interview which he granted Livemint. 

This news is coming on the heels of recent disclosure that the company will explore the recently relaxed regulation on ownership of retail stores by foreign firms.  The regulation allows for 49 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in single-brand retail channels. That law was relaxed by the Indian government as from January this year, thus paving the way for OEMs to run fully-owned branded stores. The Chinese company looks set to catch in on this by opening its own Mi Home stores in various cities which would stock its products exclusively.

Xiaomi has had a highly successful run in India especially last year where it went on to emerge as the number one smartphone brand in the country ahead of Samsung in the third and fourth quarter of the year. The tech giant was able to achieve this feat using online sales via Mi.com, Flipkart and Amazon India together with offline sales using the numerous franchise partner stores it has in various cities of the country.  The company’s success in India is also attributable to the affordable smartphones it offers in the market. That portfolio would be increased by 6 new smartphones this year. The tech giant has already launched the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India and is set to add the Redmi 5. We also expect the company to add the Mi 7 and Mi Mix 2s later this year to the lineup. Xiaomi will also look to expand its smart home gadgets in India. A couple of Smart TVs have already entered the market. Other products like the air purifier, Mi Robot Vacuum cleaner may join the fray this year.
