More importantly, the Redmi Note—one of the best-selling smartphones in the world this year—will give Xiaomi more firepower to challenge the dominance of Samsung in India, something that Apple and almost every other foreign mobile phone market has failed at.

“I don’t think about Samsung, HTC, Micromax as competition. The only thing that keeps me up at night is product quality. If your product is good, one of the natural consequences is that people will start buying your product,” said Hugo Barra, vice president of Xiaomi Global.

Earlier this year, Xiaomi displaced Samsung from the number one spot in China, grabbing a 14% share of the market while growing 240% year-on-year.

“Samsung needs to do something very quickly,” Pathak said, “Time is running out.” https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_twisted.gif

Shouldn’t be hard given the quality of Samsung’s mid range offerings.
