Xiaomi vs Samsung Vs BBK
China-based Xiaomi, that originally started as a online heavy brand in India, has now started to focus on the offline channel as well. It is a direct competitor to some of Samsung’s smartphone series and Realme smartphones in India. Manu Kumar Jain, Global VP, Xiaomi, has been promoting the upcoming K20 smartphone as a flaghsip killer device in the country.
The company had placed several billboard advertisements promoting the upcoming K20 smartphone right next to billboard advertisements of Oneplus 7 smartphones. One of Jain’s recent tweets read, “Mi fans, it’s time for the knockout punch! Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro are unleashing on 1+7 = 17th July 2019! Time for Flagship Killer 2.0.”

Interestingly while one plus seven leads to eight, for Xiaomi, it leads to 17! Till Anuj Sharma reveals the name of the company that is ready to pay tens of lakhs for attacking K20, it would remain a mystery.
Note – Tweets made by Anuj Sharma were from his personal Twitter handle and may or may not reflect Xiaomi’s stand on the issue.
