Xiaomi Mi 6 is not coming to India; Mi Mix 2 might be launched

We say this as a recent report states that the Xiaomi Mi 6 won't be launched in India. India Today has reported that the Mi 6 will not be launched in India at all and has come up with a reason for the company's decision as well. The report goes on stating that the company might launch any other smartphone instead of the Mi 6 and it could be the Mi Mix 2 or Mi Note 3.

So, why Xiaomi is not going to launch the Mi 6 in India? There could be several reasons for the same.

Mi 6 could be too expensive

Xiaomi is known for releasing affordable smartphones in the country. Even the company's flagship smartphones are priced reasonably so that fans can get hold of them without burning a hole in their pocket. The company has decided not to launch the Mi 6 in India as the smartphone would be very expensive to sell in the country.

Mi 5 paved way for criticism

The yesteryear's Xiaomi Mi 5 is a great smartphone, but Xiaomi was criticized a lot for not keeping the price of this down and not selling the high-end model with 64GB in the country. In fact, Hugo Barra, the former VP of Xiaomi, even claimed that it was a mistake to have not launched the 64GB MI 5 in India.
