Xiaomi sales up by 45%, sells over 1 million handsets in July-September quarter

Xiaomi has sold over a million units in the July-September, a whopping 45% sequential jump.

"We have had our best ever quarter (July-September) with sales of more than one million units. We have been witnessing about 45 per cent sequential growth for the last three quarters," Manu Jain, Xiaomi India Head said.

Jain said the sales were led by a strong demand for Redmi 2 Prime that are assembled at a Foxconn plant in Andhra Pradesh.

The company’s numbers, however, are in stark contrast to that of Counterpoint Research which said Xiaomi shipments slipped due to fierce competition from Lenovo and Micromax's Yu.

Jain declined to share shipment details.

Xiaomi had launched into India through Flipkart. It currently sells its products through Amazon, Snapdeal, The Mobile Store, Airtel and its Mi.com store.
