Xiaomi has been known lately for producing very reasonably priced hardware products. In fact, they decided that their profit per piece of hardware will not exceed 5%. This simple rule has made them climb the ladder of the smartphone market as well as other hardware-focused industries.
With their latest offering, the Mi 9, Xiaomi is taking the war to flagship devices of other brands. Has this phone exposed the other flagship brands?
Let’s find out.
