Xiaomi has released a tweet with the teaser image of the invite.
— Mi India (@XiaomiIndia) April 10, 2015 As said above choosing India over China is surprising because, only yesterday, Xiaomi broke a Guinness World Record by selling 2.11 million smartphones and accessories through online sales in China. Normally releases in India are done one to two months after global release but Xiaomi’s new Global Mi Phone will be will be launched in India ahead of all other markets, including China. Xiaomi CEO and founder Lei Jun and president Bin Lin will also be in attendance along with global vice president Hugo Barra. The above tweet lands Xiaomi’s homepage, which as of now states, ‘i IS COMING’ and has a button to register for the event. Xiaomi has plans to make India its hub for smartphone manufacturing activity is well known but whether the tactical decision of premiering global smartphone in India pays off remains to be seen.
