      Understand that the Redmi Line will be like the Honor and Realm of OPPO, medium and high entry range with low price. Mi line will only increase a bit to add more features like IPX, better microphones capture video audio, more battery, better screens, design. The technology with the 5G will increase unfortunately. But as has always been said, they will not make more than 5% profit on the handsets. Unlike Huawei, Google, Apple and Samsung. Deliver the best as OnePlus. Crash from the front keeping low cost, but with more complete and competitive handsets.
