Being the exclusive distributor of Xiaomi phones, CheezMall will also maintain the local inventory record of the brand once it is officially launched. The orders for these branded phones will be processed locally and will take two to four days for delivery anywhere in Pakistan.

At this point, we are not too clear about the actual prices of the Xiaomi phones to be launched officially and here it is pertinent to mention that not all smartphones of this company are shipped outside China because of Play Store’s unavailability.

About Xiaomi
Xiaomi was founded in 2010 and in this sense it has been very lucky to earn a big name in no very less time. Being world’s 5h largest smartphone maker in 2015, Xiaomi sold out 70.8 million units and shared almost 5 percent of the smartphone global market share at a tremendous growth rate. With this incredible progress and the global reach, it can do even a lot better in the year 2016 in terms of market share.
Pakistani market has enough potential for Xiaomi where it can gain a lot and will surely be a threat for local manufacturers like Q Mobile and international competitors like Huawei that offers hi-tech smartphones at affordable prices.
