Xiaomi Redmi smartphone

The Redmi brand is a prominent line of smartphones developed and owned by the Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi Corporation. Originally introduced in 2013 as a budget-oriented sub-brand, Redmi has since evolved into a diverse product line that includes high-performance devices, tablets, and wearable technology.

Redmi devices are primarily designed and engineered in China. Manufacturing is concentrated in Chinese industrial hubs, though Xiaomi has significantly expanded its global footprint with production facilities in India, Indonesia, and Vietnam to serve regional markets and comply with local manufacturing requirements.

As of 2024 and beyond, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Xiaomi Corporation, headquartered in Beijing. Xiaomi is one of the world's leading smartphone manufacturers, known for its ecosystem of internet-of-things (IoT) products and its specialized MIUI (now HyperOS) operating system, which is integrated across the Redmi device ecosystem.
