Leading Sri Lankan mobile phone distributor, Cellcity Lanka Ltd. has been at the forefront of the local tech market and keeping to this, has announced the introduction of yet another world class mobile brand, Xiaomi, to Sri Lanka. The company will commence this initiative by introducing two of its most popular models to Sri Lankan consumers in January 2017 – the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Xiaomi Redmi 3. The brand which is generally sold online around the world will be available through Cellcity Lanka’s retailer network for the first time ever in Sri Lanka.

Xiaomi is currently the world’s fourth largest mobile phone manufacturer and is currently ranked as China’s number 1 mobile; all this in a mere five years since the launch of its first phone in 2011. Hailed by tech lovers as their go-to mobile phone brand, Xiaomi phones have speedily gained popularity thanks to their innovative features and cutting-edge design, coupled with affordable prices that make them accessible to a wide range of consumers. Xiaomi is also renowned for its wide range of products including Mi Power Banks, Mi Smart TVs, smart devices such as Mi band, Mi VR and Mi head phones etc;. 

Cellcity Lanka is currently also the exclusive agent for Meizu and Zigo mobile brands, and has partnered with Boswin Lanka to now bring the Xiaomi experience to the Sri Lankan market – Xiaomi mobiles will be available for purchase island-wide this month through Cellcity Lanka’s wide dealer network.

“Xiaomi is a young smartphone brand that has literally revolutionised the global smartphone market with its unique approach to business. Xiaomi smartphones are known for their uncompromising quality that’s on par with the highest standards, andtheir unconventional business approach enables them to offer their products at affordable prices to consumers. We are pleased to have partnered with Boswin Lanka and Xiaomi to now bring the unmatchable Xiaomi experience to the Sri Lankan consumers,” said Cellcity Lanka Director Upul Fernando when commenting on Xiaomi’s entry into Sri Lankan market.

He further noted that given the current levels of saturation in Sri Lanka’s mobile phone market with existing brands, Cellcity believes that local consumers now need the opportunity to explore more alternatives before purchasing a smartphone of their choice. 

“It is with this understanding that we are launching Xiaomi phones in Sri Lanka as itis a popular brand amongst tech-savvy smart phone users across the globe. A technologically advanced phone like Xiaomi, which is also affordable, can definitely broaden the horizons of the Sri Lankan smartphone lover’s experience,” added Boswin Ltd. CEO Prasad Vidanalage, while explaining the objective behind introducing the new brand into the local market.

The Mi 5 was the first Xiaomi phone to be unveiled under the massive spotlight of the world’s biggest mobile expo – the MWC in Barcelona. With its impressive outlook and functionality, the Xiaomi Mi 5 is an appealing and highly sought-after model by user around the world. The Mi 5 comes with notably thin bezels, a sharp profile, a curved back and a lightweight body – all adding to one of the most impressive exteriors a modern smartphones can hope for.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 is not your usual budget smartphone. The word budget is hardly a good match for an aluminum unibody, a 5” IPS display, a powerful octa-core processor, a 13MP camera, and a beefy 4,100 mAh battery. And yet, here we are. The Xiaomi Redmi 3 may be cheap in price but it does not skimp on features.

Furthermore, Sri Lankan consumers will be able to enjoy the Xiaomi experience with the guarantee provided by Cellcity Lanka, coupled with their unmatched after sales service, which is available to consumers across the country through Cellcity’s island-wide presence.
