"Xiaomi signed a partnership with e-commerce company B2W to boost sales of its smartphones in Brazil. As a result, e-commerce sites Americanas.com, Submarino, and Shoptime will sell the mobile phones of the Chinese manufacturer,. The first devices to go on sale will be the Mi 9, Mi 8 Lite, Redmi Note 7, Redmi 7, Redmi Go, Redmi Note 6 Pro, and Pocophone F1. Samsung and Moto own the lion’s share of the Brazil smartphone market, which is one of the toughest markets to do business within Latin America due to local manufacturing and sourcing mandate and secondly distribution. Apple, Huawei, Alcatel, and LG have struggled to make headway into these markets over the years. Xiaomi is sensing this opportunity with Huawei and Alcatel struggling. Xiaomi is looking to take a crack at this market again after failing to capitalize almost three years ago. It has also opened up its first branded store in Sao Paulo to build brand recognition. However, we will have to see how Xiaomi expands on its local smartphone manufacturing strategy to remain price competitive with rivals." – Neil Shah
