Chinese phone manufacturer Xiaomi on Tuesday announced its entry into Bangladesh with the launch of its Redmi S2 in the country. An official entry comes after the rise in popularity of Xiaomi smartphones in the country, owing largely to their success in neighbouring countries of India and Pakistan. The company also announced the launch of Mi Community, an online forum where Xiaomi users and fans can discuss developments. While not announced at the launch event, the Redmi 5 and Redmi Note 5 are also now officially available in Bangladesh.
