No doubt Xiaomi has quality, but such expensive smartphones which lack the essential features are a not choice of the customers.
Redmi Note 9 Pro Max totally fails to impress the customer nearly at 17k, and personally, I wont prefer Snapdragon 720G processor at this price.
In fact, there are smartphone with better specs at just half the price and I dont think people would spend extra just for the brand name.
The camera sound excellent, but the battery and the storage features again kill the impression and overall, the smartphone fails to impress. I think Xiaomi should come down with the costs a bit to ensure a re-entry kin the smartphone market
