Android: the guide to activate the "scientific calculator" that is hidden in your smartphone

 There are millions of people around the world who have a Xiaomi mobile device and believe that "Redmi" is another brand independently. However, it is a sub-brand belonging to the aforementioned Chinese company. Something similar happens with "Galaxy", which is owned by the South Korean company Samsung. What does it mean and how is it composed?

Xiaomi has won over its audience by offering mobile devices with good features and at a good price, one of the best on the market. The "Redmi" models are the most popular of the company, for example you have the Xiaomi Redmi 9i, 11 Pro Plus, Note 11 Pro and many more. Did you know that the word "Redmi" is not only a name for the sub-brand? It has a very deep meaning and is made up of two words.

WHAT DOES REDMI MEAN IN XIAOMI CELL PHONES

According to the information released by the Mundo Xiaomi technology portal , it was learned that it all started in 2013, when Xiaomi launched a phone called "Hongmi" on the market, the same one that was sold in different parts of the world as "red rice”, red rice in Spanish.

This model was a bestseller, and because in China the color red has a very important meaning because it represents good luck or a good harvest, likewise, others speculate that it also attracts wealth and drives away bad omens. For this reason, Xiaomi decided to add the word “Network” to its new sub-brand.

Xiaomi managers felt that something else was missing to complete the new sub-brand that they were about to launch, so they added the word "Mi", which means "Milet", a type of very nutritious cereal that is usually consumed on the Asian continent. Finally, they decided to put them together and thus “Redmi” was created.

WHICH IS BETTER: MI OR REDMI?

Both “Mi” brand series and “Redmi” brand series smartphones are manufactured by Xiaomi. Xiaomi Flagship devices belong to the “Mi” brand series. These series phones have higher-end specs, better hardware, and come at a higher price, says website quora.com .

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN XIAOMI AND REDMI?

Redmi is a subsidiary company owned by the Chinese electronics company Xiaomi. It was first announced in July 2013 as a budget line of smartphones and became a separate Xiaomi sub-brand in 2019 with entry-level and mid-range devices, while Xiaomi itself produces high-end and Xiaomi flagship phones. (formerly Mi), explains Wikipedia .
