Xiaomi wanted to expand its reach beyond its few official markets and it had to do just one thing - give up on MIUI. It all started with the Mi A1 - Xiaomi's first Android One smartphone, and now not one but two sequels are coming to replace it - Mi A2 and Mi A2 Lite.

India is the second largest smartphone market and every maker wants a piece of that pie. So, analysts are tracking it carefully, but their numbers differ. The latest to chime in is IDC and its data shows that Xiaomi has a larger lead than other analysts have suggested. Xiaomi took a 29.7% share of the Q2 shipments with 10 million units.

This may feel like a bit of a deja vu, but today is the official unveiling of the Oppo F9. It boasts a 90.8% screen to body ratio, its 19.5:9 screen covering most of the front and featuring a small V-shaped notch. That notch houses a 25MP selfie camera with hardware support for HDR.
