    Then they can shut all 500 stores at once and make another Guinness record

      2018-19's the last year Xiaomi is the "No. 1 smartphone brand in the world", assuming they continue with their present strategy of marking up prices over their competetitors, and thinking consumers won't notice. This would have not been the case 3 years back when internet penetration was low. Today everyone knows that, say, Redmi Note 6 Pro is just an excuse to hike an already high price, because of all the Youtubers rightfully trashing it. Wake up Xiaomi.

        "Xiaomi India explained the expansion is part of a “New Retail” model for India where it aims to provide “flagship store experience” to customers in rural areas."

        This is the best part about this news.

Only thing I see on the Guiness site is westerners congratulating themselves on setting one ridiculous or useless "record" after another lolz.

                          What's the deal with Chinese OEMs running for world records? I'm not buying a device because the company opened 500 stores all at once or because the company unboxed 500 phones at once! That's just dumb.
