The official photos on Twitter revealed Xiaomi will sell pretty much everything from its product portfolio - from smartphones like the Redmi Note 6 Pro and Pocophone F1 to headphones, Yi cameras, purifiers and plenty of other home appliances. The new store might be the biggest Xiaomi brick-and-mortar retail spot in Europe but at the same time is the second in France’s capital.
