Ooredoo Oman has signed an exclusive one-year distribution deal with China-based Xiaomi, the third largest smartphone maker in the world. Under the terms of the agreement, Ooredoo will be the first mobile provider in the country to offer Xiaomi handsets.

Starting from March 10 Ooredoo customers will be able to purchase four of Xiaomi’s best-selling and flagship products including the Redmi 2E, Redmi 2 Note, Mi 4i, and Mi 4i Note Pro. The devices will range from RO50 ($130) to RO200 in price.

Johan Buse, chief commercial officer at Ooredoo, said: “At Ooredoo, we aim to bring the latest devices to our customers and with Xiaomi, we have found a partner that puts the latest technology at their fingertips at fantastic value for money. With handsets designed to be feature-rich and affordable, Xiaomi has proven to be more than capable of standing alongside iPhone and Samsung devices as a market-leading lifestyle brand.”

Ooredoo will be introducing the new devices in multiple phases, with the Xiaomi hero devices expected to be launched in Q1 of 2016. The exclusive handsets will be available for purchase from any of Ooredoo’s 40 stores across the Sultanate.
