Xiaomi has a range of different brands, which can make things confusing. First up, it has its core Xiaomi products - these used to have the 'Mi' moniker, but now they're simply branded with the company's name. This is where you'll find its latest flagships and foldables, but also plenty of cheaper options. Budget phones come from the Redmi sub-brand. These are still made by Xiaomi, but the Redmi brand is a signal that a phone will be cheaper than the core line. Then there's Black Shark. This is the company's gaming phone line, with a focus on pure performance and features like advanced cooling, extra controls, and bold designs. Finally, Poco. While Poco started as a Xiaomi sub-brand, it's technically been spun off as an independent company since then. However, it still shares Xiaomi's R&D and uses Xiaomi software, so Poco phones are often quite similar to Xiaomi and Redmi models. They tend to be affordable, like Redmi devices, with a particular focus on power and performance.
