{Disarmed} Made in Tierra del Fuego: Xiaomi joins forces with the Argentine firm Etercor to produce its own smartphones
Tierra del Fuego welcomes Xiaomi in style. Apparently, and according to a report prepared exclusively by Clarín , Xiaomi intends to increase its presence in Argentina and formally land in the local market, making it a producer with its own identity.
Xiaomi already landed in Argentina a few months ago under a family of very competitive smartphones: the Redmi Note 10, 10S and Redmi Note 10 Pro. The Etercor - Solnik holding company was the firm in charge of distributing Xiaomi products in Argentine territory. But this time it seems that the plan is much more ambitious: transfer rights and produce them under the "Made in Tierra del Fuego" label. Solnik herself would be responsible for its distribution, after-sales service and even repair.
Two Redmi as a spearhead
The Redmi Note 10 5G was the first to land in Argentina. Of this 6.5-inch FullHD+ terminal, equipped with MIUI 12 under Android 11, 100,000 units were exported at quite competitive prices. The stock did not last long and this model gave rise to the landing of the following.
And what were they? The Redmi Note 10s and Redmi Note 10 Pro , two versatile smartphones that were presented in China during the spring of 2021 and are now available in almost 100 countries. In Argentina they made their act of presence during the second week of August.
The Redmi Note 10s landed at a base price of 42,999 Argentine pesos and was available both through financing and direct purchase from the official Xiaomi store in Mercado Libre, as well as from the Frávega or Red Megatone marketplaces. According to the responsible chain, the stock was sold out in less than a month.
Let us remember that this smartphone is presented with a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen and FullHD+ resolution, three versions of 6 and 8GB of RAM and storage ranging from 64GB to 128GB, a MediaTek Helio G95 processor, a four-camera system and a 5,000 mAh battery, plus support for 33W fast charging.
For its part, let us remember that the Pro model landed in two configurations, 4 and 5G. This is a very capable mid-range dressed in a Mediatek Dimensity 1100 octa-core processor, up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of storage .
Powered by a 5,000 mAh battery compatible with 67 W fast charging, this is a mobile that stands out for its triple camera with a 64MP main sensor and for its surround sound from a stereo speaker signed by JBL.
Made in Tierra del Fuego
But this alliance is just the tip of the iceberg. Etercor itself has a factory owned by Solnik, with 400 employees and independent operations , which suggests enough capacity to replicate models that are currently being manufactured in China. I would only need the approval to take the step.
And it is that among the plans of this company is to manufacture for the Chinese brand itself and thus speed up the production and delivery processes, avoiding the absence of stock . It is expected that the "Manufactured in Tierra del Fuego" label will arrive during the first months of 2022 to several products. Etercor itself would take care of everything, including repair and after-sales services, as we pointed out at the beginning.
