Smartphone price cuts drive strong sales for Xiaomi in Argentina and boost POCO demand in Spain

The Xiaomi Redmi 15C has become one of the most sought‑after phones in Argentina in 2026, helped by a zero‑tariff policy on imported devices that took effect on 15 January 2026. Prices on Mercado Libre start near AR$280,000 and rise to over AR$400,000 for higher‑spec versions, while its 6.9‑inch display, 6000 mAh battery and extensive after‑sales network have boosted consumer confidence.

In Spain, the POCO F8 Pro is being promoted at under €600, with a 512 GB storage variant priced at €584 on Amazon. The phone features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12 GB RAM, a 6.59‑inch AMOLED panel with 120 Hz refresh, a triple‑camera setup and a 6210 mAh battery that can last two days for heavy use. Its discounted price and long‑term software support (updates through 2030) are presented as a compelling alternative to higher‑priced flagship models from Samsung and OnePlus.
