Lei Jun announced that there will be further expansions coming later in 2015 with plans to move into the markets in Southeast Asia, Mexico, Turkey, Russia and Brazil. The Chinese smartphone maker also released a new product, its $150 Redmi 2 smartphone which Lei Jun says is a new flagship Mi phone which typically sells for $300.
