Recently I have purchased from Redmi 4a Pre-order on Mi Official website.Why does Redmi 4a not provide earphones with their phones

Xiaomi usually provides earphones with their phones. Unless anyone else knows otherwise?

Because Xiaomi makes budget phones and he can't afford an additional earphone with their already cheap phones.

Yeh, the Redmi series are really Xiaomi's budget range devices. But they do include earphones with their more upscale phones, like the Mix 2.

I've never used the headphones that come with a phone. So if a budget phone can be a little bit cheaper by excluding them, then so be it.

That is my feeling: even for flagships (which I usually buy) I won't use the included earbuds, so to my mind it's less wasteful to not include them. Most people will have a pair already, and if not you can get a pair of earbuds of a similar quality to those included with most phones for a few $/£/€. So although some reviewers chose to moan about it, for me it was a positive that my Pixel 2 didn't include headphones.

Another thought, Xiaomi does a range of Mi earphones and headphones, that they also sell at their phone stores and dealers. So if they can upsell a customer with a pair to go with a new Redmi, that's all the better for Xiaomi.

Ya ,perhaps purchasing an earphone of one's choice is better than paying for those ones .
Today ,most people have earphones in advance.
