Amit, 23 Jun 2018They won't. from redmi 4 to redmi 6 , they only downgraded and same for redmi note 3 to redmi ... moreFrom Redmi 4 to Redmi 6, they did offer higher capacity storage, introduced the bezel less design, improved overall software, better dual cameras, and also better durability.
From Redmi Note 3 to Redmi Note 5, performance got a massive leap (don't let the Snapdragon 650 vs 636 fool you), battery life was improved, cameras and software are also improved, new bezel less design being incorporated, more storage capacity, and better availability too.

If they all care about is profit, then they shouldn't be making smartphones anymore since most of their profits are coming from their own 3rd party online services, mostly MIUI (and no, they aren't just exclusive to Xiaomi smartphones). They also have cheap yet high quality appliances and accessories, which is also more than enough to draw a lot of money to them back. This is the reason why Xiaomi smartphones are so cheap. They don't emphasize on this area too much, but they promise to make them worth it and still an overall very satisfactory feedback to all customers.
If they won't improve on their smartphones, they would rather stop making them instead, which is basically what's going to happen to them in the end if ever they do that.

          Since they have captured Indian market, their focus is now on making more margins.

            Of course, this move just made Xiaomi to play better. Who knows, they might offer Snapdragon 660, FHD+ 18:9 bezel less, 4GB RAM, dual 12+12MP rear, 16MP front, USB C and headphone jack, 64GB base storage, Android One, and 4000mAh battery for only $120 in the near future.

                Realme is oppo's first online exclusive phone and for Asus they didnt get succeed after Zenphone 2 at lest in india ,coz we indian are very price sensitive. so thats why they priced it very aggressively.

                  2) Asus Zenfone Max pro with INR.1000($15) MORE with more powerful Snapdragon 636 , 5000mAH battery(+2000 More),Full HD+ Display , Stock Android.

                  In india it's wrongly priced or say , this device doesn't make a sense.

                  However in other international market, it'll be good.

                    Geric.770, 23 Jun 2018Great phone for that given price. Yup, the SD625 is still on stock XDYea but thankfully is now moving down to the super budget segment where it properly belongs to now.
                    625 for $150 means we may finally get 636 for $200 Redmis.

The Redmi S2 maybe not a value-for-money phone in India and other emerging markets (Redmi S2 with 3 gigs RAM and 32 gigs internal storage in Indonesia sold for IDR2.6M/USD185), but in other markets will, especially the newly-expanded markets such as Europe

                                  Hoping that EIS, 1080p@60fps, improved microphone quality, and portrait stuff would be released on my Redmi 5 Plus.
                                  Also hoping the same 4K videos for this Redmi S2, which is a beast in its price segment.

                                        Anonymous, 22 Jun 2018For the price it's good. Much better than sd450. I agree, SD 625 is still quite efficient and fast. Switching to 630 would mean higher price point and switching to SD450 means compromised overall performance.
                                        I think they made a good choice here.
