Goldman Sachs published a research report stating that the national subsidy policy for smartphones, tablets, smart bracelets and watches has been launched since January 20, predicting that smartphone products priced between 3,300 and 6,000 yuan will benefit the most, and Xiaomi Group is expected to be one of the main beneficiaries.
