Microsoft ., the main creator of Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile, is entering the Android field even more dynamically, not only with the applications it develops on Google platforms but also with the phones that will be sold directly in its stores worldwide
After announcing a partnership with Samsung to sell the new Galaxy S8 on the Microsoft Store, the giant seems to be expanding into Android devices for good.
The Microsoft Store will now also sell the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus for $334. There is also a 2-year warranty offered with the Xiaomi phone, meaning that anything that happens within 24 months can be repaired for free by the company.
Therefore, with a visit to the Microsoft Store, you are given the opportunity to buy Android phones in addition to those from Microsoft, which under normal circumstances the company would have to avoid since it is a rival operating system.
The Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus comes loaded with Microsoft applications such as Excel, Skype, OneDrive, etc. as this seems to be its method of "invading" Android devices.
Note that Microsoft has not yet confirmed its expansion to Android phones and there is no evidence that the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus will be available in Microsoft stores in the United States.
For information, Xiaomi is a Chinese manufacturing company, so it is very surprising that a rival company, Microsoft, chooses to include in its stores an Android device that has attracted a lot of public attention recently.
