Redmi Note coming to India next month
Earlier this week, Hugo Barra disclosed that the Redmi
Note will arrive in India soon.
Now, Manu Jain,
head of India
operations,
Xiaomi reveals
that the device
will hit store
shelves next
month. While he
didn’t provide
a definite date,
he did mention
that an official
announcement will be made soon.
This could also mean, the company may discontinue the
‘hot selling’ Redmi 1s from the Indian market. Jain tells us
that the company is also in the process of setting up its
own e-commerce operations in India.
Talking about the Redmi Note, earlier the company had
revealed it would be priced at Rs 9,999. The larger Redmi
Note has a 5.5-inch 720p IPS display. It boasts of 1.7GHz
MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor that we have seen
on the HTC Desire 616 and Micromax Canvas Knight.
It features a healthy 2GB of RAM, making it one of the
cheapest smarpthone with such an high amount of RAM.
Other specs include 8GB onboard storage, microSD card
slot up to 32GB, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front shooter for
selfies and 3100mAh battery.
