Xiaomi is making the Redmi 4 available to purchase in India on Tuesday, as is its weekly practice. The smartphone will be available via Amazon India and Mi.com from 12pm IST. The smartphone will be available in its Black and Gold colour variants. To recall, the Xiaomi Redmi 4 was launched in India back in May, and was made available in three RAM/ storage variants - 2GB RAM/ 16GB storage, 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage, and 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage.
The Xiaomi Redmi 4 (Review) smartphone available in India is actually the Redmi 4X that was launched in China back in February this year, and not the China variant of the Redmi 4 that was launched in November last year. With the decision, Xiaomi brought the variant powered by the newer Snapdragon 435 SoC to the country, rather than the ageing Snapdragon 430 SoC on the original.
The Xiaomi Redmi 4 price in India starts at Rs. 6,999 for the 2GB RAM/ 16GB storage variant, and goes up to Rs. 8,999 for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant, and Rs. 10,999 for the 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant.
