Xiaomi Redmi 4, the rather popular budget smartphone from the Chinese smartphone manufacturer, will go on sale in the country on Monday. The smartphone will go on sale via Amazon India at 5pm IST, just ahead of the start of the e-commerce site's Amazon Prime Day sale - which kicks off at 6pm IST. It will be exclusively available for Amazon Prime members.
To recall, Xiaomi Redmi 4 model launched 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 move, 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.
As for sale offers, Amazon India is continuing the same offers it has been offering for the past few weeks - the e-commerce site will give Xiaomi Redmi 4 buyers a free 12-month Hungama Music subscription; a free 3-month Hungama Play subscription; 45GB free data from Vodafone, and Rs. 200 promotion credit for Kindle books if you download and sign in to the Kindle app on your Redmi 4.
