The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G will now be available at a price of Rs. 7,999, down from its launch price tag of Rs. 9,999. The price cut is applicable starting Tuesday and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G can be grabbed at its new price from Mi.com, Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal, as well as The Mobile Store and Airtel retail stores.
The Redmi Note 4G went on sale in December last year at Rs. 9,999 and was initially available via the company's flash sale model on Flipkart. The company earlier this year however made the smartphone available via its other online and offline partners in India.
Xiaomi says "lower costs" enabled it to reduce the price of the handset. The price cut seems to be an attempt to make the Redmi Note 4G more competitive against the likes of other affordable 4G LTE smartphones available in the Indian market. The price cut on the Redmi Note 4G brings it around Micromax's Yu Yuphoria, which is selling currently at Rs. 6,999; the Motorola Moto E (Gen 2) 4G, available at Rs. 7,999, and the Lenovo A6000 Plus, retailing at Rs. 7,499.
