The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X was unveiled last week, and is set to go on sale for the first time on Tuesday, which is Valentine's Day or February 14. While the company hadn't provided price and specifications details during the unveiling, it has made them available in the intervening period.
As per the company site, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is priced CNY 999 (roughly Rs. 9,700) for the regular version, while the Hatsune Miku edition that's being promoted by the company has been priced at CNY 1,299 (roughly Rs. 12,600). To recall, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X Hatsune Miku Limited Edition smartphone comes bundled with a Hatsune Miku-branded back case and a Mi power bank.

The smartphone is listed in Hatsune Miku Green, Cherry Powder, Champagne Gold, Platinum Silver Grey, and Matte Black colour variants.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is nearly identical to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, with minor differences in thickness (8.45mm compared to 8.35mm) and weight (165 grams compared to 175 grams) respectively.
