On the day of the Redmi Note 3 launch, Xiaomi also had some other good news in store for us. Hugo Barra at the launch also shared that they are working very hard to get the Mi 5 to India soon and it will be coming in a months time. Mi India also announced on its Twitter page that it will launch the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship in India next month.
The smartphone is currently limited to China where it is said to be breaking new records in terms of sales figures. This was to be expected given that the market has waited a long time for the Mi 5, which is the company's successor to the late 2014 flagship, the Mi 4.
As of now, Xiaomi hasn't given out a precise release date of the smartphone but has merely mentioned that the handset will be up for grabs in April. Considering that the starting price of the Mi 5 in China is somewhere around Rs 20,000 (1999 CNY), we expect the Mi 5 to cost the same when it reaches Indian shores. As for the availability, we expect the likes of Amazon India to be favorites to carry the smartphone, as we saw with the Redmi Note 3 earlier today.
The mid-range Redmi Note 3 is set to hit the markets on the 9th of March via mi.com and Amazon India, while other e-commerce retailers and brick-and-mortar outlets will follow suit subsequently.
