Xiaomi was declared the top company in the Indian smartphone market in the third quarter of 2018 by International Data Corporation (IDC). The Chinese company that entered India in 2014 has enjoyed an overwhelmingly mighty response among the users due to the affordable pricing across its products, which helped it take on the bigwigs including Samsung. The company is now celebrating its success by offering discounts on some of its popular smartphones permanently. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, Redmi Y2, and Mi A2 prices in India have been slashed, the company announced on Friday, November 16.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Price
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is one of the top-selling smartphones in India in the mid-range category. The smartphone was launched earlier this year in two variants – 4GB/64GB and 6GB/64GB at a price of Rs 13,999 and Rs 16,999, respectively. However, Xiaomi hiked the price of the former by Rs 1,000 due to the import duty rejig and falling Indian rupee value in May this year.
During the Diwali sale, Xiaomi slashed the price of both the variants by Rs 2,000, however it reversed the pricing back to the original after the festive season was over. Now, the company has announced that both the Redmi Note 5 Pro variants will see permanent price cuts and will be available at Rs 13,999 and Rs 15,999, respectively from Friday onwards.
