which has gained huge popularity in India, has launched the “Made-in-India”
Redmi Note 4G at a price of Rs. 8,499 in an exclusive partnership with Amazon

According to a tweet sent out by Xiaomi
India the phone will start selling from December 15 at 10.00 am.
This budget smartphone comes with a

Earlier in August this year, Xiaomi had
announced that it would manufacture its devices locally in India, in a show of
commitment to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make-in-India” initiative.
The company kicked off its ‘Make in India’ plans with the launch of its first
smartphone manufactured in India Redmi 2 Prime. All of Xiaomi’s phones are
manufactured in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh, in partnership with Foxconn
Technology Group.
“The ‘Make-in-India’ programme allows us
to cut costs. We can operate here either with little or zero inventory. Over
time, every Xiaomi phone sold in India will be made in India,” Hugo Barra, vice
president, Xiaomi Global, had said.
The company has been teasing fans in the
country leading them on to guess the model of its next smartphone launch on
December 15.
According to the conversation between
Xiaomi India and Amazon on Twitter with hashtag #PrimeIsComing revealed that is
not Redmi Note 2 Prime. All the latest tweets from Xiaomi India hinted that it
could launch the successor to the Redmi Note 4G.
The first tweet read: “#PrimeIsComing with
twice the memory than its predecessor!“ The photo shows the earpiece and
capacitive buttons of the smartphone and has a caption, “16GB flash memory with
32GB microSD slot.”
The tweet which follows the first one
reads: “If you’re looking for stunning display, look no further!
#PrimeIsComing.” As per a BGR.in report, the photo showing the smartphone’s
display and a book with “99 99,” could be a hint that the smartphone would be
priced at Rs 9,999.
There are also rumours that Xiaomi would
launch the Mi5 in the country on January 21.
