Xiaomi India MD Manu Kumar Jain announced the price-cut on Twitter, where he also revealed that the Redmi Note 4 is now being sold via Amazon India as well. Amazon is the third e-retailer after Flipkart and Mi.com to sell the smartphone. The Redmi Note 4 is also offered via various offline retail partners of the company as well as Mi Home stores.
The latest price-revision for Redmi Note 4 comes at a time when rumours of its impending successor are flying all around us. According to online reports, Xiaomi is planning to release the Redmi 5 Plus as Redmi Note 5 in the country. Xiaomi Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus were introduced in China last month with 18:9 screen and improved specifications.
We have seen several theories about the Redmi Note 5 and how the phone is going to materialise, but most theories always come back to the Redmi 5 Plus and how it was originally supposed to be Redmi Note 5. Anyway, whatever Xiaomi might end up doing, it is high time for the company to introduce a successor to Redmi Note 4 in India. The likes of Honor have already started coming with impressive competitors to the Redmi Note 4.
Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus does seem like a good follow-up to the Redmi Note 4. It features a 5.99-inch 2160x1080p screen, Android 7.1.2-based MIUI 9 operating system, fingerprint sensor, dual-SIM support, 4G VoLTE connectivity and IR blaster.
