Redmi Note 5 Pro, Xiaomi Mi A2, Redmi Y2 are all cheaper by Rs. 1,000 in India, with Redmi Note 6 Pro set to launch in the country next week.
Xiaomi is the number one smartphone brand in India for Q3 2018, according to IDC. This makes Xiaomi reign in on the top position for the fifth consecutive quarter, and to celebrate this milestone, the Chinese giant has dropped the prices of three phones in India, the company said on Friday. Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain has announced that Xiaomi is dropping the prices in India of Xiaomi Mi A2, Xiaomi Redmi Y2, and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro smartphones by Rs. 1,000. The company says that the price cut has been possible due to the price reduction of some of its component costs. Apart from the price drops, Jain separately also confirmed that Xiaomi is launching the Redmi Note 6 Pro in India on November 22.
