Earlier this week, Hugo Barra disclosed that the Redmi Note will arrive in India soon. Now, Manu Jain, head of India operations, Xiaomi reveals that the device will hit store shelves next month.

While he didn’t provide a definite date, he did mention that an official announcement will be made soon.

This could also mean, the company may discontinue the ‘hot selling’ Redmi 1s from the Indian market. Jain tells us that the company is also in the process of setting up its own e-commerce operations in India. When asked about the time frame, he said, “It would be very difficult to say. It could happen anytime between the next four to six months.”

This isn’t Jain’s first stint with e-commerce in India. Needless to say, he is the co-founder of the popular e-commerce site Jabong, and could lend his expertise at designing a site for Xiaomi that suits Indian consumers.
Talking about the Redmi Note, earlier the company had revealed it would be priced at Rs 9,999.

The larger Redmi Note has a 5.5-inch 720p IPS display. It boasts of 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor, that we have seen on the HTC Desire 616 and Micromax Canvas Knight. It features a healthy 2GB of RAM, making it one of the cheapest smarpthone with such an high amount of RAM.

Other specs include 8GB onboard storage, microSD card slot up to 32GB, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front shooter for selfies and 3100mAh battery.

It runs Xiaomi’s MIUI OS. The Redmi Note, if you recall, is something of a record breaker in terms of sales, with Xiaomi having sold 10,000 units in just a second in Taiwan

Xiaomi Redmi Note coming to India for Rs 9,999: All you need to know

Xiaomi has been wooing audiences with its ‘value for money’ products and unique flash sales in which devices fly off the shelves in seconds. After the popular Mi 3 and best selling Redmi 1s, the company is now all set to bring the Redmi Note to the Indian market.

It was Hugo Barra who spilled the beans about Note coming to India soon, and later Xiaomi India head, Manu Jain confirmed to tech2 that the device will come to India in December. Without wasting much time, the company quickly came up with a contest on Facebook, further hinting that the Redmi Note is on the way.

With the device rumoured to reach India next week, here’s all you need to know about the Xiaomi Redmi Note.

Design and Display

With the Redmi Note, Xiaomi plans to bring large screen experience on a budget for audiences. The sub-Rs 10,000 device sports a large 5.5-inch HD display with 720 x 1280 pixels of resolution, and a pixel density that goes all the way up to 267 ppi.

Weighing 199 grams, it is slightly heavier than other popular devices that come with a 5.5-inch display. The plastic -built device measures 154 x 78.7 x 9.5 mm. It comes with a removable cover that can be swapped with other designs, but we wonder if these covers will be made available in India.

OS

The Redmi Note runs company’s proprietary MIUI, based on the rather older Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. It comes with drawerless home screens similar to iOS. You will also find several themes and the Lite mode that makes it super-easy for people with visual impairments or even for the tech challenged users. The company has also released the new MIUI 6 that is based on Android KitKat, but heavily inspired by iOS 7. There is no word on whether the Redmi Note will be getting the upgrade.

Processor

The Redmi Note is powered by a ‘true’ octa-core Mediatek processor clocked at 1.6GHz and coupled with 2GB RAM. The MediaTek MT6592 uses all eight cores at the same time.

Camera

This budget Note offers a 13MP rear snapper with LED flash and auto focus. It also supports 1080p recording at 30fps. For selfies and video conferencing, one will also find a 5MP front-facing camera. It comes with camera features like geo-tagging, touch focus, face/smile detection and HDR.

Connectivity

On the connectivity front, one will find all the usual suspects including 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and GLONASS.

Miscellaneous specs

The Redmi Note comes with 8GB onboard storage that is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card slot. There is support for sensors like accelerometer, gyro, proximity and compass.

Pricing and availability

It is confirmed that the Redmi Note will be available in India next month. Though there is no confirmation on the exact date, it is highly speculated to hit stores on December 2. Xiaomi will be selling the Redmi Note in India for Rs 9999

Yeah, my bad again. DDF is such an active forum where it's very difficult to follow all the updates. I did search the forum with the terms "xiaomi" and "redmi" before posting this. I didn't get any results and hence I went ahead. Not sure why the search didn't work.
