This is the season when Xiaomi’s latter strategy is in its full swing. The company which recently slashed the retail price of its flagship Xiaomi Mi 4 smartphone, is all set to slash the price of its mid-range sleeper hit Redmi 2. In a tweet, the company teases its plan to reduce the price of the Redmi 2 by Rs 1,000. The price cut will adjust the retail price of the phone to Rs 5,999, which makes the dirt-cheap rocker even more enticing.
Other features of the dual-SIM capable smartphone which supports 4G LTE include an 8-megapixel snapper with LED flash at the back and a 2-megapixel snapper placed upfront. The phone runs Android 4.4-based MIUI 6 ROM. It comes with a 2,200-mah battery. — Redmi India (@RedmiIndia) July 5, 2015
While the company hasn’t mentioned any such thing, it seems logical that it may have plans to bring the Redmi 2 smartphone with 2GB RAM in India and sell it for Rs 6,999. We will know more on July 7th when the company will make things official. Update: Xiaomi confirms the price drop, but no mention of the Upgraded Version
