We are just a few hours before Xiaomi’s first 2018 event in India. With the #Giveme5 premise the company is about to unveil the fifth generation of the very successful and popular Redmi Note line.
Previous rumors were pointing to the announcement of not only one but two devices carrying India’s favorite phablet name – Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro, thanks to a pair of leaks we’ve got a glimpse of alleged specifications for both devices. But the price still was a mystery, not for so long I would say.
A new set of screenshots from Flipkart were revealed by a Twitter user called @IshanAgarwal24. The leak reveals the Indian price for both Redmi Note 5 and Note 5 Pro. If these leaks are to be believed, then both handsets will deliver a very good value for money.
