- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 24-hour sale exclusively on mi.com
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 price starts at Rs 9,999
Xiaomi released the Redmi Note 5 series in February in India, but it's been really frustrating for prospective consumers to get their hands on the device, as the flash sales, despite being hosted twice a week, get over within a few seconds. Now, the company has opened 24-hour sale on April 25 in India.
The open sale is already live and will close today midnight 11:59 pm. However, buyers can shop for the Redmi Note 5 only on Mi.com. It is available in two configurations — 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage — for Rs 9,999 and Rs 11,999, respectively
With decent specifications and cost-effective price-tag, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 [review] is one of the best budget smartphones in the market.
For those unaware, the Redmi Note 5 sports a 5.9-inch full HD+ (2160x1080p) FullView screen with 18:9 aspect ratio and houses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core, 3GB/4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB storage, Android Nougat-based MIUI 9.5 OS, hybrid SIM slots, 3.5mm audio jack, single 12MP primary camera, a 5MP front snapper and a 4,000mAh battery.
After Redmi Note 5 open sale, it would be great if Xiaomi hosts a similar sale for Redmi Note 5 Pro, which is actually more popular among customers in India.

The company has to scale up the production or else consumers will go for rival brands such as feature-rich Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 [hands-on review], which falls in the same price range and offers similar specifications and a big 5,000mAh battery.
