After a week of teasing, Xiaomi is all set to launch the much awaited Redmi Note 6 Pro in New Delhi on 22 November.
The Redmi Note 6 Pro unveiling event is slated to kick-off in the afternoon at 12:00 pm. The specification is already in the public domain, as it made the global debut way back in September in Thailand, but the only mystery is the price, that company will reveal it later today.
Like previous product programmes, Xiaomi has made arrangements to webcast the entire event for fans so that they catch live action on their smartphones or on PCs.
