In related news, Xiaomi global head, Hugo Barra has revealed that company is making arrangements to launch Mi4 and Redmi Note in India in a few months time and also confirmed that Xiaomi Mi3 won't be making a comeback in India.

The company has completely shut down the production of 2013 flagship phone to shift focus on Xiaomi Mi4. Though some stocks (a few thousand units) of Mi3 are still available in the inventory, they have been held back for precautionary replacements for sold devices, which have a few more months of company warranty.

Once it is certain that the devices are no longer needed for replacement purposes, Mi3 might get released in a small flash sale, but won't be making a full-fledged return.
