All but confirmed! Xiaomi Redmi 6 series phones ‘coming soon’ to India
While the Redmi 5 has been a popular phone in India, Xiaomi is on the verge of launching its Redmi 6 series phones in the country.
Redmi series phones from Xiaomi are quite popular in India and now the Chinese company is all set to launch it latest iteration, the Redmi 6 series, in India. The popular series is already available in three variants – that is, a standard model along with Redmi 6 Pro and Redmi 6A – in the international market. Now, Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi Global VP and MD, shared a tweet that hinted at the imminent launch of these smartphones.
On his personal Twitter handle, Jain shared a video that shows the number 6 with three smartphone outlines behind it. “#DeshKeNayeSmartphones! Mi fans! We’ve got more than one for you! Coming very soon,” the tweet read. While this does not overtly mention launch of the Redmi 6 Series phones, it is a hint. Two of the smartphones feature no display notches, while the third does, clearly pointing at the Redmi 6 Pro, which is the only one among the three to sport a display notch.
While Jain didn’t reveal a launch date, a report by NDTV Gadgets claims that the Redmi 6 series will be launched in India on September 5th. Apparently Mi India has sent media invites that show the same three smartphones revealing September 5th as date for a launch event in New Delhi.
As information about these upcoming phones is already available on Mi global home page, here’s a glimpse of what might be coming to India next. In the home country, Redmi 6 price is set at CNY 799 for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB inbuilt storage variant, and CNY 999 for the model with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage.
