Xiaomi Redmi 5A launched as “Desh Ka Smartphone”, starts at Rs 4,999 for first 5 million buyers
Redmi 5A will be sold on Flipkart, mi.com and via Xiaomi’s offline partners. It will go on sale from December 7 across all platforms.
Xiaomi has finally taken the wraps off its much-promoted ‘Desh ka Smartphone’, which it turns out is the budget Redmi 5A.
Manufactured at the company’s factory in Sricity in Andhra Pradesh, the phone comes in two price, RAM and storage variants: Rs 5,999 for 2GB/16GB phone and Rs 6,999 for 3GB/32GB phone. However, Redmi is offering a discount of Rs 1,000 to the first five million customers of the 2GB/16GB variant which effectively means the phone will come at a price of Rs 4,999.
As reported earlier, Redmi 5A will be sold on Flipkart, mi.com and via Xiaomi’s offline partners. It will go on sale from December 7 across all platforms.
It will compete directly with Samsung’s J2 and Moto C. According to a recent report from IDC, Xiaomi has surpassed Samsung as the leader in market share of top 50 cities in India. But from the looks of it, Xiaomi is looking to capture small-town India with its new offering. Redmi 5A - successor of the extremely successful Redmi 4A - has been designed keeping in mind the usage habits of people from this segment, as Xiaomi earlier talked about the phone supporting various regional languages.
