Xiaomi Launches the Mi 5 in India for Rs. 24999

At an event held in New Delhi, Xiaomi has finally launched the Mi 5 in India for a price of Rs 24990 for the base variant.

The phone will feature the Snapdragon 820 processor with 3 GB or RAM and 32 GB storage. With a 16 MP main camera and a 4 MP, 2-micron pixel size, front camera, the Mi 5 will go on sale on the 6th of April.

The price of the phone is more than people expected, as the base variant was supposed to be around 22000, as the Chinese price of the smartphone is around Rs. 20000.

Xiaomi is not launching the 64 GB variant, or even the Mi 5 Pro in India today with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Which is a huge disappointment for Xiaomi and Mi 5 fans. Another let down is the launch only in the white color, with the gold and silver colors not in sight.

Has Xiaomi rushed the launch of the Mi 5 to an extent where they are just trying to fulfil a promise to people, with a price and fewer options than ever before?  Either way, the phones are expected to run out of stock early, unless you can score an F-Code.

    Exactly, SD820 is good to have, but partially there’s no use of such high end proccy for most users

    Thabraiz UL Aalam Yep. They’re not same. And tell me how will most people use the extra processing power of the SD 820. There’s no “practical” difference. I expect Mi India to launch a low-end processor version named the Mi 5i probably, with important features in India like the camera, and a below 16k price.

    yup :) if u can compromise the camera quality (not much of an issue) u can buy Note 3 which is exactly the same thing for half the price :3

    Waste. I Simply skipped the Note 3 and waited for the 64GB Mi5. Now that is not available and a massive 13K more than Note 3 32GB?? Forget Camera and SD 820, we just want a Phone that doesn’t lag and also with a MicroSD – Redmi 3 will do that – or even Samsung Galaxy J7 2016.

    they launched it 20k in China and charging extra 5000 in India. for a 3GB/32GB with no SD card support, I don’t think it is a good buy.
