Xiaomi is gearing up to launch a new device in India and we think it is the recently announced Redmi 2
. The Redmi 2 was launched in China in January for 699 CNY (US $113 / INR Rs 7,120 approximately).
Xiaomi is holding a contest on their Facebook page to win priority pass for the upcoming device. You will need to go here and find 3 keywords which are related to the device. Then post your answers and tag three of your friends.
In this word puzzle, we can find out words like “Snapdragon”, “Expandable”, “Wide-angle”. So, it is definitely not the Mi Band, which is also supposed to launch in India soon, but the Redmi 2. If you want to buy this smartphone, you can play the contest and win priority pass which will save you the hassle of flash sales.
Launching the Redmi 2 in India also makes complete sense since Redmi 1s is not currently available on Flipkart. It packs in 4G LTE along with a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset and should be priced at Rs 6,999 in India exclusively available on Flipkart. It is also expected to be sold via flash sales. Lets recap the specifications of Redmi 2. We do not have the exact launch date yet but it is expected very soon.
