After the mind blowing success of the Xiaomi Mi3, the company has placed some more faith into the Indian market and has come out with the new Xiaomi Redmi Note.
It is expected to hit the markets in a couple of weeks and will be available on Flipkart. The very first bit of information that raises eyebrows is the price. Rs.9999/-. Pretty good for what’s been given.

The phablet comes with a 5.5 inch screen and powered by a 1.7 Ghz processor. It has a strong battery rating of 3100 mAh which is good enough to last for a day.
The rear camera is a nice and subtle 13MP while the front camera is a good 5MP. This should satisfy all our photographers and selfie-addicts.
What this company offers for the money they take is really astonishing. Note would wonder the quality standards maintained in these devices. No matter how tempting it looks, a few weeks wait shouldn’t harm anyone if they want to check the delivering power of this model.

Looking at the feedback from various users of other countries, this phone maybe all pretty outside but shows some flaws when used. A lot of the users complain of irregular network and sulk about the quality of the UI.
However, the price, the specs, the brand and the stylish sleek look, all make this phone a really good one to watch out for. Availability may be an issue with the limited sale but that never stopped the buyers!
