Xiaomi to launch Redmi Note in India next month

Xiaomi has started teasing the first India sale of its phablet, the Redmi Note, via Mi India’s facebook page, and will reportedly start selling the device early next month.

The Techolic claims that the date of the sale will be December 2, basing its conclusion on the fact that Flipkart (Xiaomi's exclusive India partner) is always holding the sales on Tuesday. The date can be off by a week or two, of course.

The company has also started a contest on Facebook, giving people a chance to win a Redmi Note. To participate in the contest, which runs till Nov 21st, 9PM, all you have to do is to share the company's Facebook post and submit a creative image showing how much you want to own the device.

The phablet sports a 5.5-inch LED IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. It is powered by a 1.7GHz Mediatek’s MT6592 octa-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 32 GB via microSD card. The device also features a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, and a 3,100mAh battery. The whole thing is powered by Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with MIUI v5 on top.

Previous sales saw Xiaomi burn through its Redmi 1S stock in seconds, so you better be ready when the time comes.
