even if it's really launched, wonder how soon it will be available in my country

    This must be the fourth or fifth event that people claim to be about MI5 launch.

      Anonymous, 18 Nov 2015yeah. Paid $1500 to be introduced with a pencil. lolThe iPhone 6s and iPad pro launch is not Apple WWDC. WWDC is a developer conference where they show off the new version of their OS.It cost's 1000$+ because it's a conference where they have workshops and give a headstart to developers. The price is to pay the volunteers, lecturers and to make sure only those serious about it attends it.

      Here Xiaomi is charging 30$ for a product briefing. Man reading some of these comments, most of you guys on this site are really ignorant.

              AnonD-221755, 17 Nov 2015What's with all these 'when will it be in India'? Every tim... moreI know it's beyond annoying and stupid, and it's not just Xiaomi phones either.

                It may be a bit too early for the Redmi Note 2 Pro, But I have my fingers crossed. I'm eager to see what they are doing here. I know the phone is to challenge the Meizu Pro series, but I'm confused as to what Xiaomi's goal is in total. They have the Mi series, They have the Redmi Series, and all variations of A's and C's and I's Enhanced/Pro editions, and Its starting to get confusing.

                  AnonD-430664, 17 Nov 2015Yea it sounds really silly to ask about the launch of a pro... moreWith that logic there would actually be no need to ask the question in the first place since you already know it will be made available.
                  In any case, if you can get your hands on a xiaomi device in Europe then it should pose no obstacle to obtain one in India.

                    Pay to attend a product launch? Talk about Android fanboism.

Every tim... moreYea it sounds really silly to ask about the launch of a product which is a mere speculation at this point of time. But then again keep in mind that only two countries that are gonna get xiaomi phones officially are China followed by india

                        Martin, 17 Nov 2015Yep, but who the hell cares about a Xiaomi event.. i mean i... moreMicrosoft event was the best this year. Apple event was typical, some exciting part but mostly same words. While watching the Android event I felt paralysed because of all the leaks -_-

                              Somewhat older but still very relevant spec wise (mi4) and you have official cm support. Also, you can get them at a decent price.

                                    Would love to get into Xiaomi.. Flagship phones for midrange pricing? but unfortunately for me, i'm a diehard loyalist to CM.. so until they pick up some more support i'll have to wait.

                                    not like they have much of a presence in the US anyway though.

                                      About time Mi5 was here and shown to the world, maybe then Apple and the big boys will see that there is no need to rip people off with prices.....including events at what price!!!

The only difference is the amount of money, seen relatively to the product and its value, they want for their introduced product. But everyone has to decide for themselves where to spend their money.
