The Xiaomi Redmi Note phablet was first unveiled back in July in consonance with the launch of the much-acclaimed Mi3 smartphone. However, fans and enthusiasts looking to grab a piece of the device have no clue when D-day shall arrive, only until now, that is. Xiaomi's vice president of international operations, Hugo Barra recently took to his Facebook page to reveal that the Redmi Note could launch soon enough in India. An ecstatic Barra wrote that it just took 40 seconds for 10,000 Xiaomi Redmi Note units to go out of stock in Indonesia, and that the device was coming to India next.
Initially marked to be launched in late August, the device is yet to see the light of day in India. Barra had then in October revealed that the Redmi Note can be expected to launch in India within the next two months. The Facebook post now adds some weight to what Barra had said and therefore an imminent release in late November-early December could be a possibility. Barra however did not reveal an exact date for the launch, therefore chances are the company might not launch the device in the said period as well. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed.
