Redmi Note Prime Launched in India; Specs Include 5.5-Inch Display, Snapdragon 410 Chipset, 4G Support
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has launched another variant in their Redmi line. After the Redmi 2 Prime, the company has now released the Redmi Note Prime, which is the second product in their line that is made in India in collaboration with Foxconn in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.
According to Phone Arena, the Redmi Note Prime is basically the same device as the Redmi Note 4G that was released back in summer of 2014 but is an enhanced version of it, coming with a slight boost in specs. It doesn't come as a surprise anymore though since the first made-in-India smartphone, the Redmi 2 Prime, also arrived with just very little upgrade.
The Indian Express detailed that beginning Dec. 15, interested buyers can now purchase the handset. It will come with a price tag of Rs 8,499 and will be exclusively available on Amazon.in and Mi.com. As for the specs, the Xiaomi Note Prime comes with a larger display compared to the Redmi 2 Prime. Sporting a 5.5-inch touchscreen IPS HD display, the Redmi Note Prime has a resolution of 720 pixels by 1280 pixels.
