Xiaomi India has sent out press invites for a launch event on March 20 in New Delhi, and the Chinese conglomerate is expected to launch as many as four smartphones at the event. Going by the invite (seen below) and the emphasis on the 4 and A symbols, the company is expected to launch the Xiaomi Redmi 4, Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime, Xiaomi Redmi 4X, and Xiaomi Redmi 4A smartphones in India.

Three of these devices were launched in China in November, and the Redmi 4 is priced at CNY 699 (roughly Rs. 6,900), Redmi 4 Prime is priced at CNY 899 (roughly Rs. 8,900), while the Redmi 4A is priced at CNY 499 (roughly Rs. 4,900) respectively. The Redmi 4X was launched just last month and was made available in two variants - 2GB of RAM with 16GB storage priced at CNY 699 (approximately Rs. 7,000), and 3GB of RAM with 32GB storage priced at CNY 899 (approximately Rs. 8,500).

To recap on the specifications, the Redmi 4 bears a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel camera, 16GB of inbuilt storage, and a 4100mAh battery.

The Redmi 4 Prime sports a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display, a 2GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of inbuilt storage, and Bluetooth v4.2 connectivity. Apart from this, all other specifications match the Redmi 4.

The cheaper variant Redmi 4A does not sport a fingerprint sensor at the back, and sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, a 1.4GHz quad-core Snapdragon 425 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel sensor, 16GB of inbuilt storage, and a 3120mAh battery.

Lastly, the Redmi 4X sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, supports 4G VoLTE, and packs a 4100mAh battery. All the four smartphones run on MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Seems like international and Indian variants have different specs.
Scratch that, I was looking at the Redmi Note 4X specs. Their phone naming scheme is a headache.

What happened to the other phones? Wonder why they launched only one version.

Q: Is Redmi Note 4X the same as Redmi Note 4 that has been launched here?

Redmi 4X is easily available online. This flash sale of Redmi is a big farce imo.

With duty it would become around 14k I think.
 
I don't see anything wrong with rolling out on Band 1, but they will not be able to support the newer Xiaomi Redmi phones. Earlier, band 40 was not present anywhere except China.
