Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 now available for pre-order on Mi.com

Xiaomi has started taking pre-orders for the Redmi Note 4, its latest smartphone to hit 1 million sales mark in India. With the new pre-order option, Xiaomi is moving away from the flash sales model and simplifying the process of buying its smartphones. Xiaomi says the handset will be shipped within 5 days of online pre-order and it is only be accepting online payments. Those pre-ordering the smartphone can cancel the order before the smartphone is shipped and the site will allow only one smartphone per pre-order.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 will be the first Xiaomi smartphone to become available via pre-order and the company is expected to offer other smartphones at a later stage. To recall, the Redmi Note 4 was announced as successor to the Redmi Note 3 in January at a starting price of Rs 9,999. The smartphone features a 5.5-inch full HD display and is powered by Snapdragon 625 chipset. The all-metal unibody smartphone comes in three different storage options: 2/3GB RAM model with 32GB storage and 4GB RAM variant with 64GB storage. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 features a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Like its predecessor, it also houses a beefy 4100mAh battery and comes in Gold, Grey and Black colour options.

Xiaomi recently dethroned Lenovo Moto as the second largest smartphone brand in India. The company is also the largest smartphone brand in the online space, but it is yet to establish a strong foothold in the offline retail space. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun recently admitted that offline sales continue to be the biggest challenge for the company. Xiaomi India aims to sell 7 million Redmi Note 4 smartphones and with the pre-order option, the company would be hoping to reach that goal.
