Every Redmi Sale had been exciting and this one too will be as exciting specially there will be a crazy rush for the Redmi Note 5 Pro that for now is the best one can buy for under Rs. 15,000. Add to this at 2PM another exciting sale for the Xiaomi Mi TV 4.

I have done the review of both Redmi Note 5 and the Redmi Note 5 Pro, do check the review if you haven’t and also check the comparison among the Redmi Note 5 Pro vs Mi A1. Both are really good smartphones but if you have the budget / can extend the budget then better go with the Redmi Note 5 Pro.
