Buzz has been skyrocketing on Xiaomi's Facebook. Enthusiasts have poured their hearts out, urging Xiaomi to bring the Redmi Note to India. The moment of truth is here! The Redmi Note phablet is set to hit the Indian market on 24th November, Monday, at just 9,999 INR or even less!

Just like any Xiaomi product, the Redmi Note goes way beyond the price in terms of hardware. It boasts an IPS LCD screen, a robust 5.5-inch display, and a stunning 720p HD resolution. Under the hood, it runs a MediaTek MT6592 True Octa-core SoC, paired with 2 GB of RAM and an 8 GB internal storage.

The device doesn't stop there. It's equipped with a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front camera, and a generous 3200 mAh battery. While the software seems outdated with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean based MIUI, it's clear that the Redmi Note is set to compete with the best domestically.

These specs are just the starting point, laying the groundwork for a satisfying user experience. But with the Redmi Note's arrival, whispers suggest that the Redmi 1s will be on sale one more time on 25th November. Stay tuned for updates as we'll be there on the scene to bring you the latest news as it unfolds. Expect availability to be set for 2nd December, 2014.

With the OnePlus One preparing to storm India, many wonder if launching the Xiaomi Mi4 flagship would have been more strategic. Perhaps Xiaomi is simply biding its time to see how OnePlus plays its hand.
