Xiaomi India Teases 'Desh ka Smartphone' Will Have Great Battery Life, Redmi 5A Expected
In other Xiaomi[4] news, the company is set to launch the 'Desh ka Smartphone'[5] in India on November 30. The Redmi India Twitter account teased[6] a smartphone with great battery life - pointing at either a large battery or optimised software in the form of MIUI 9. Speculation points to the Xiaomi Redmi 5A[7] as the prime candidate for launch on November 30. The reasons are aplenty. First is the fact that the Redmi India handle was used to tweet, revealing it would be a Redmi-branded device. Secondly is its price - CNY 599 (roughly Rs. 5,800). A third reason for this is its battery life - Xiaomi says it will offer a battery life up to 8 days. It also runs MIUI 9 out-of-the-box.
