Xiaomi is all set to launch one of its more budget friendly smartphones in India, the Xiaomi Redmi 4A, which runs on the Snapdragon 425 processor and comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB onboard storage. The device will be an Amazon India exclusive.

Both phones were launched back in November. The Redmi 4A was priced at 499 Yuan in China or about Rs. 4930 while the Redmi 4 at 699 yuan or Rs. 6900.
