Xiaomi event slated for 20 March. The invite hints at the launch of the Redmi 4A.  A series of announcements are expected.   

Xiaomi has sent invites for its launch event taking place in Delhi on 20 March. The invite hints at the possible launch of the Redmi 4 and Redmi 4A that was launched in China late last year.

The 4A is said to be priced around CNY599, which is roughly ₹5700. This means the Xiaomi device could be priced somewhere in the same price bracket. The device will be Amazon-exclusive.

The Redmi 4A sports a 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels of resolution, Snapdragon 425 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB onboard storage, 13MP rear and 5MP front-facing cameras, and a 3120mAh battery. It doesn't come fitted with a fingerprint scanner. 

However, there could be a couple of invites. And, the company may also launch the other devices in the Redmi 4 series including the Redmi 4 priced at CNY 699 that is roughly ₹6900), Redmi 4 Prime priced at CNY 899 (approx ₹8,900), and the Redmi 4X available in two variants priced at CNY 699 (roughly ₹7,000) and CNY 899 (approx ₹8,500) respectively.

Manu Jain, VP and MD at Xiaomi India, and Product Lead Jai Mani will be present at the event. The company recently disclosed that more than one million Redmi Note 4 units were sold in 45 days. Redmi Note 4 was launched in India earlier this year and received accolades for the value for money it offers.
