Xiaomi Mi 5, Redmi Note 3 next flash sale to begin today

Xiaomi Mi 5 and Redmi Note 3 will be featured on the exclusive flash sale on Mi.com and Amazon.com starting 2 pm IST on April 20.

Here's what the company tweeted on its official Twitter page:

Mi Power Bank will also go up for sale along with the two flagship handsets. Xiaomi is all geared up for another big day in sales, after having sold over 100,000 units of the handsets in the earlier flash sales.

The Mi 5 features a 5.15in ultra-thin bezel-less full HD display that translates to 428ppi. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 3GB of RAM, the handset packs a lot of punch.

Among other noteworthy features, the phone equips a 16-megapixel rear camera with dual flash, quick focus and 4-axis optical image stabilisation (OIS). Additionally, the handset includes a 4MP secondary camera which is capable of full HD video recording at 30fps.

The handset is limited to 32GB internal storage and there is no option for external microSD expansion.

Xiaomi fans who missed the opportunity to book a Redmi Note 3 during previous flash sales can use another chance through the special sale that's happening today.

Amazon India head Manu Kumar Jain had this to tweet:

The Redmi Note 3 ships in two variants: 16GB (with 2GB of RAM) and 32GB (with 3GB of RAM). The former is priced at ₹ 9,999 while the latter retails at ₹11,999.

It must be noted that both the Redmi models ship with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 650  chipset, 5.5in  display, 4G dual SIM slots, and run Android-based MIUI 7 skin. Featuring a 4.050 mAh battery, the handsets include a fingerprint sensor and a reading mode to overcome eye strain.

The Redmi phones come with 16MP rear camera and 5MP front camera for clicking selfies. One may also use the fingerprint sensor to capture images or click selfies with the rear camera.
