Flipkart has already tied up with Motorola for exclusive Moto E, Moto G and Moto X launch and now they have roped in another solid manufacturer Xiaomi who is known for Over The Value smartphone with great build quality and MIUI softwares.



Flipkart will sell Xiaomi Mi 3 at just ₹ 14,999 which is awesome as its specification even eclipses that of Samsung Galaxy S4 and considering MRP of S4₹ 29,000 it ain't a bad deal.

Along with Mi 3 we can expect to see Redmi Note which may be priced at ₹ 10,999 and Redmi 1S which is similarly spece'd to Moto G at ₹ 8,999. The only negative currently will be India is huge market and providing customer support for a new company will prove to be Achilles Hills.

All in all these devices are great and get sold out as soon as they are shown in stock so make sure you are ready on time to place order if you really want to buy a Xiaomi product.
