The phrase, ‘Paint the town Red,’ in the poster accompanying the tweet was seen as a confirmation that this is the Redmi 2. Xiaomi had recently announced a price-cut for the Redmi Note 4G which is now available for Rs 7,999, down from the original launch price of Rs 9,999.
Additionally the Xiaomi Mi 4 (16GB) was given a price cut. Launched in January at a price of Rs 19,999, the 16GB version of Mi 4 is now priced at Rs 14,999. The Mi 4 was first introduced in China last year.
