Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi launched the Redmi 5 smartphone last year in China, and then last month, it launched the Redmi 5 in India as well. The Redmi 5 was sold through flash sales every week on Mi.com, Amazon India, and through Mi Home stores. But starting today, the Redmi 5 is available for purchase through open sale in the country.
Until now, customers had to register for flash sales if they wanted to buy the Redmi 5. But now that the smartphone has gone on open sale, there’s no need to register for any flash sales. As far as the phone is in stock, you can purchase it anytime you want.
