The Redmi note 4 with much better specs is priced​ at Rs.9999 for 2Gb RAM model and Rs.10999 for 3GB RAM variant. It comes with Snapdragon 625 SOC and has 1080p display resolution. The sole purpose of redmi 4 will be a compact form factor and more storage for lesser price. However performance will never be an issue as the 3S with Snapdragon 430 had awesome day to day performance and 435 is just a minor upgrade from the 430. 

Along with the Redmi 4 , Xiaomi also launched the Mi router 3C. The router is priced at Rs.1199.

Mi router 3C with 4 antennas

The router has 4 antennas which for the price point is one of its kind as other brands in this category provide only 2 antennas thus increasing the range. It supports only 2.4gHz band with speeds upto 300mbps. Xiaomi claims to provide software updates and it comes with 64MB RAM.
It has 2 LAN ports, 1 RJ-45 connector port, power port, reset button and has an LED indicator. Although it has 4 antennas, the number of LAN port seems less as tplink routers do provide upto 4 LAN ports. 

This router will also go on sale on 23rd May at 12 pm via Mi.com
