Now after the launch there were a lots of Ho Ha on social networking sites and Mi Forums from Indian Xiaomi Fans. We (Indian Fans) were expecting Xiaomi to launch Mi 5 with all variants (specially 64GB/128GB Pro). But Xiaomi has just launched a phone with underclocked process at Rs.24,999 in which user cannot expand the size of its memory.
People were expecting Xiaomi to launch Mi 5 with the chinese price tag like 1999 yuan (Rs.20,000) for 32GB variant, 2299 yuan (Rs.23,000) for 64GB varaint and 2699 yuan (Rs.27,000) for 128 GB variant. But Xiaomi Launched Mi 5 at Rs.24,999. Due to which people who were desperately waiting for 2.2GHz variant are sad (including me). But Mi 5 is really a beast at even 1.8GHz Snapdragon 820. We hope Xiaomi will soon launch the 64GB and 128GB variant in India.
