Launch of Mi4 is a big factor.

BENGALURU: The Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has put the Redmi Note 4G on regular sale on Flipkart and users can buy the smartphone even without prior registration.
According to a post that appeared on the official Mi page, the company has enough stock of Redmi Note 4G to meet the demand of the customers in India. Earlier, the company opted for the flash sale model as the demand for the device was higher than the stock available.
Also, the fall in the demand for Redmi Note 4G could be also because of the launch of Mi4 in India, which went for the first flash sale on Tuesday, going out of stock within 15 seconds.
The last flash sale of Redmi Note 4G on February 10 saw the company putting 40,000 units of the smartphone up for sale. But, the company didn’t disclose whether all the units got sold out and if so in what duration. The initial sales of the Redmi Note 4G got closed after a few seconds due to the high demand for the device. The initial excitement started fading as flash sale progressed over the next few weeks.
The Redmi Note 4G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 processor and Adreno 305 GPU coupled with 2 GB RAM. Like its 3G variant, this smartphone also has a 5.5 inch HD IPS display with 1280 x 720 pixels. Coming to the camera department the device has a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5 MP front camera for clear selfies.
Redmi Note 4G has an inbuilt storage capacity of 8 GB that can be expanded up to 32 GB via external microSD card.
The device is backed up by a 3,100 mAh battery, sufficient enough for running the smartphone for a whole day. In our review of the Redmi Note 3G, we couldn’t find the heating issue, which has been prevalent in the other models of Xiaomi smartphones.
Redmi Note 4G runs on Android 4.4 optimized with MIUI version 5 on top, upgradable to MIUI v6 early next year.
