Another Xiaomi device called the Mi Max will be launched in India soon. The Chinese technology giant has confirmed that it will host an event in New Delhi on June 30 to announce several details of the device, including its price and availability.
Xiaomi Mi Max was released in China last month. It comes in three variants -- one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650, 32GB internal storage and 3GB RAM priced at 1499 Yuan (around $230/Rs. 15,300); second model with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, 64GB internal memory and 3GB RAM with a price tag of 1699 Yuan (around $260/Rs. 17,400); and the third variant with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652, 128GB inbuilt memory and 4GB RAM priced at 1999 Yuan (around $308/Rs. 20,400).
The company is yet to reveal the price of the device, but it is very likely to be priced between Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 20,000. If it comes with a price tag in this bracket, it will have to take on devices like the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016), Galaxy J7 (2016), OnePlus 2, and OnePlus X in the Indian market.
