After announcing permanent price cuts on most of its current smartphones, Xiaomi has now dropped the prices of its Wi-Fi router range in India. The company has silently rolled out permanent price cuts for the Mi Router 3C and the Mi Wi-Fi Repeater 2.
According to a moderator's post on MIUI Forum, the Mi Router 3C will now be available for Rs 999, down from Rs 1,199 and the Mi Wi-Fi Repeater 2 is now priced at Rs 799 against its regular retail price of Rs 999. The revised prices are applicable on Mi.com, Flipkart, Amazon.in and Mi Home retail stores with immediate effect.
We checked the websites for confirming the price change and the routers have been listed with the revised prices on Mi.com and Amazon India's website. However, Flipkart hasn't updated the prices at the time of writing.
Having said that, the price cut doesn't come as a big surprise as the Mi Router 3C was seen selling at Rs 999 during previous sales on Mi.com, Amazon, and Flipkart.
