India's leading smartphone-maker Xiaomi is geared up to kick off Redmi Note 6 Pro open sale today on multiple channels — e-commerce and brick-and-mortar stores.

For the first time, the company has fast-tracked the open sale for a new phone. Previously, it used to take two or three months, sometimes more for Xiaomi to fully meet the consumer demand and now, Redmi Note 6 Pro, which was unveiled only a few weeks ago, will be available openly on Flipkart, Mi.com, Mi Home and Mi Preferred Partner stores across India.

Interested consumers can place an order for the Redmi Note 6 Pro on any of the aforementioned platforms from 12 pm.
