The vanilla Redmi Note 10 is the cheapest model in the series. But unfortunately, Xiaomi has been hiking its price since the launch. Almost four months after its announcement, the device’s price has been increased fourth time today.
The Redmi Note 10 comes in two storage configurations in India – 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB. These two variants debuted at ₹11,999 and ₹13,999 respectively.
A month after the launch, the price of the two versions was hiked by ₹500. Hence, they had been selling for ₹12,499 and ₹14,499 until June.
Then, the two models got yet another price increase of ₹500 one by one. Since then till yesterday, the base and higher variants of the handset were being sold for ₹12,999 and ₹14,999 respectively.
With yet another price hike of ₹500 today, the Redmi Note 10 currently retails in India at ₹13,499 for the 4GB + 64GB variant and ₹15,499 for the 6GB + 128GB version. In other words, the top model of the vanilla Redmi Note 10 is now costlier than the base variant of the Redmi Note 10S.
The rise in the price of smartphones and smart TVs in India is due to the shortage of components. Although it’s understandable, it’s sad to see that the once a value for money smartphone has now become a tough choice among the competition.
