The Redmi 8 is priced at Rs. 7,999 for the 3GB RAM + 32GB storage variant, while the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage option carries a price tag of Rs. 8,999. However, the Redmi 8's 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant is still listed on the Xiaomi India website and Flipkart at Rs. 7,999, which means the company is yet to sell five million units of the phone. To recall, Xiaomi announced that the first five million units of the phone's 4GB RAM + 64GB storage model will be available at an introductory price of Rs. 7,999.

The Redmi 8 comes in Onyx Black, Ruby Red, and Sapphire Blue colour options. Sale offers on the phone include 10 percent instant discount on purchases made using HDFC Bank debit cards on Mi.com. Flipkart, on the other hand, will offer no-cost EMI and 5 percent unlimited cashback for Flipkart Axis Bank credit card holders. The phone's sale will kick off at 12pm (noon) in India.
