Redmi Note 5 Pro became a lot easier to buy as Xiaomi has announced the smartphone will go up for pre-orders via Mi.com at 12pm IST on Friday, April 13. The smartphone was launched back in February, and has since been made available online in flash sales via Flipkart and Mi.com, making it rather hard to purchase. Redmi Note 5 Pro is also available offline via Mi Home stores and Xiaomi offline retail partners, though buyers have to pay a slight premium if choosing that route.

Xiaomi made the Redmi Note 5 Pro (Review) pre-order availability announcement via its Mi.com site, as well as the MIUI Forum. For the Chinese company, pre-orders imply buyers will get to book the smartphone in advance, instead of waiting in line during the other weekly flash sales. Xiaomi promises guaranteed priority shipping (generally within five business days) for pre-orders. Pre-orders are limited to one or two smartphones per order, and, payments have to be made up-front - there is no cash on delivery option. Buyers will also be able to cancel their pre-orders before their Redmi Note 5 Pro unit is shipped, if they have a change in heart.

The Redmi Note 5 Pro price in India starts at Rs. 13,999 for the 4GB RAM, 64GB storage variant, while the 6GB RAM variant is available at Rs. 16,999.
