Xiaomi India has sent out press invites for a launch event on March 20 in New Delhi, and the Chinese conglomerate is expected to launch as many as four smartphones at the event. Going by the invite (seen below) and the emphasis on the 4 and A symbols, the company is expected to launch the Xiaomi Redmi 4, Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime, Xiaomi Redmi 4X, and Xiaomi Redmi 4A smartphones in India.

Three of these devices were launched in China in November, and the Redmi 4 is priced at CNY 699 (roughly Rs. 6,900), Redmi 4 Prime is priced at CNY 899 (roughly Rs. 8,900), while the Redmi 4A is priced at CNY 499 (roughly Rs. 4,900) respectively. The Redmi 4X was launched just last month and was made available in two variants - 2GB of RAM with 16GB storage priced at CNY 699 (approximately Rs. 7,000), and 3GB of RAM with 32GB storage priced at CNY 899 (approximately Rs. 8,500).

The India event on March 20 will be hosted by VP of Xiaomi India Manu Jain, and Product Lead Jai Mani. The invite reveals little else, but the company is largely speculated to launch all of the four smartphones mentioned above. To recap on the specifications, the Redmi 4 bears a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel camera, 16GB of inbuilt storage, and a 4100mAh battery.
