Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi has been teasing its upcoming Redmi launch in India for quite some time, and the Redmi Note 4 was largely expected to arrive on January 19. Flipkart too joined the bandwagon to tease a Redmi Note 4 smartphone's exclusive availability on its website. Now, Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain has confirmed that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is indeed launching on January 19, putting an end to all speculation.

The Xiaomi India country head took to Twitter to confirm the launch of the Redmi Note 4 smartphone in India on January 19. The smartphone, as mentioned, will be sold on Flipkart exclusively. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 pricing and availability details will be unveiled at the launch event.
