Xiaomi has once again increased the price of the Redmi Note 8 that was launched last year in India. The budget handset recently received a price hike in June due to the increase in GST on smartphones as well as the Rupee-Dollar conversion rate.
The new price of the Redmi Note 8, specifically the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant, now stands at Rs 12,499. This essentially means an increase of Rs 500 over the previous price of Rs 11,999. As a whole, the total increase in price for the Redmi Note 8 now stands at Rs 2,500 when compared to the original launch price of Rs 9,999. The revision in price is now visible on Xiaomi India’s official website. The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant notably, has not received a price hike and is currently selling for Rs 14,499.
