So, the Redmi Note 5 Pro has been released in Pakistan in the same week that the Redmi Note 6 Pro was released in China...

Does it make you feel like Pakistan is just a dumping ground for old stock that Xiaomi want to sell?
Where it is? i cant find it on any online websites?

and we simply cannot compete with China or India for getting latest edition smartphone, their market potential is far too big from us.

You mean you can't find the Redmi note 6 pro? Check the mi's official store. I am seeing tons of review and unboxing videos for the retail units on youtube already. Just search there.

Edit: 红米6 Pro立即购买-小米商城

i'm getting sick and tired of this Notch display, Xiaomi needs to come up with an original design instead of copying apple every now and then!
The notch is just another gimmick, and even a casual observer of the human condition understands that humans love gimmicks/trends.

This video is interesting...

Redmi Note 5 (Pro) Price Drop in Dubai - YouTube

According to this guy, there has been a massive price drop, and the China variant of Redmi Note 5 Pro is 21,000 PKR for the 3/32 variant if you buy it in Dubai. That's 10,000 rupee kess than what you can buy it for from Smartlinks...
That's nice, but importing a smartphone will be troublesome and our currency continues to devalue everyday, which doesnt help the cause :(

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why the price difference was so huge. I thought the price difference was because the Note 5 on Daraz sold by Airlink was 3/32 and the one on mistore.pk was 4/64.

The Redmi Note 5 Plus has been out of stock on the mistore.pk website for months now. But they were selling it for much less. 21,000 or 22,000 PKR.

How did you figure out it was the Redmi Note 5 Plus? Did you call them?

Also, Is the Redmi Note 5 (released as Redmi Note 5 Pro) in China, different from the Note 5 AI? I didn't know there was a Redmi Note 5 AI was some separate phone?

No i din't called them but the problem was, that Redmi 5 Plus in China & PAK is known as Redmi Note 5 in India. (With Snapdragon 652 processor). While Redmi Note 5 in China & PAK is known as Redmi Note 5 Pro in India. (With Snapdragon 636 processor).

So even DARAZ got confused and they had showed Redmi 5 Plus description & specs while showing Redmi Note 5 in PICS, but that mistake has been rectified now, now it shows the description and specs/Pics of Redmi Note 5 (PRO) now, & i even ordered one for myself in BLACK color :).


The whole confusion once again is basically:

Redmi 5 Plus [China & PAK] ~~ Redmi Note 5 [India]

Redmi Note 5 [China & PAK] ~~ Redmi Note 5 Pro [India]

Please let us know if you get the Redmi Note 5 Plus 3/32 or the Redmi Note 5 Pro 3/32.
Redmi note 5 PRO hi hoga I.A, anyways i'll let you know, once i receive it, as currently they are only taking preorder of it, that's why the price is slightly lower and with mobile week you can avail further 20% discount using DARAZ payment partners and DARAZ app off course.
