Under the new offer, the 2GB RAM/16GB storage and 3GB RAM/32GB storage variants will be available for Rs. 834 and Rs. 938, respectively. While the offer sound very lucrative, there is indeed a catch as Xiaomi would never sell such capable smartphone at such low prices. Let it be known that, it’s Amazon India, which is offering exchange discounts up to Rs. 7,195 and Rs. 8,061 for the Xiaomi Redmi 5 2GB RAM/16GB storage variant and Xiaomi Redmi 5 3GB RAM/32GB storage version.
Lucrative deal: Replace Redmi 5 within 10 days if found defective
However, potential buyers should note that exchange offers vary based on which phone they want to exchange the Redmi 5 with.
Further, Amazon is also providing buyers with a 10-day window to replace the phone if it is found defected.
