While his tweet doesn't reveal any launch date, the media invites sent by the company confirms that the Redmi 6, Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 Pro will be launched on September 5. The launch event will be held in New Delhi. This confirms the previous reports suggesting an early September launch date of these Xiaomi smartphones.

MediaTek processor likely

Back in 2014 Ericsson filed a lawsuit against Xiaomi and this barred the company from releasing smartphones with MediaTek SoCs in India. As a result, the Chinese company retorted to using Snapdragon chipsets in its devices in India. Now, the legal battle has come to a settlement and Xiaomi is free to launch smartphones based on MediaTek processors in the country.

Expected price in India

While the pricing of these smartphones is yet to be announced, we know that these devices will be priced reasonably in the market. From the Chinese pricing, Xiaomi Redmi 6A base variant with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage space is expected to be priced around Rs. 6,500. The Redmi 6 Pro is likely to be priced around Rs. 10,500, Rs. 12,500, and Rs. 13,500 for the three variants. Finally, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 is expected to be priced around Rs. 8,500 and Rs. 10,500 respectively for the two variants.
