Xiaomi announces Mi 11 Ultra sale in India but not for everyone, here is why
Dimapur, July 5 (EMN): Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has finally announced the sale of its Mi 11 Ultra smartphone in India but there is a catch. Customers will have to first buy a gift card worth INR 1,999 to get access to the sale.
Xiaomi had announced the Mi 11 Ultra all the way back in March but the company said it had to delay the Indian launch “due to circumstances beyond our control.”
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer has confirmed that its flagship phone will go on sale for the first time in the country on July 7 at 12 pm IST. The Mi 11 Ultra will be available via Mi Home and Mi Home store only. Customers will need to buy an “ultra gift card” for INR 1,999 on the official Mi website, which can be later redeemed against the price of the Mi 11 Ultra during purchase.
It seems Xiaomi‘s Mi 11 Ultra will not be available for everyone in India with the company citing limited availability. Hence the extra steps of acquiring a gift card in order to purchase the phone. However, the company has not said how long the sale will last and how many units will be available.
