Xiaomi's budget 4G-smartphone, the Redmi Note 4G, will go on sale on Tuesday via Flipkart.
The first flash sale on Tuesday for the Redmi Note 4G will kick off at 2pm IST on Flipkart for registered users. As of now, the company has not detailed the number of units that will be up for purchase.
The last tweet by Mi India urged interested buyers of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, priced at Rs. 9,999, to register for the flash sale.

The Flipkart's Mi page notes that every user will have to register each time for separate sales and due to the great demand of Xiaomi handsets, it will limit orders to one phone per registered email ID per sale.
The Chinese handset brand last week had announced the availability of the Redmi Note 4G for the Indian market. Xiaomi has been lately struggling in India as it wastemporarily banned from selling handsets in India as they are alleged to infringe on Ericsson's patents. The company finally scored a reprieve by being allowed to sell its Qualcomm-based handsets in the country.
The Redmi Note 4G, unlike the Redmi Note, will be also available in Airtel stores in six cities which are yet to be named by the company. Customers will have to registerseparately to buy a Redmi Note 4G from Airtel stores.
Featuring single-SIM support, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS with MIUI v5 skin on top. During the launch in India, Xiaomi had indicated that updates to Android 5 Lollipop will be available in the future, but provided no time frame.
The smartphone is powered by a quad-core 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU coupled with 2GB of RAM. Other specifications of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G are similar to the Redmi Note (3G), which includes a 5.5-inch 720x1280-pixel IPS LCD display; a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera with LED flash; a 5-megapixel front-facing camera; 8GB built-in storage with microSD card expansion (up to 64GB), and a 3,100mAh battery with support for fast charging.

Best Smartphones Under Rs. 15,000 : January 2015

motorola_moto_g_gen_2.jpg
In our last roundup of the best Android phones that cost less than Rs. 15,000, we had recommended the Xiaomi Mi 3 as the best phone to buy, and had been suggesting the 8GB variant of the Asus Zenfone 5 as the best value for money phone you can get. Three months have passed since then however, and a lot of new phones are in the market under Rs. 15,000. Also notable is the fact that since our last roundup, the Xiaomi Mi 3 is no longer available to buy. However, if you can get your hands on it at less than Rs. 15,000, it remains a great buy.
Some of the high profile launches since our last roundup included the three Android One phones and the fingerprint sensor equipped Xolo Q2100, not to mention the Jolla Smartphone running the Sailfish OS and the entry-level Firefox OS phone, the Intex Cloud FX. If you're looking to buy a phone right now, then here are our top picks for smartphones under Rs. 15,000:
Best overall: Motorola Moto G (Gen 2)
The Moto G was one of the handsets responsible for creating the current interest in the under-Rs. 15,000 market, and the second generation of the device remains an excellent buy. The new Moto G (Review | Pictures) is a bit boring to look at, but does well in terms of its display, software, performance, battery life and camera, making it a really good pick.

Best value for money: Asus ZenFone 5 (8GB)
Available at under Rs. 10,000, the Asus ZenFone 5 (Review | Pictures) 8GB model remains our value-for-money pick, since you get a phone with a great camera, decent performance and looks, at a price where the competing phones come with serious compromises.

Best camera: Panasonic P81
The Panasonic P81 (Review | Pictures) launched at a fairly high price of Rs. 19,990, and at that price it wasn't a great option at all. However, the phone has just received a huge price cut and although that doesn't help with the boring design and average display, it certainly makes the P81 a reasonable buy today. We liked the camera on this phone even at its original price, and at approximately Rs. 11,000, it is probably the best option around with great low-light performance. In case you don't want to go with a phablet that has a 5.5-inch screen, you could instead pick up the Moto G. That phone has a pretty good camera too, but the P81 wins in terms of low-light performance.

Best battery life: Micromax Canvas Nitro
Launched in September for Rs. 12,900, the Micromax Canvas Nitro (Review | Pictures) did not thrill us - its scores in design and software were middling, and the camera is downright bad. The phone comes loaded with bloatware, and the performance is only middling. But the battery life on the phone is unmatched in the category, and if you're someone who's always on the move and needs a big battery that won't let you down, then there's no better option than the Canvas Nitro.

Best phablet: Panasonic P81
While there are other phablets in this category, the price cut of the Panasonic P81 makes it a worthy option. You won't get the best looking phone for your money, and the Android skin from Panasonic is crude, but the phone has good performance, a great camera, and delivers incredible value for the money it costs.

Samsung Galaxy S6

Samsung Galaxy S6 Allegedly Pictured; Compared With Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5

samsung_gs6_leak_toranji.jpg

Samsung's Galaxy  S6 smartphone, expected to launch early next year, has been leaked on multiple occasions so far, and this time around - the anticipated flagship has been spotted in images and compared with the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy S5.
The new leaked images show the yet-to-be-announced Galaxy S6 sporting a metal build and a working display featuring an Android 5.0 Lollipop-styled lock screen. The front of the Galaxy S6 is seen with sleek bezels on the sides and even the frames appear to be made of metal. There is a Samsung logo branding above the display in the front panel while rear also houses one just below the primary camera. The rear panel may also feature a metallic finish, though the leaked images are of low-resolution and appear to have slightly distorted colours.
Another image shows the Galaxy S6 in a side-by-side comparison with its predecessors - the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5. The alleged wider Galaxy S6 seems to feature a bigger display, and is slightly taller than both the Galaxy S5 (which sports a 5.1-inch display) and Galaxy S4 (features 5-inch display).
On Monday, a report claimed that the Galaxy S6 was shipped to India this month for testing purposes and the smartphone featured a 5.5-inch display.
The purported images of the alleged Galaxy S6 have been posted by an Iranian blogToranji (first picked by Phone Arena).
To refresh, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is rumoured to feature a 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 processor alongside Mali-T760 GPU and 3GB of RAM. Earlier this month, a possible variant of Samsung's Galaxy S6 was spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark sitetipping some specifications.
Prior to this, a report citing an analyst claimed that Samsung's Galaxy S6 flagship will debut early next year at CES - and not MWC as expected previously.
We have already heard that the Samsung Galaxy S5 successor is codenamed Project Zero, and is reportedly being built from scratch.
