What about the price?
Redmi Note 5 was earlier spotted on a Chinese e-commerce website for a brief time. It revealed nothing except the price, which was a whopping CNY 8,888 (approximately Rs. 87,000).
However, Chinese phone blog GizmoChina ruled it out, saying it was only a gimmick as the number "8" is considered lucky.
