Xiaomi launches Pink Mi Note and budget ranged Redmi 2A for its 5th anniversary

The Xiaomi Mi Note has just received a new pink variant as the company celebrates its fifth anniversary on the 6th of April. This will feature a slightly toned down hardware, thus making it slightly cheaper as well. The only change here is the cutting down of RAM from 3GB to 2GB, which translates to roughly $16 in savings, bringing the overall device cost to $274.

This comes after the company unveiled the Mi Smart Scale yesterday for as little as $15, which could pair with Mi Fit app on Android and iOS.

The company has also announced a new variant of the Redmi 2 known simply as the Redmi 2A which comes with a Leadcore LC1860 quad core chipset with a clock speed of 1.5 GHz. This is used in place of the Snapdragon 410 SoC that was shown off with the Redmi 2 back in January this year. This handset is available for the local equivalent of $97 (599 CNY), which makes it one of the most attractive budget offerings in the market today.

There are no changes in terms of hardware apart from the SoC, so you can expect to find the 4.7 inch 720p display, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, Android 4.4 KitKat, an 8-megapixel camera and a 2,200 mAh battery.
