In addition, Xiaomi India head Manu Jain has tweeted saying the flash sale will start at Re 1. https://twitter.com/manukumarjain/status/659253806761426944 Earlier this year, as a special promotional offer, the first 1,000 registrants of the Mi Band had received it at Re. 1. So, we can most likely expect the band to go on sale. The company has already started introducing festive offers such as price cuts on the Mi 4i and Moto E second generation . Users can expect a further price cut in the Mi 4i, Mi Pad, Mi 4 and Redmi 2 Prime. The company is also mentioned exciting prizes, which means we can expect a contest.
