Xiaomi 17T price hike has made the smartphone Rs 5,000 more expensive in India, with both 12GB RAM variants receiving the same increase. The revised prices have taken effect from October 1, according to a report.
The latest increase comes ahead of the festive sale season and makes the Xiaomi 17T costlier than it was at launch. Xiaomi has not yet officially announced the latest price revision.
Xiaomi 17T Price Hike Raises Both Variant Prices
The 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant of the Xiaomi 17T is now priced at Rs 69,999. Earlier, the same variant was available for Rs 64,999.
The 12GB RAM and 512GB storage model has also become more expensive. Its price has increased from Rs 69,999 to Rs 74,999.
Both variants have therefore received a Rs 5,000 price increase. The revised prices are listed on Xiaomi’s online store and Amazon India.
The phone was launched in India in June at Rs 59,999 for the 256GB variant and Rs 64,999 for the 512GB variant. This means the prices of both models have increased by Rs 10,000 compared with their launch prices.
