Well, the dateline is not yet arrived, so it's still possible.

At least the rumor for 4gb+64gb is still correct.

this site above says official launch is 24 April...

Indonesia is getting the China version seem the China version will defined as global version. ..

Yes, China version will be the global version where else Indian version is meant for their own country only.

Not only Indian country.. For South Asia Zone..

According to local tech news, the reason why xiaomi decided not to release the 6gb ram variant first is because the stock is limited. In other words, the 6gb variant may be released in the future.

Isnt it better to have higher storage like 128GB then higher RAM of 6GB?

Depend on individuals. Normal use 3-4GB ram, 32-64GB storage is more than enough. 6GB & 128GB combinations just overkill for the normal use. Don't forget this is suppose to be a mid-range phone, cost will jump with that combi to lower high end pricing. Furthermore ppl who daily use rely heavily the need for a 6GB ram power & big storage probably will not select a mid-range phone anyway. Plus there always the SD card option to expand storage anyway.

i prefer 6gb ram than 128gb ,
my current 4gb ram usage always around 70%+

I can see that the prices being sold on imported units are quite reasonable now.

6gb version for 1099
4gb version for 999
3gb version for 799

Hope that official Mi Malaysia version is around that pricing.

But does it cause lagging and slow down to using the phone generally? RAM are meant to be used. If 100% is used but the phone is still smooth then it has good optimization. 6GB for now is still overkill and you will only notice the difference if you do a lot of multitasking. Apple have the best RAM optimization. Hence their iphone can still run smoothly with only 2GB of RAM.

maybe add on 150-200 could be final retail price in our market

yes some time u will feel the lag , especially when on gaming, need to quit the game and clear cache.
so 6gb should be like old time phone of 4gb, 4gb now getting similiar to old time 2gb

slightly drop of rm100 each?

i guess this will be the prcing for incoming official price

4gb no drop
still expensive.

i believe by next week will drop at least rm50... hopefully

If the local set price is similar to AP set, it will drop. Probably AP sellers will have more intel on what will be the local price set. If they aggressively lowering their AP set price just before the launch date to clear stock, then is an indicator.

will it worth waiting 24th april as I planning to buy redmi 5 plus

i remember previously some selling for around 1100 for 4gb

yes, that true , some already started reduce price

Yes it will be worth the wait. Redmi 5 plus is using SD625. Not a bad processor but it is not as good as SD636 which is double in terms of raw performance. The camera of this Redmi Note 5 is also a massive improvement over other Xiaomi Redmi series phones. One of the best camera for a low cost midrange phone.
