China's largest domestic smartphone maker Xiaomi on Thursday launched the Mi 4i, an upgraded version of its flagship Mi4 phone.
The firm's vice president of international operations Hugo Barra introduced the new device at a live event in New Delhi that was also broadcast online, though the live feed was unavailable for many users for large parts of the event.
"We're setting in stone our commitment to India," Barra told an enthusiastic crowd.
The device will go on sale in India on April 30 for 12,999 rupees (US$205), around half the price of the comparable Samsung Galaxy A7. The phone will initially only be available on Flipkart, the country's largest e-commerce site, before rolling out to other platforms.
Barra said that the phone would be available in four other markets, including Hong Kong and Singapore, in May.
