5. Prices and availability
So, what is the Xiaomi phone price for every newly announced model and when exactly are they going to become available to the public?
The official release of the four new Xiaomi models in Nigeria is scheduled for March 15th, when the sale will finally launch. At the moment we know the price of only two models: the Xiaomi Redmi 5a Prime will retail for about ₦46,000, while the Redmi 5a will be sold for about ₦35,000.
