Redmi Note 8 price in India has gone up by INR 500, the fifth time its price was raised since its launch.
The phone started at Rs. 9,999 ($133) when it was first launched in India, and since then it's gotten more and more expensive.

But thankfully, the price of the 6GB + 128GB variant of the Redmi Note 8 has not been increased this time around and is still is available at INR 14,499.
