Do you live in Perak and love Xiaomi? Well, great news to you all. SNS Network (M) Sdn Bhd has opened the first authorized Mi Store in Perak. Located in the heart of Ipoh (Ipoh Parade Shopping Mall, to be exact), the residents there can now check out the latest Mi devices, accessories and so many more!

Listen up, Xiaomi fans! In conjunction with Xiaomi's 8th anniversary and their recent successful listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, the Malaysia branch is offering Malaysians a special promotion including the latest Redmi Note 5 as well as organizing a Mi Photographer Contest.

Hey Xiaomi fans, MIUI 10 is coming upon us and the company just released a scheduled date for all Mi devices to receive an Over-The-Air (OTA) update soon. Since 29 June 2018, the Mi series such as the Mi 8, Mi 8 SE, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Mix 2, Mi Mix, Mi 6X, Mi 5 and Mi Note have gotten the update. The following update will be for the Redmi series in July this month.

Xiaomi is back again and known for its reputation for manufacturing affordable and good quality phones, the Redmi Note 5 is no exception and is a welcome addition to the Malaysia market. There's actually the blue model which is really beautiful but we got the black one instead (oh well), but at least we have the 4GB + 64GB variant which cost RM999. For a mid-range device at that price range, you can bet it's a force to be reckoned with. For the full tech-specs, you can check it out here and below for the unboxing and hands-on video!

Lazada Malaysia celebrated their 6th birthday here in Malaysia with discounts of up to 90% on millions of products including the just released Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 pre-order, 15% additional cash rebates to holders of the CIMB Lazada Prepaid Mastercard, Lazada e-vouchers for Petronas Primax, 15 pairs of flight tickets via AirAsia Big and many more.

Today, Xiaomi Malaysia has officially brought in the long awaited Redmi Note 5. Just in case you click on that link and it shows you the Redmi Note 5 Pro, this is our version of it as we already have one using Redmi 5 Plus specs (I know, so confusing). So to make it clearer, the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro that was shown in India = our Redmi 5 Plus and Redmi Note 5 respectively. Ok? Ok, let's move on. 

Initially announced in India back in February 2018 as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 has appeared being teased by the official Mi store on Lazada to be coming to Malaysia on 24 April 2018 (Update: the invites are out at it has been confirmed as 24 April 2018). Priced at 13999 INR (~RM855) for the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage version and 16999 INR (~RM1038) for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage version, we considered the previous pricing of the Mi A1 (RM1099) for an expected Malaysia price range of RM1149 to RM1299.

Xiaomi officially announced their Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (known as Redmi 5 Plus in Malaysia) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro in India today. The 4GB RAM + 64GB storage Redmi Note 5 Pro is priced at 13999 INR (~RM855) while a 6GB RAM + 64GB storage version is priced at 16999 INR (~RM1038). The 3GB RAM + 32GB storage Redmi Note 5 going for 9999 INR (~RM610) while a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage version is going for 11999 INR (~RM732). No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but it is available in India starting from 22 February 2018.

Based on the page listing, all we can see is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 behind a red curtain with a listed price of 8888CNY. This price should be purely symbolic due to 8 being a lucky Chinese number and is in no way related to the actual pricing because that would be nuts.
