- Mar 7, 2018 at 1:27 pmRedmi Note 5 Pro Flash in Flipkart is a Fake Process, I have waited from 11-55 AM till 12-05 but it remains out of stock in all this given period and same happened in mi too, And so you have to go to the third party store by paying 500 bulks more. I doubt that they claimed about 3 lakhs units sold in last two s and people here are not even so crazy to a particular b or model.Reply
