Xiaomi Redmi 6A 16GB variant to go on open sale from midnight tonight

Xiaomi has announced it will be ending the flash sales of its Redmi 6A 3GB RAM variant starting tonight. The Redmi 6A smartphone was launched in September last year and its 32GB option went on open sale in November. However, the 16GB variant continued to be in limited quantities and thus was available via flash sales only — until now, that is. The Redmi 6A open sale for the 16GB variant will begin starting midnight tonight and buyers can head to Mi.com, Amazon India, and Mi Home offline stores to purchase the handset.
