Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi has increased the price of its all time affordable smartphone Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A, marking the depreciation of Indian Rupee against US Dollar and significant rise in cost of production for smartphones. The price of Mi Powerbank 2i and Mi TV (32" Pro & 49" Pro) has also been adjusted.
