Xiaomi has revised the prices of several Redmi smartphones and tablets in India amid the ongoing memory component price hike. The latest price revision affects the budget-focused Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G smartphones along with the Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro, Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G, and Xiaomi Pad 8 tablet lineup.

The revised prices are effective from July 14, 2026.

Redmi A7 4G and Redmi A7 Pro 4G Get Another Price Hike

The latest price revision comes as the budget and mid-range smartphone segments continue to be impacted by the ongoing memory shortage. Recently, POCO increased the prices of the X8 Pro series and M8 smartphones, and now the Redmi A7 lineup has also become more expensive.

The updated prices are as follows –

Model Launch Price Previous Price New Price
Redmi A7 4G ₹10,499 ₹11499 ₹12,499
Redmi A7 Pro 4G ₹11,499 ₹12,499 ₹13,499

With the latest revision, both smartphones now cost ₹2,000 more than their launch prices. Although the increase may appear modest, it further narrows the choices available to buyers looking for smartphones priced under ₹12,000.

The Redmi A7 is currently available in a single 3GB RAM + 64GB storage variant.

Redmi Pad 2, Redmi Pad 2 Pro and Xiaomi Pad 8 Prices Also Revised

Apart from smartphones, Xiaomi has also increased the prices of several Redmi and Xiaomi tablets by ₹1,000 to ₹2,000.

Xiaomi Pad 8 with Pen (12GB+256GB Nano Bundle) ₹ 43,999 ₹ 45,999 ₹ 2,000

 

The internal pricing document also indicates that the revised prices came into effect on July 14, 2026.

Memory Shortage Continues to Push Device Prices Higher

The latest revision is part of a broader trend across the smartphone industry, where brands are increasing prices due to rising costs of memory and storage components. Budget and mid-range devices have been among the hardest hit, leading to multiple price revisions over the past few weeks.

With the latest hike, buyers planning to purchase the Redmi A7 series or Xiaomi’s latest tablets will now have to pay more than the original launch prices.

Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 11 series in about a month. But ahead of the official launch, we have some interesting leaks thanks to Amazon listings surfacing online. The listings seemingly showcase the standard Pixel 11 in multiple colour options, while separate listings also hint at the colour variants for the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Here’s more on that.

Pixel 11 May Arrive in New Colour Options

According to the listings, the base Google Pixel 11 is shown in four colorways. The listing titles mention the colours “Obsidian,” “Hibiscus,” and “Pistachio.” However, the product descriptions refer to the same variants as “Midnight,” “Fuchsia,” and “Moss,” which reportedly match previous leaks.

The listing title also includes the code “4CS4,” which has previously been linked to the Pixel 11.

Soon after the initial discovery, additional listings for the Pixel 11 Pro were also spotted. These suggest the phone could be available in “Dune,” “Light Fog,” “Pine,” and “Sterling” finishes.

Meanwhile, the Pixel 11 Pro Fold appears in “Pine,” which aligns with a recent leak from the weekend, as well as a “Midnight” colour option.

The listings were first spotted folks at 9to5Toys/9to5Google and appear to be placeholder or draft pages that may have gone live earlier than intended. They are listed as being sold and shipped by Amazon under the “Google Store” section of the platform. However, since Amazon also hosts third-party sellers, the information should be treated with caution until Google makes an official announcement.

Anyhow, the images used in the listings appear to be low in resolution with some visible pixelation. However, this is not entirely unusual for early placeholder pages that are published before an official launch.

Pixel 11 Series Specifications and Price (Leaked)

Besides revealing the possible colour options, the Amazon pages also include several hardware details. The standard Pixel 11 is listed with a 6.3-inch display offering a resolution of 1080×2424 pixels. The device is said to feature 256GB of storage and is listed at a price of $899. It is also shown with 12GB of RAM, contradicting an earlier rumour that claimed Google could reduce the base model’s memory to 8GB.

At the same time, the Pixel 11 Pro listings also mention 12GB RAM and leaves the final memory configuration uncertain until launch.

Meanwhile, the expected price of all Pixel 11 Series models has also surfaced online. According to reports, Pixel 11 series pricing strategy could look something like this –

  • Pixel 11 – $899
  • Pixel 11 Pro – $1099
  • Pixel 11 Pro XL – $1299
  • Pixel 11 Pro Fold – $1899

The listings further mention a “Google Pixel Tag” as a compatible accessory. While Google has not introduced any tracker with that name yet, rumours about such a device have been circulating for several years.

Battery capacities are also mentioned in the listings. The standard Pixel 11 is said to pack a 4,985mAh battery, which is slightly larger than last year’s model. The Pixel 11 Pro XL is listed with a 5,115mAh battery, while the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is said to feature a 4,750mAh battery.

As for variants, Pixel 11 and 11 Pro models could arrive in 12/256GB as base models, while Pixel 11 Pro Fold with 16/256GB base.

While several details in the Amazon listings match previous leaks, there are enough inconsistencies to warrant caution. It remains unclear whether these pages are genuine and they could be removed from Amazon at any time before Google’s official Pixel 11 series announcement.

Apart from smartphones, OnePlus has also increased the prices of its Pad Go 2 and Pad Lite tablets in India. The revised prices are now live on the company’s online store.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 New Prices

  • 8GB + 128GB (Wi-Fi) – ₹29,999
  • 8GB + 256GB (Wi-Fi) – ₹32,999
  • 8GB + 256GB (5G) – ₹35,999

The OnePlus Pad Lite has also received a price revision.

OnePlus Pad Lite New Prices

  • 6GB + 128GB (Wi-Fi) – ₹19,999
  • 8GB + 128GB (Cellular) – ₹22,999

Reports suggest the OnePlus Pad Go 2 was previously available at a starting price of ₹28,999, while the Pad Lite started at ₹18,999 before the latest revision. The Pad Go 2 has reportedly become ₹1,000 more expensive, whereas the top-end Pad Lite variant has seen a price increase of ₹2,000.

Compared to their launch prices, the increase is even more noticeable. The OnePlus Pad Go 2 debuted in India at ₹26,999, while the OnePlus Pad Lite launched at ₹15,999.

As a result, both tablets are now selling at a premium of around ₹3,000 over their original launch prices.

Why Are OnePlus Prices Increasing?

The latest price revision comes amid an ongoing industry-wide shortage of RAM and storage components. Rising prices of memory and NAND storage have pushed several consumer technology brands to revise the pricing of existing products.

Manufacturers are also said to be diverting RAM and storage supplies toward AI-related hardware, while memory makers are focusing on producing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI data centres. These factors have contributed to higher component costs, prompting brands like OnePlus to increase the prices of both smartphones and tablets.

Alongside the Chinese models, new information regarding the Indian variant of the Redmi Note 17 5G has also surfaced. According to tipster Abhishek Yadav on X, the smartphone will initially launch in India in a 6GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration.

The report adds that Xiaomi may introduce additional RAM and storage variants closer to the official India launch, giving buyers more options at a later stage.

In terms of colours, the Redmi Note 17 5G is tipped to arrive in Blue and Dark Night colour options for the Indian market.

The latest leaks come shortly after Xiaomi confirmed the launch date, design, and battery details of the Redmi Note 17 series for China. The company has skipped the Redmi Note 16 branding altogether, moving directly from the Redmi Note 15 series to the Redmi Note 17 lineup.

Official teasers have already revealed the design of both the Redmi Note 17 and Redmi Note 17 Pro. Unlike the Redmi Note 15 series, which featured a centrally positioned camera module, the upcoming smartphones adopt a new rectangular camera module placed at the top-left corner of the rear panel.

With the official launch just days away, Xiaomi is expected to reveal the complete specifications, pricing, and availability details of the Redmi Note 17 series on July 14.
