Xiaomi has increased the price of its Xiaomi Pad 8 in India. The tablet was launched in March this year, but now it costs more across all variants. The price has gone up by Rs. 2,000.
The base 8GB RAM and 128GB storage model now costs Rs. 35,999 instead of Rs. 33,999. The higher 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant is now priced at Rs. 38,999, up from Rs. 36,999. The bundle with the Xiaomi Focus Pen Pro now costs Rs. 43,999 instead of Rs. 41,999.
The Nano Texture display version has also become more expensive. The 12GB + 256GB model now costs Rs. 40,999, and the bundled version with the Focus Pen Pro is now priced at Rs. 45,999.
The revised prices are already live on the Xiaomi India website. The reason for the price hike is not officially confirmed. However, rising component costs and global supply issues are likely factors. Recently, brands like OnePlus, Poco, and Lava also increased prices of their devices in India.
