For those of you who live in India and are interested in the Xiaomi Mi 5, but are reluctant to get the white color variant, you’ll be glad to hear that the black and gold color options are coming.

This variant of the phone is currently available for Rs. 24,999 ($368) in India, and if you’d like to purchase it, follow the source link down below. We still don’t know when will the gold color option become available though, Xiaomi did not release a specific date or anything of the sort, so you’ll need to keep your eyes open for that one.
