Xiaomi has hinted that it will have not one but two
flagships announced tomorrow, however, the
manufacturer made it clear that the Xiaomi Mi 5
will not be one of them, despite benchmark score
and other leaks about it. What does this leave?
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is a good bet – its
Redmi 2 sibling launched last week. The new
Redmi Note is expected to have a bigger, sharper
screen (5.7" 1080p) than its predecessor and be
powered by Qualcomm's mid-range Snapdragon
615 chipset with an octa-core 64-bit processor.
International cost is expected to be around $250,
but the second phone that may be announced
tomorrow will cost just $65 . Based on the Xiaomi
Redmi 2, but with a Leadcore chipset, the new
phone will redefine the entry-level with pretty
impressive specs – 4.7" 720p screen, Android
KitKat-based software, 8MP/1080p camera and
LTE.
Then again, there's the Xiaomi MiPad 2, which may
swap out the Tegra chipset for an Intel one. It will
reportedly keep its iPad mini-like screen but will
adopt a more rectangular design.
There's also talk of a Snapdragon 810 device
making an appearance, alongside a Snapdragon
801 device, but details on those are scarce.
All this is speculation, of course, you can watch the
livestream over at Xiaomi's website , but you'll
need to know Chinese. The video below promises
an English commentary and you can follow
Xiaomi's Facebook and Weibo accounts for timely
info.
