Xiaomi is launching a new phone this new year. A teaser was recently posted on Mi’s G+ account showing us an idea of a sweet surprise. The phone manufacturer will be making an official announcement on Sunday, January 4, of what could be a new Redmi. We’re not sure if it will be a new Redmi model or just an improvement of the Xiaomi Redmi 1S. Based on the image and the post, my guess is it could be new colors or perhaps a Lollipop update based on the “sweet surprise” reference. But of course, all Android platforms are named after desserts so every version is supposed to be sweet.
We’re still waiting for its debut in the US market but the Chinese OEM is still busy working on enhancements. A recent TENAA listing gives us an idea that it could be a Redmi 1S successor. So far, we know it will have a 4.7-inch 720p display screen, 4G LTE connectivity, dual-SIM support, 1GB RAM, 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC, 2 megapixel front-facing camera,8 megapixel main camera, and a 2200mAh battery. Out of the box, it will run Android 4.4. No idea on pricing but phone is expect to be available soon after the official launch.
Let’s see if Xiaomi (Mi) will show off this one at the CES 2015 in Las Vegas next week.
It is better xiaomi keeps distance away from airtel to save it’s reputation.
