Back in early February, Redmi CEO Lu Weibing announced that the company is preparing to launch a new generation smartphone based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 platform. Xiaomi founder Lei Jun spoke about the same at the Spring Festival 2019. However, However, the company doesn't talk much about this highly anticipated device.
Subsequently, there were rumors that Redmi would use a pop-up camera to minimize the bezels around the screen. This would be somewhat odd because Xiaomi has never used a mechanical pop-up camera design. Now Mr. Weibing decided to respond to the rumor with a few words: "it won't happen."
Lu Weibing previously noted in a Redmi policy paper that the brand will focus on high quality and attractive value. He also "declared war" on overpriced products and emphasized that a high price is not always a sign of good quality. βWe never considered consumer electronics to be a luxury,β the executive added.
It is not worth waiting for the release of the Redmi smartphone (most likely, this will happen in the second half of the year). If a previous leak allegedly showing a prototype is to be believed, the device will also retain a 3,5mm audio jack, which is becoming increasingly rare in flagship devices. The powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor combines eight Kryo 485 cores with a clock speed of 1,80 GHz to 2,84 GHz, an Adreno 640 graphics accelerator and an integrated Snapdragon X4 LTE 24G modem (compatible with an external X50 5G modem). The frameless screen will likely feature Full HD+ resolution.
