The processing package looks to be a MediaTek MT6795, also known as the Helio X10, which is a 28nm octa-core chip utilizing a familiar 2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 set-up arranged in two clusters of four. This is backed up with 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM.
Interestingly, the handset is also said to feature a Samsung Isocell image sensor, suggesting that Xiaomi could be the first third party manufacturer to make use of Samsung’s in-house camera technology. The rear camera will come in at 13 megapixel, while the front facing camera will be a 5 megapixel OmniVision sensor.
Other potential features include dual-SIM card support, a familiar entry in the series, along with a metallic body and either an Android 5.0 or 5.1 version of Xiaomi’s MIUI 6 software.
Based on this leaked, the next Redmi handset could help to bridge the gap between the series and the company’s other high-end productions. Xiaomi has been steadily releasing new smartphones this year, including its budget friendly Mi 4i and high-end Mi Note Pro, Would this new Redmi device be a welcome addition to the line-up?
