Xiaomi is preparing to add a third model to its range Redmi. The purpose? Become the gold standard of quality / price of course. There is talk of a smartphone nearly as well equipped as the Redmi 2 sold about 60 €.
Xiaomi owes much of its success to its range Redmi. The first model, launched in 2013, had so quickly become the gold standard of quality / price ratio with its HD display and quad-core chipset, all for just over a hundred euros. Two years later, the entry segment has changed and despite new models, the success of the Chinese barely ranges today to stand out. But he obviously has not said its last word.
According MyDrivers, Xiaomi prepare a new Redmi, pictured below, to extend its offer entry level. The objective would be to achieve a sale price of 399 yuan, or about € 60. You will notice that a lot like last Redmi outside. This would also be the case from the inside. No question of sacrificing the user experience of course, we would find there and the same components as in the Redmi 2, with one exception: the chipset.
Exit Snapdragon 410 probably too expensive to Qualcomm, the manufacturer has ordered from a Chinese foundry called Leadcore Technology. The chosen reference would LC1860C, which brings together a quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU clocked at 1.5 GHz and a Mali-T628 GPU. The rest include the data sheet include a HD screen 4.7 “, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB of internal memory and a pair of 8 cameras and 2 megapixels. The set would turn on Android 4.4. 4 KitKat.
This is a fact sheet well provided. Too well, it seems. He tells that Xiaomi does not reach its rate target. It should therefore rather expect a price between € 60 and € 95 claimed for Redmi 2, which is still more than reasonable. No estimate for the release date however.
