The Xiaomi’s sub-brand – Redmi is reportedly launching a flagship device with Snapdragon 855 soon. Lu Weibing, Xiaomi’s general manager is continuously teasing the new device via Weibo. After revealing new details like the pop-up camera in the new Redmi flagship, today he reveals some information about its availability.
While answering a question about the Redmi’s upcoming flagship device’s availability, Lu Weibing responds that the company is preparing enough stock of the device. As like of Redmi Note 7 Pro spot sale in China, we expect a similar activity for Redmi flagship device. It appears the Redmi preparations this time will fade away the availability issues.
The Redmi flagship device will come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset. It would be the world’s cheapest device powering the Snapdragon 855 chipset. It will compete against Xiaomi Mi 9, Lenovo Z6 Pro, Lenovo Z5 Pro GT 855, Samsung Galaxy S10 series, Sony Xperia 1 and other high-end devices.
The new mysterious phone will debut with NFC facilitating easy payments. A 3.5 mm audio jack and a triple camera module consisting of a 48-megapixel primary sensor + 8-megapixel + 13-megapixel camera sensors will be present on the device.
Unlike the Galaxy S10 series, there won’t be any punch hole camera, instead, it will come with a pop-up camera module housing a 32-megapixel sensor. There will be a full view display with improved screen-to-body ratio and slim bezels on the front side. The ‘worth waiting‘ device is expected to launch in May or June at an affordable price.
Moreover, a recent leak also pulled the wraps-off from a Snapdragon 730 powered Redmi smartphone. It is also in the pipeline and will feature a similar pop-up selfie camera, 3.5 mm audio jack, notch-less display and much more.
