Xiaomi is working hard to bring the new Redmi Snapdragon 855 device by May or June. Multiple teasers from Lu Weibing, Redmi’s general manager already revealed a lot about the device. According to the recent conversation by Lu Weibing on Weibo, it appears Redmi may drop on-screen fingerprint sensor from the device. It is obvious that the company will shed some features to make it budget friendly.
Lu Weibing dubiously replied that the on-screen fingerprint sensor is very expensive when asked about the presence of a rear fingerprint sensor on the upcoming flagship device by a user on Weibo. He kind-of affirmed the absence of on-screen fingerprint sensor on the new device.
The on-screen fingerprint sensors are the norm for every flagship device. Many Chinese smartphone makers like Oppo, Vivo, Huawei and even OnePlus facilitated the users with an on-screen fingerprint. However, it has started appearing on some affordable devices too. Oppo K1 recently launched as the most budget-friendly device sporting the in-screen fingerprint sensor in India.
Recent reports suggest Redmi SD855 will carry a pop-up camera module embracing a 32-megapixel sensor. On the rear side, there will be a triple camera module equipped with 48-megapixel primary camera + 8-megapixel + 13-megapixel. Moreover, there will be a 3.5 mm audio jack and NFC for safe, secure and quick payment transfers.
The cheapest Snapdragon 855 device is likely to launch anytime soon. Some reports cite that the same phone will launch as Redmi Pro 2 or Poco F2. We expect some more information to surface before its actual launch. Although, the company started preparing abundant stocks of the phone to meet the demand.
