A known tipster has just revealed that Redmi is working on a smartphone, although, this upcoming device will apparently still feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC and offer 120Hz refresh rate as well.
According to a Weibo post, a Chinese microblogging website, from @数码闲聊站, the brand is working on a new handset that features the Snapdragon 870 processor. Furthermore, the tipster added that this model will sport a 6.7 inch OELD display with a FHD+ (2400x1080px) resolution along with a 50 megapixel primary camera on the rear. While it is unclear which series the new phone will fall under, it is speculated that it might a new variant of the K40 lineup and could be called the K40S or might even be a part of the upcoming K50 series.
The leak also revealed the model number of this smartphone, which is SM8250. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device is currently unknown and we have no way of confirming if this Redmi smartphone is even in the works. The tipster believes that this model will be available in the market sometime next year, but take this report with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
