While Xiaomi is gearing up for the launch of its anticipated Redmi Note 11 series, a tipster has revealed interesting information about another device that might arrive soon. Apparently, the company is also planning on launching a new budget flagship Redmi smartphone as well.
The news arrives from known tipster @数码闲聊站 who shared this news on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). On the social media website, he shared that the company will be launching a new Redmi branded flagship handset that features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 processor. As of right now, the Redmi K40 is a flagship smartphone that features this processor and arrives at a very competitive price point.
So it seems odd that the company will launch another model that would compete with its own handset offering. Unfortunately, apart from just revealing the processor, the tipster refrained from sharing any other details regarding this upcoming flagship device. Although, since it sports the Snapdragon 870, it will likely be positioned somewhere between premium grade handsets and upper mid range devices similar to the Chinese tech giant’s Redmi K40.
Notably, Xiaomi had launched the Redmi K30S Extreme Commemorative Edition after the launch of the K30 series last year. In other words, the device in question might also be a part of the Redmi K series and could possibly be another new variant of the K40 series as well. Keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report so take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this smartphone.
