Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and Redmi 4 specs, prices and release dates leak

Earlier today the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi 4 was spotted in the Geekbench database rocking a Snapdragon 625 chipset and 3GB of RAM, running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. And now a source from China is confirming these specs for the handset, and outs a bunch of additional info too.

The listing confirms earlier rumors that the Xiaomi Redmi 4 may well be a significant step-up from the Redmi Note 3 and the Redmi Note 3 Pro that are currently on sale in China and India. Although, the listing does suggest that the upcoming device will be powered by Qualcomm’s MSM8953 Snapdragon 625 SoC, whose octa-core CPU will be clocked at a maximum of 2.02 GHz. This is in contrast to some of the earlier rumors which suggested the MediaTek Helio P10 64-bit octa-core SoC would be in use. The variant that showed up on Geekbench will seemingly carry 3GB of RAM, but there’s no telling whether Xiaomi will also release other variants with higher or lower amounts of RAM with differentiated pricing. The device will also apparently rock Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) out-of-the-box, no doubt with Xiaomi’s very own MIUI interface on top.

The same as of yet unconfirmed rumor goes on to claim that the much anticipated Mi Note 2 and Xiaomi Mi 5S will be outed on September 5 boasting a Samsung-made AMOLED touchscreen, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 821 at the helm, and a 3,600 mAh battery with fast charging. It too will be made out of metal, with a fingerprint sensor on the front.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will allegedly retail for CNY 2,499 ($375, €337) with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while upping the latter to 128GB means the phone will cost CNY 2,799 ($420, €378).
