Itās Xiaomi Hongmi 2 rumour time again so we hope you have your pinch of salt at hand! The latest is the Hongmi 2 wonāt have an 8-core chipset after all but the new quad-core MT6588!
Weāve seen a few rumours on Chinese tech sites claiming that the next generation Xiaomi Hongmi will be powered by the 8-core MT6592 processor, but these latest claims seem more logical. New reports from āsourcesā say that the Hongmi 2 will get a larger display, but a quad-core MT6588 Mediatek chip rather than an Octa-core.
Gizchina News of the week
The MT6588 hasnāt been launched yet, but specifications have and it looks pretty impressive! The MT6588 is built around a tiny 28nm HPMm Cortex A7 architecture which can be ran at 1.7Ghz. Memory options of either LDDR2 533Mhz or LDRR3 666mHz will be available and a 600mhz Mail-450 MP4 GPU is built-in.
Of course the rumours of the Hongmi 2 are still unconfirmed, however those MT6588 specs have us excited, and we canāt wait to see what Chinese phone manufacturers do with them!
what’s the weird resolution for 6589 series? 1280×1080? wat?
I think it is just a mistake
The roadmap states the MT6588 has a PowerVR GPU but the text states the MT6588 has a Mali 450 (not Mail 450). Or the text or the roadmap is wrong
Hongmi2 wont launch that soon, its probably too early to make assumptions
