Just as we predicted, Xiaomi are expected to
launch a 4G
lte version of the
Xiaomi Mi3 in April of this year. The Xiaomi Mi3S also appears to be the source of recent Antutu screenshots.
After leaked Antutu scores showed up for a mystery
phone named the Xiaomi Mi4W, reporters have been snooping around to see if they can uncover any facts about this new smartphone. As we had already pointed out (and predicted last year) the benchmarks looked a whole lot like an updated Xiaomi Mi3S rather than whole new
phone, and the latest reports see coberate this idea.
According to sources, Xiaomi will
launch the Xiaomi Mi3S in April. The
phone will be visually the same to the current
Xiaomi Mi3 but will receive some under the hood updates including
3GB RAM, an 8 mega-pixel rear camera and 4G
lte support (FDD
LTE / TD-LTE). The reports have only mentioned one version of the
phone which will be powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor.
At the same time, Xiaomi are believed to
launch a Xiaom M3S model and 2 versions of the Xiaomi Hongmi (
Redmi) with at least one of these
phones getting an octacore
MT6592 chipset.
Xiaomi Mi4
Xiaomi have used the mid-life hardware update on their phones since the start, so it comes as no surprise that the Xiaomi Mi3S will
launch so soon, but how about the
Xiaomi mi4.
Sources have also found a few details about this
phone too. Apparently the
Xiaomi mi4 will
launch in Q3, have a
2K display and be powered by a Snapdragon 805
chipset!
