Xiaomi are rumoured to be launching a new device at 10am this morning, but will it be the Xiaomi Smart TV or the Mediatek powered Xiaomi Red Rice phone!
The Xiaomi Red Rice Android phone has shown up in various leaks, and has even been spotted at China’s Ministry of Communication in dual-core and quad-core variants! If these Antutu screen shots are to be believe though the Red Rice will be a quad-core phone, with an entry-level price tag!
Gizchina News of the week
From the Antutu benchmarks we can see the phone is named the HM2013022 and is manufactured by Xiaomi. The start of that model number ‘HM’ actually fits the Chinese Pinyin name for ‘Red Rice’ (Hóng mǐ). We can also see the new phone sports a 1.5Ghz quad-core Mediatek MT6589 processor, in this case the MT6589T version with higher clock speed and faster GPU, a 720 x 1280 display, 1GB RAM, 8 mega-pixel rear camera and 1.2 mega-pixel front.
With these specs the Xiaomi Red Rice is no slouch and scores 14,073 on Antutu!
No official word has come from Xiaomi yet, but from Chinese news reports the Xiaomi Red Rice will cost just 999 Yuan ($160) here in China meaning it will be a direct rival to the JiaYu G4 and many other phones!
Looks like you wrote in a hurry?
Xiaomi Smart TV ‘or’…..
With ‘an’ entry level price tag…..
😀
network?? will it support indian networks?
It should!
well reat it here on gizchina itself that it supports only some specific bandwidths of CDMA..which are china only??(not sure,how..) but if some one could confirm please…!!
thanks
low score, with the mtk turbo version and an Hd display it shoudl score around 16k, not 14k (like the jiayu)
I know that the cpu is not the only thing that contributes to the score, but still, that is a low score
Benchmarks doesnt determine a PHONE. I bet this phone will perform much much much better than the other chinese phones…
Nice! tnx
its 4.5″ or 4.7″ ? what about the battery size?

It would be nice to see you include a table of other features the phones have such as OTG, MHL, NFC, Battery size, etc, as they make comparing the phones much easier. These are key features people look for when buying phones, this info will help people make an informed choice, there are so many phones on the market now, it is hard to keep track of who has what features.
