Xiaomi’s Hongmi might be one of the better value phones on the market but even that $130 phone is starting to look pricey when compared to the JiaYu F1, but Xiaomi aren’t giving up yet and are believed to be working on a $50 phone!
Gizchina News of the week
Xiaomi are aiming to expand throughout Asia and a low costphone could be just what the company needs to break in to emerging markets. Obviously, details of the $50 Xiaomi haven’t been made public yet, but we can guess the phone will be running one of Mediatek entrylevel quad-core MT6582 chipsets, around 1GB RAM and possibly a 4.5-inch display.
When Xiaomi plan to launch is also a mystery, but we will keep you updated with all the latest news!

i highly doubt it will have 1gb and 4.5″ considering jaiyu’s phone is 512mb and 4″ 🙁
A 50 dollar phone with MTK 6582, and 1 GB of RAM? That sounds unbelievable. All sub-100 US$ smartphones usually sport a slow dual-core (maybe 6572) and low-resolution screens. If Xiaomi can really pull this off (this year, not in 15 years), then hats off to them 🙂
