Xiaomi recently put up a website for Indonesia, which we also talked about a few hours ago. Then, an Indonesian launch was a mere speculation, but we now know that’s is official and coming sooner than we previously thought.
Hugo Barra sent out a message through his social feeds sometime back which confirmed Xiaomi’s Indonesian plans. Hugo said, “What’s up Indonesia? After a long wait, we’re excited to announce that Mi is officially coming to Indonesia”.
The Xiaomi Indonesia website can be accessed at www.mi.com/id, while their official Facebook page Mi Indonesia.

Interestingly, Xiaomi have gone for their ‘internationalized’ name – Mi – for Indonesia. That’s something Xiaomi did for the Indian market as well.

Another interesting thing is the picture that Xiaomi shared on their Indonesia page. It appears as though Xiaomi would be launching a 5-inch dual SIM phone in Indonesia. We aren’t aware of any 5-inch dual SIM phones that Xiaomi currently have on offer… could it be a dual SIM Mi 4 especially for Indonesia? We should know soon!
The bezels are huge. It’s looking more like a redmi phone. Interesting.
Maybe a Redmi 2 powered by MTK6595 + MTK6290 or Snapdragon 600? That would definitely be cool.
That outline is decidedly Mi3. The 5 inch screen, buttons placement, camera location (Mi4 in the middle) and especially the capacitive back button design (Mi4 uses <) gives the game away. To think just for the Indonesia market they are making a special dual sim version for launch is interesting indeed.
