Earlier today, Xiaomi announced on their official Weibo account that something new is arriving tomorrow. Since then, many have speculated we’re going to see the next Xiaomi Redmi 6 getting unveiled.
With all the rumored Xiaomi phones on the horizon, why does everybody think the Redmi 6 is the next in line? Well, the entry-level smartphone (model M1805D1SE) has been the last one to get added into the database of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The Redmi 6 was even expected to launch a week back, on March 31st, along with the Xiaomi Mi 8 and Mi 8 SE, but that didn’t happen. Thus the new piece of tech set to be unveiled tomorrow might be it.
Gizchina News of the week
The Xiaomi Redmi 6 is the phone that comes with the rather unappealing top notch above a 5.84-inch display with a resolution of 2280×1080 and a 19:9 aspect ratio. Meanwhile on the back we find a similar design to the previously launched Note 5, including dual cameras, fingerprint scanner and the cheap looking three-part – plastic, metal and plastic – back cover.
Under the hood, we’re instead going to find yet another Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 CPU clocked at 2.0Ghz paired with either 2GB, 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of internal storage; all of that powered by a large 3900mAh capacity battery.
The Xiaomi Redmi 6 is expected to cost around a 1000 Yuan, which is about $150.
