Rumors say Google will release the best and most powerful Stock Android device ever with the Nexus 2016 soon but flagship killer Xiaomi is apparently looking to disrupt the plan by unleashing the phablet Redmi Note 4. Bannering its killer features is a dual-camera set up and reports said unveiling will happen July 27.
Picking up the new leaked image from China, GSM Arena reported that the flagship killer specs for the 5.5-inch Redmi Note 4, rumored to be called to as the Xiaomi Redmi Pro, have been practically confirmed. Headlining the jumbo-sized offerings is the SoC that will tap into 4GB of RAM provision. The duo indicates of breakneck and muscle mobile computing prowess coming out of the box with the Android-based device.
In the same image showing off a side of the supposed Redmi Note 4 retail box, the device is said to sport a camera combo of 13MP on rear and 5MP on front. But what is notable about the upcoming Xiaomi camera phone is the speculation that it will unpack boasting of dual-camera setting that will challenge the same specs bump that Apple is rumored to deliver with the iPhone launch.
If true, the Redmi Note 4 is bound to enjoy one key advantage over the Nexus 2016. To date, there is no indication that Google will deploy any of the rumored Nexus Sailfish and Marlin with dual camera or dual pixels that Samsung has introduced with the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
The Redmi Note 4 is expected too to bring with longer operating hours as the power juicer will be generated by a massive 4100mAh battery pack, the GSM Arena report added.
In a related story, Phone Arena claimed that Xiaomi's upcoming supersized phone will touch down in two variants both labelled Redmi Pro. One will be fired by the MediaTek MT6797M chipset with 3GB of RAM and will be marketed as the more affordable edition.
A more high-end or premium build will also hit the market, which as mentioned above will rely on a Helio X25 MT6797T as main engine and to be supported by 4GB of RAM.
The latter is likely to debut with a higher asking price but any of the two Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or Pro is expected to retail at a relatively lower compared to the Nexus 2016 on release date. Compelling price tag is actually a major selling point of Xiaomi's smartphone line, also making them as so-called flagship killers.
