Xiaomi Redmi Note 2: China’s rising star back from … – LesMobiles.com

There are a month published an indiscretion on Twitter claimed that a new Redmi powered by a MediaTek chipset was being prepared. This rumor has been confirmed on Twitter with more detailed data sheet and a photo.

There Two weeks ago, we relayed in our columns that appeared to be the line-up for the coming months Xiaomi. Y were included E5, a Mi 4s and two Redmi Note 2. All smartphones that list, according to this indiscretion, would be powered by a Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 410, 615, 810 and, for the second part of model year, 820. The omnipresence of Qualcomm was then quite logical: the American founder acquired a stake in the Chinese manufacturer. Hence the absence of MediaTek, unlike the first rumors about the Redmi Note 2.

Xiaomi Redmi H3Y Hermes

Note 2 under Redmi MediaTek or Qualcomm?

Indeed, last April, the very indiscreet Upleaks stated on his Twitter account that Xiaomi preparing a new Redmi (not necessarily Redmi rating, but a little anyway) internally called H3Y . The latter included a full HD screen and a MediaTek chipset, the MT6795, we now also know as Helio X10. A month later, Upleaks reiterates and confirms its information. The serial-leaker was again circulated on Twitter the list of components Redmi H3Y, dubbed Hermes project. A list accompanied by the visual that illustrates this article above.

The smartphone would have entered its final stages of development, namely the start of production. Implying that certification will be published shortly on the website of Tenaa (if it is not already)

assumed the Redmi Photos Note 2 submitted in March

Two sides of the same coin?

The two leaks, the beginning of May and the middle of April, are not fully compatible, but they have something in common that could explain the difference: in the first, the serial number of Redmi Note 2 is H3X while qu’Upleaks called H3Y smartphone. It could therefore be two variants of the same model: X and Y for MediaTek Qualcomm. The question is whether the two will actually marketed. Answer, certainly in the next few months, the Redmi Note 2 is provided logically for the month of July.
