After a tell-all listing on a Chinese Certification site, a new image leak of the Redmi 4 retail box does further damage and reveals more details about the upcoming smartphone. In addition to the retail box, a teaser has also surfaced online reiterating that the Redmi 4 will be unveiled on Thursday, and will sport a full-metal clad body.
The teaser reveals the previously announced August 25 launch date, and also reads ‘National full metal age (translated)’ hinting that the Redmi 4 will be metal clad. In the meanwhile, the leaked retail box image reveals specification details, and hints that the Redmi 4 will feature a 5.5-inch display, a 2GHz MediaTek Helio X20 deca-core processor, 3GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, 64GB of inbuilt storage, and a 4100mAh battery.
The previous Tenaa listing suggested that a 2GB RAM and 16GB storage variant will also be launched alongside. Other specifications from the certification site included Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based MIUI 8. The dimensions of 141.3×69.6×8.9mm, a 160-gram weight, and Gold and Silver colour variants. Connectivity options tipped include 4G VoLTE, WiFi 802.11ac (2.4 and 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS.
This latest leak also refutes previous rumours of a 2GHz Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor, and instead claims that the Redmi 4 will be powered by the 2GHz MediaTek Helio X20 deca-core chipset. It’s possible both variants are launched however. The rumoured price of the Redmi 4 is at CNY 699 (roughly Rs. 7,000).
There is also an Mi Note 2 expected to be unveiled on September 2. It is expected to be priced at CNY 2,499 (approximately Rs. 25,000) and CNY 2,799 (approximately Rs. 28,000) respectively. The speculated features include a dual camera setup, dual-edge display, and 64GB and 128GB storage offerings.
