14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese mobile phone maker Xiaomi is reportedly getting ready for the launch of a nice range of new mobile phones in the not too distant future, including two successors of the popular Hongmi devices.
Apparently, the company might soon release a Hongmi M1S handset with the same physical design as the original device, but with a 1.7GHz MT6592 octa-core chip inside. Info coming from mydrivers also suggests that it would be priced at 799 Yuan ($132/€97.5).
Furthermore, a Hongmi 2 smartphone is also expected to arrive on shelves this year, with the same processor packed inside, but with a larger, 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen display, priced at 999 Yuan ($165/€122).
On top of that, Xiaomi is said to be planning the release of a 4G LTE version of Xiaomi Mi3. Supposedly dubbed Xiaomi Mi3S, the handset would be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974AC) processor. However, it should keep the rest of the specifications unchanged from the original Mi3.
