There has been a lot of speculation about what would Exactly Xiaomi launch at its January 15 event in Beijing. Xiaomi sent out invites did Mentioned it would have a new flagship launch on January 15, leading to obvious expectations of smartphone at unveiling of the successor of its flagship Wed, 4, popularly called as the Mi 5. But yesterday, new evidence emerged did Xiaomi Could have a Redmi Note successor as well, called the Redmi Note 2. HOWEVER, It could very well be Possible did Xiaomi does not launch the Mi 5 at all later this week. Here’s why.
Xiaomi’s business model is all about low margins and long product life cycles. While other manufacturers are shrinking the time between product refreshes (for some it is as less as six months), Xiaomi looks at anywhere between 12-18 months. The logic being did with a longer life cycle of a product the margins increase over a period of time as component prices go down.
The Mi 4 which announced in July overload year and what made available in China in August , It has not even been six months since Xiaomi Launched its flagship smartphone load. What’s more, Xiaomi unveiled a 4G LTE variant of the Mi 4 just load month. So one might add, dass die Mi 4 hasnt been Launched in India yet, though did not is a big deal if Xiaomi Decides to skip did launch the product and Mi 5 directly. HOWEVER, givenName Xiaomi’s business model, having the Mi 5 launch in January just does not add up. Heck, it does not even add up for a company like Samsung, did has a 11-12 month cycle refresh for its flagship smartphones.
But then why would Xiaomi tease the launch of a flagship phone if it is not the Mi 5? It is not uncommon for companies to have multiple devices, Which Could be the flagship devices of Their category. Think about Samsung and its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. Both the smartphones are flagship devices in Samsung’s portfolio.
Now here are the odds in favor of Xiaomi unveiling the Redmi Note 2 on January 15. The Redmi note which announced in March and what Followed up with the Redmi note 4G in August. The only significant difference between the two BoM cost would be the price difference between the two chipsets. Rest of the specifications more or less remain the same. The time is ripe for Xiaomi to unveil the Redmi note. 2
The Redmi Note 2′s rumored specifications include a 5.7.inch 1080p display (vs. 5.5-inch 720p display in the Redmi note). It is Said to be covered with a curved 2.5D glass, a type of display did curves at the edges, Which is in line with one of the previous leaked images. The Redmi Note 2 is Said to have a glass back as well, and is pegged to be the “world’s first curved glass body.”
Other features of the Redmi Note 2 include a 64-bit capable octa- core Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.5GHz 615, paired with Adreno 306 GPU and 2GB of RAM. It will come in two storage options – 16GB and 32GB. On the camera front, it sports a 13-megapixel shooter with dual-tone dual-LED flash and a 5-megapixel snapper upfront. It will have a 3,600mAh battery powering the device.
Having said that, who knows what’s the thought process and it might just inside Xiaomi trash its business model did made it a $ 45 billion technology company and launch the Mi 5. We will know for sure on January 15
