This time, it was one of the crazyest Xiaomi’s upcoming phones, code named Xiaomi Ferrari that was spotted on this GFXBench website. The device did not have a specific model number, but it could be a part of the company’s affordable Redmi lineup.


The GFXBench entry shows mid-range specs. This mobile comes with  new Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit processor clocked at 1.6GHZ with Adreno 405, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. The display up front is of 4.9-inches and comes with a full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 13MP while there will be a 5MP front shooter for selfies.

As you can see, the new Xiaomi Ferrari would fit perfectly into the company’s Redmi lineup. The octa-core processor, 13MP camera and Android 5.0.2 will ensure takers provided the company prices it appropriately.

Xiaomi breaks the market with its high end and low cost mobiles and has been aggressively expanding its product portfolio in the past few months. We have already seen a new lineup of Mobiles, namely the top end Xiaomi Mi Note and now, it looks like Xiaomi may have another version of last year’s flagship Mi4 .

The Xiaomi Mi4 2GB edition was recently spotted on the Chinese certification website TENAA. Excite news is the phone has 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. On the other hand, the regular Xiaomi Mi4 version came with 3GB RAM and 16/64GB internal storage options.

The TENAA entry shows that there are three different version of this device made for three different carries in China namely, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom and all the models support 4G LTE networks. We expect rest of the specs to be similar to the regular model.

Xiaomi did the same with this year’s Redmi model, by offering a 2GB variant at a slightly higher price and more powerful features . And this process Looks like its going to do the same with Xiaomi Mi4 too.

No doubt, the major motto of reducing the specs is to bring down the cost and it is said that the Xiaomi Mi4 2GB edition will cost just about 1799 Yuan which comes to $289.

As per my opinion if this 2 Gb Model comes with dual sim and also different color options like redmi model than definitely create thunder in Mobile market. Because this flagship already creates history with its high end features and low prize tag.

When it comes to the latest software updates for our mobile devices we sometimes tend to think in fairly limited terms, focusing on only the major players like stock Android or iOS, or major ROM versions of the Android firmware like CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android. Plenty of smartphone manufacturers run their own custom version of the Android software however, and Xiaomi is a perfect example running their own in-house built custom MIUI flavor of Android on their smartphones. MIUI 6 is the latest version of the OS of Xiaomi and if you’re using a Xiaomi Redmi  1S, you might be  know that the Redmi 1S is going to be getting the update to MIUI 6.

The Redmi 1S won’t be the only older device getting the software bump however as it’s also been stated that other devices are going to be receiving the update to MIUI 6 as well sometime in the future. The Redmi 1S is not the first device to receive the update to MIUI 6 as Xiaomi officially announced the software version last summer in August of 2014 and it’s currently powering the Mi 4. Not too unlike stock Android however, there are many older devices that are left waiting for the latest version of software to be upgraded onto their phones months after the initial announcement and release.

When it comes to the owners of the Redmi 1S, the beta version of MIUI 6 is supposed to hit the airwaves sometime this week, with more devices getting the upgrade in the coming weeks ahead. Just like with other custom ROMs available for plenty of other more mainstream devices, MIUI 6 has an unofficial version of the ROM that is currently out there and available for a number of Xiaomi smartphones, which is an option for users who aren’t willing to wait for the official push from Xiaomi of the software update. Although it seems Xiaomi is starting to pick things up with the software rolling out to users more consistently now, they have been busy with many efforts in their expansion which could be an explanation as to why it’s taken longer than some may have expected to get the latest software build.
