The latest budget device from Xiaomi, the Redmi S2, is expected to launch on May 10. However, Aliexpress jumped the gun and posted the full Xiaomi Redmi S2 spec sheet, alongside a few pictures.
Although it starts at a humble $159.99 price point, the Redmi S2 really offers a lot of features in line with 2018 mobile trends. Even better, it doesn’t abandon the 3.5 mm headphone jack!
The screen is a 5,99-inch curved IPS LCD with 1440 x 720 resolution and a fashionable 18:9 aspect ratio.
In terms of processing power, the phone settles for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset and the Adreno 506 GPU. While all models come with a microSD card, the difference is in the RAM and storage. The Redmi S2 is available with 2 GB RAM + 6 GB of internal storage, 3 GB RAM + 32 GB internal storage or 4 GB RAM + 64 GB internal storage.
The dual rear camera, another must in 2018, can also be found on this budget smartphone. The Redmi S2 combines a 12MP primary camera with the Sony IMX486 / OmniVision OV12A10 sensor with another 5MP camera with the Samsung S5K5E8 sensor.
As for selfies, there’s a generous 16 MP front facing camera with an AI portrait mode.
The entire package is powered by a 3,080 mAh battery. If it caught your eye, you should know there’s a chance that, after a China and India release, the phone could roll out globally.
After all, Xiaomi finally managed to bring their phones to the UK.
