For those who have already lost track of the Xiaomi smartphones that appear at short intervals, Xiaomi has introduced another "Redmi" smartphone, namely the "Xiaomi Redmi Pro". We have summarized for you in this preview what Xiaomi is surprising us with this time and what hardware the Redmi Pro brings with it!
Xiaomi Redmire Pro
Dual camera
Probably the most interesting feature of the Redmi 3 Pro is a dual camera system. The main camera uses a Sony IMX258 image sensor with a resolution of 13 megapixels as the image sensor. In addition, there is another camera below the main camera, which has a resolution of 5 megapixels and uses a Samsung image sensor. It is easy to explain why many manufacturers have recently started using such a camera system. Dual cameras enable wide-angle shots on the one hand, provided that one of the cameras has a higher viewing angle. In addition, an improved depth of field is generated. The Xiaomi Redmi Pro does not calculate the depth of field on the software side, but relies on a MediaTek imagiq ISP.
Aluminum unibody, fingerprint scanner and USB Type-C
Xiaomi attaches great importance to high-quality workmanship in its smartphones. The Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro should also be something special, which is why the manufacturer uses a unibody housing made of brushed aluminum, among other things. The housing edges are finely and neatly edged using a CNC machine. The teaser images also show that Xiaomi uses curved glass, which means that the edges of the display glass are slightly rounded.
The home button of the device is made of ceramic and also contains the fingerprint scanner. There are no further details so far. A USB Type-C socket is used as the USB data or charging socket. With USB Type-C, the plug can be plugged in on both sides and the annoying trying back and forth is no longer necessary.
OLED display
The display diagonal is 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The panel used should be an OLED panel that covers 100% of the NTSC color space and has a contrast ratio of 60.000:1. The advantages of an OLED display are, on the one hand, the very high contrast, but also the more compact design. In addition, an OLED display does not require an additional light source, but is self-illuminating.
Processor
The Xiaomi Redmi Pro will appear in several variants. The most powerful variant has a MediaTek Helio X25 processor installed, which has a total of 10 cores and clocks with a maximum of 2.5GHz. The Redmi Pro with Helio X25 SoC will again be available with 3GB, but also with 4GB RAM. The internal memory is 64GB for the 3GB version and 128GB for the 4GB version. In addition, a version of the Redmi Pro will be released with a MediaTek Helio X20 processor. This smartphone offers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
Other
The battery of the new Xiaomi smartphone will have a capacity of 4050mAh, which is why a long battery life can be assumed. It is also a dual SIM smartphone that can be operated with two SIM cards inserted at the same time. There is no information about the supported network standards so far, but it can be assumed that this smartphone will not support LTE Band 20 either!
The price quoted by the manufacturer, excluding additional dealer surcharges and import taxes, is around €273 for the “flagship” with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The price of the second Helio X25 variant is around €232. The slimmed down version with Helio X20 processor costs around €204. It is currently not known when exactly the smartphone will be released. Further information will of course be provided here.
