Following up on successful products in the low/mid end such as the Redmi Note 3 and in niche markets like the Mi Max, Xiaomi has released the Redmi Pro, the new “Redmi Flagship”. In typical Xiaomi fashion, the Redmi Pro packs in a punch on a budget, but one of the main selling points of the phone will be its Dual Rear Camera setup.
The Redmi Pro bears an aluminium body with a brushed metal finish. Since the device bears external plastic antennae as visible on the body, it would be no surprise if the device sported a unibody setup. The back of the device is home to the dual cameras, which is the main USP of the device. The fingerprint sensor, which is usually found on the back below the camera in Xiaomi’s budget offerings, is now placed on the front just like it was on the Mi 5. The front of the device also houses a 5.5″ OLED display, promising greater contrast than typical LCD displays.
On the inside, the Redmi Pro comes in two processor variants: one with Helio X20 SoC and one with Helio X25 SoC. The Helio X25 SoC bears a tri-cluster setup built on a 20nm process. The low power cores comprise of 4x Cortex-A53 clocked ordinarily at 1.55GHz, the medium power cores comprise of 4x Cortex-A53 clocked at 2.0GHz while the performance part of things is handled by 2x Cortex-A72 clocked at 2.5GHz. The Helio X20 is similar in its setup but bears lower clock speeds across all clusters. The GPU on these SoCs falls on the Mali-T880 with different clock speeds for either.
The Helio X20 variant comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The Helio X25 is further divided into two variants, with the middle variant being the one with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage and the top variant being the one with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Asides from these, there does not appear to be anymore differences between the variants. So you can expect a hybrid SIM slot, a USB Type C port, a front fingerprint scanner and a hefty 4,050 mAh battery across all the three variants.
As mentioned earlier, the unique feature of the Redmi Pro is its twin camera setup on the back. The primary rear camera is a 13MP Sony IMX258 sensor, while the secondary rear camera is a 5MP Samsung sensor responsible for capturing information related to the depth of field. Xiaomi is boasting of DSLR quality bokeh with these, but seeing how one other company erred with their claims in the past, we will withhold judgement till we get to try out the device. The front camera is a 5MP shooter with a wide angle lens.
Interestingly, Xiaomi did not mention the MIUI or the Android version of the device in their announcement blog post. But an educated guess would be that the device would be coming in with MIUI 8 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The device is currently released only for the Chinese market with prices starting off at CNY 1,499 ($225) for the base variant of the Redmi Pro, CNY 1,699 ($255) for the middle variant and CNY 1,999 ($300) for the top variant. Pricing and availability of the device outside of China is unknown at this stage, but we can expect the phone to land in the Indian market with a Snapdragon SoC within the INR 20,000 mark.
