Xiaomi announces two variations of Redmi Note phablets

March 20, 2014March 20, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Xiaomi has officially announced Redmi’s successor and it seems like there are two variations of the previously-reported Redmi Note when it hits store shelves. Learn more of their specs and pricing after the break.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note (or Hongmi 2 as they call it in China) was reported to come in two different models — with processor and RAM the only ones different. It’s still unknown what names to call them just to separate the two options apart so let’s just refer to them as the high-end and low-end versions at this time.

High-end Redmi Note specs:

5.5-inch IPS display @ 1280 x 720 pixels with OGS technology, 178-degree viewing angle
1.7GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor
Mali450 GPU
2GB RAM
8GB storage (expandable)
13MP rear with LED flash and 5MP front cameras
Dual-SIM (TD-SCDMA/HSPA for SIM 1 slot and GSM/EDGE for SIM 2 slot)
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
3200mAh battery
MIUI v5 on top of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Low-end Redmi Note specs:

5.5-inch IPS display @ 1280 x 720 pixels with OGS technology, 178-degree viewing angle
1.4GHz MediaTek MT6592 octa-core processor
Mali450 GPU
1GB RAM
8GB storage (expandable)
13MP rear with LED flash and 5MP front cameras
Dual-SIM (TD-SCDMA/HSPA for SIM 1 slot and GSM/EDGE for SIM 2 slot)
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
GPS
3200mAh battery
MIUI v5 on top of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

The 1.4GHz variant of the Redmi Note will be priced at 799 Chinese Yuans (approx. Php 5,700) while the 1.7GHz model will be at 999 Chinese Yuans (approx. Php7,200). For a phablet, they’re definitely competitively-priced.

Both will be available in different colors to choose from and would be on the Chinese market starting March 26, eventually making their way to other countries after that.

Samsung unveils its own “True Octa-core” processor

September 10, 2013September 10, 2013 Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

Almost two month after MediaTek announced the world’s first “True Octa-core” processor, and lambasted the Samsung’s chip in the process, the South Korean firm is back with a vengeance which comes in the form of the revamped Exynos 5 with HMP technology.

Unlike the previous build, Samsung’s newly announced ARM-based SoC is now able to utilize all of its eight processor cores thanks to a solution they coined Heterogeneous Multi-Processing.

exynos 5 octa

The engine still follows the same big.LITTE setup which consist four Cortex-A15 processors (big) and a quartet of Cortex-A7 (LITTLE) chips. Based on the task at hand, Samsung’s new HMP-equipped processor can either fire on all cylinders or go mellow and let the little ones handle simple tasks.

According to Samsung, the new and improved Exynos 5 Octa Soc is set to makes its debut on the last quarter of this year.
