Besides that, the other hardware aspects of both variants of the Redmi Note are the same. The full specs of the Redmi Note are as follows:
MediaTek MK6592 octa-core chipset (1.4GHz with 1GB RAM or 1.7GHz with 2GB RAM)
5.5-inch 720p IPS display with full lamination TP
13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera
3200mAh battery
Dual-SIM, dual standby
Those eager to purchase the Redmi Note will also be glad to hear that it will be heading out of its native Chinese market in May, to Hong Kong, Taiwan and yes, Singapore. Malaysia is not included in the list for now, but Barra notes that other markets will be added “very soon”. Given that it has been confirmed that Xiaomi is planning to enter the Malaysian market in April, we could be seeing the Redmi Note pretty soon, too.
Finally, the price. The Xiaomi Redmi Note will be priced at $129 for the 1.4GHz/1GB configuration, and $159 for the 1.7GHz/2GB configuration, which at the time of writing would convert to about RM430 and RM530 respectively.
Don’t worry, we can’t seem to believe it ourselves.
