Xiaomi Redmi Pro Teardown

Xiaomi Redmi Pro has a metal body, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of onboard storage and MediaTek’s Helio X25 ten-core processor. There’s 4G LTE support for two SIM cards, but you could also use one SIM card and insert a micro-SIM card. There’s a fingerprint sensor too, located below the 5.5-inch full-HD OLED display.

A basic version of the Pro will sport 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage and will use the Helio X20 processor instead.

The phone was launched on 6 August and will sell for the low price of 1,499 yuan (around $225), although the highest end version goes for 1,999 yuan (about $300). It will also be sold offline in stores as well as Xiaomi’s usual online model. While it’s only for China now, expect to see the company launch the phone in markets like India, Hong Kong, and Singapore shortly after.
