Redmi 855 Flagship Smartphone Specifications Leak Online

Redmi separated from its parent company Xiaomi back in the month of January. While the brand has launched smartphones in the budget and the mid-range segment, it has been long rumoured to announce a flagship device. The details of the handset have been leaked online time and again. Now, a user on Weibo has listed the specifications of the upcoming flagship smartphone from Redmi, reported to be called the Redmi Pro 2.

Redmi 855 Flagship

Redmi Note 7 Pro

The upcoming Redmi 855 smartphone will be the company’s first flagship device since its inception earlier this year. According to previous leaks, it will have an all-glass design on the front and back, like the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The handset will have a 6.39-inch display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 px. Unfortunately, the details about the display design of the smartphone are not known yet. So it remains to be seen if the upcoming device from Redmi uses a hole punch, a waterdrop notch or an elevating mechanism to maximise the screen real estate.

The leak further reveals the flagship smartphone from Redmi will run on the Snapdragon 855 SoC which is manufactured using the 7nm fabrication process. The chipset consists of an Octa-core CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU. In terms of optics, the device will sport a triple rear camera setup, comprised of an f/1.8 aperture equipped 48 MP Sony IMX 586 sensor; a secondary f/2.4 aperture equipped 13 MP ultra-wide sensor, and a tertiary f/2.4 aperture equipped 8 MP telephoto sensor. For selfies, the handset will have an f/2.0 aperture equipped 32 MP front-facing camera. In terms of memory and storage, the Redmi flagship may feature up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Redmi Pro 2 Leaks With Snapdragon 855 SoC And Pop Up Selfie Camera

Earlier this year, Redmi parted itself from Xiaomi to turn into an entirely independent brand. The first smartphones launched by the newly separated brand include the Redmi Note 7 and Redmi Note 7 Pro which have received favourable reviews globally. The company has been long rumoured to launch a flagship level smartphone with the Snapdragon 855 SoC. Key details about the upcoming device have leaked on the Chinese social media website, Weibo which states the handset will carry the Redmi Pro 2 moniker.

Redmi Pro 2 Features

According to the leak, the Redmi Pro 2 will have a similar design language to its younger siblings, the Redmi Note 7 and the Note 7 Pro. The leak exhibits a smartphone with a high screen to body ratio and gradient style back. Noteworthy, the smartphone does not feature a notch on top of the display instead it has a popup selfie camera like the Vivo V15 Pro. Unlike the previously launched Redmi smartphones, the upcoming handset features a triple rear camera setup. The leak states that out of the three rear facing cameras, one is a 48 MP sensor.

Vivo V15 Pro With Pop Up Camera

Another significant feature that the Redmi 2 Pro is reported to have is an in-display fingerprint sensor which is slowly becoming the industry standard amongst flagship devices. As previously mentioned, the smartphone will be kitted with the latest Snapdragon 855 SoC which is manufactured using a 7nm fabrication process. This makes the chipset highly power efficient resulting in a longer battery backup. Other details including the screen size, battery capacity and connectivity options will only be revealed once the handset is officially announced.

Credibility of the Leak And Launch Date

As the leak comes from a public source, its credibility is hard to assess. However, Xiaomi’s co-founder, Lei Jun was previously spotted next to an unfamiliar smartphone which is alleged to be the Redmi 2 Pro. Notably, the aforementioned device looks similar to the one from the freshly leaked poster. Hence, the leak has high plausibility of turning out true.

Xiaomi To Launch 48 Megapixel Camera Smartphone This Month

Xiaomi has always been secretive about their phones but are known to tease their customers with snippets. Last month, a top executive from Xiaomi posted a photo of a teaser for a phone that showed the back of the phone and the camera partially. The text under the camera said “48 MP Camera”. The executive also said that the phone would be launched in January of 2019.

What We Know So Far?

Recently, a new poster has surfaced with the words “Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen” . Another poster hints at the Redmi Pro 2 being launched. Connecting the dots, it seems like the Redmi Pro 2 will be launched at the event. If it is indeed the Redmi Pro 2, it will be the first phone in the world to have a camera with as high a resolution as 48 Megapixel.

The Nokia Lumia 1020 was one of the highest megapixel cameras launched with a 41 MP back camera. The phone image shared by the Xiaomi executive suggests it to have a vertical camera setup with a flash. We also suspect that the phone will have higher storage capacities, specially since higher megapixel cameras shoot images that are considerably large in size. Our guess would be at least 256 GB of storage along with complimentary Mi Cloud storage.

Speculations are rife that the phone will sport a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel sensor or Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright GM1 48-megapixel sensor. What was initially thought to be the Xiaomi Mi 9 might just be the Redmi Pro 2. Given that the first Redmi Pro was launched way back in July of 2016, a new Redmi pro was long overdue! In fact the event isn’t far away at all. It has been organised for tomorrow and we are all hopeful that Xiaomi will start off the year with a bang!
