We have been hearing rumours for quite some time about a Redmi Flagship device being in works, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor. The rumours gained more steam after Xiaomi announced Redmi as a separate brand. Even though there is no official word about it, yet the rumours refuse to die. Today, Xiaomi Vice President Lu Weibing cleared a bit of confusion about the Snapdragon 855 powered Redmi Flagship, though the clarification is still vague and do not discard the possibility of future release.
As per Lu Weibing clarification, Redmi is not going to launch a Snapdragon 855 powered Redmi Flagship in the near future and is focussed on Redmi 7 & Redmi 7 Pro production at the moment. They are focussed on selling at least 1 million units of the recently launched Redmi 7 & Redmi Note 7 Pro devices. The statement though doesn’t deny or discard the possibility of Snapdragon 855 powered Redmi Flagship device and may indeed get a release sometime later this year. But still, that is just an educated guess. Here is the translated version of Lu Weibing statement on Weibo (Original message is in the Chinese language).
