Emir BardakçıXiaomi is said to be working on the development of three upcoming smartphones with codenames Lapis, Kunzite, and Coral, all targeting the budget class. According to inside information, Lapis and Kunzite are to experience a global release, while Coral is to remain exclusive to the Chinese region.
Technical specifications remain unknown, but initial rumors point towards these devices falling within the lineup of the Redmi Note 15 series — probably the Redmi Note 15 5G and Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G. These phones are rumored to bring competitive specs for an aggressive price tag.
Global strategy vs Local strategy: A shrewd move
By rolling out Lapis and Kunzite worldwide, Xiaomi maintains the strategy of providing high-value devices for different markets. These phones should deliver the 5G experience and enhanced battery life, consistent with the Redmi tradition of delivering high-performance at an affordable price. Coral that is China-specific may include more localized software features.
What Do We Expect From These Models
Though complete specs have not leaked, these are preliminary forecasts based on the Note trend:
- 5G
- Out of box with Android 16
When priced comparably to previous models, they could run anywhere from $180 to $250 USD, perfect for budget buyers looking for solid 5G performance.
Stay Up-to-Date with Xiaomi System Apps
Users who wish to update their Xiaomi apps before release may download MemeOS Enhancer, which is offered on Google Play. This is software that offers access to:
- Secret Xiaomi features
- Most recent HyperOS system applications
- Single-click access to the screen
