Xiaomi have recently announced their latest Redmi S2 smartphone for 999 CNY (~RM629) with 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 1299 CNY (~RM808) with 4GB RAM + 64GB storage. Featuring a 16MP front camera with AI or Smart selfie and an LED flash, it uses the tried and true Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 with a 12MP + 5MP dual rear camera on the back.

Available in gold, rose gold and silver, the Redmi S2 supports a microSD slot, 5.99-inch HD+ fullview display and a rear fingerprint sensor. Design seems somewhat generic with a metal body and clear top and bottom antenna bands but at least the phone looks slim and easy to grip. Other tech specs include a microUSB port, dedicated dual SIM and microSD slots, 3.5mm audio jack and IR blaster.

According to Xiaomi, the Redmi S2 is part of their new affordable selfie centric series but no Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet. Considering how many selfie lovers we have here, it wouldn't be surprising if it does come to Malaysia but what do you think? How much would you pay for it (especially in our soon-to-be-GST-free Malaysia)?
