News & Reviews:   Xiaomi Redmi specification

The China-brand smartphone invasion is upon us as Xiaomi has announced plans that it will be arriving in Malaysia soon. Coming from Hugo Barra, VP of Xiaomi Global in an interview with HardwareZone Singapore, Malaysia will see a Malaysian branch for Xiaomi in the next two months (which would be April 2014). Xiaomi recently came out with the Redmi smartphone in Singapore at S$169 (RM441) with some respectable tech specs which included a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 4.7-inch IPS display and dual-SIM support. No news yet if this is the exact same smartphone Malaysia will be getting for the initial Xiaomi Malaysia launch but more smartphone brand makers can only mean good things for buyers here in Malaysia. No specific Malaysia release dates were mentioned though, but we're guessing Xiaomi smartphones and devices being available here in or after April 2014.
