Xiaomi Redmi Note name confirmed, official image shows up
Until then, however, the company is getting ready to launch a new Android-based handset that seems to take direct aim at Samsung’s Galaxy Note line.
Called Xiaomi Redmi Note, the new device reportedly features a 5.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels and a “true octa-core” processor made by MediaTek.
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun posted an official image showing the new Redmi (seen above), thus confirming that this is the 5.5-inch Xiaomi handset that appeared last week.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note may cost as low as $162 (999 CNY). It looks like the handset will be available to purchase starting March 19 - only in China (at least for the beginning). Xiaomi will probably sell millions of these, further establishing itself as one of the new stars of the Chinese smartphone market.
