"Popular Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is holding an event to celebrate its\u00A0anniversary in early April, where it is speculated that a new device will be released.\r\n\r\nSigns are pointing to a second generation of its budget Android smartphone, the Redmi (previously known as the Hongmi in China).\u00A0All smartphones imported to China must be certified to use wireless networks, and a Sina Weibo posting today (via Engadget) noted\u00A0that a smartphone submitted by Xiaomi has been listed on radio communication device regulator\u00A0TENAA\u2019s\u00A0website, with the red Android buttons pointing to the fact that this is the Redmi.\r\n\r\nA quick check on the site, however, threw up four different versions of the Redmi. According to a Sina Tech report, the Redmi will be split into models powered by either a 1.4GHz or 1.7GHz octa-core processor, and each one of those will either support\u00A0TD-SCDMA (China\u2019s 3G network) or another 3G network,\u00A0WCDMA.\r\n\r\nThe second-generation Redmi is said to feature a\u00A05.5-inch 1280x720p display,\u00A0run on Android 4.2.2 and come equipped with 1GB of RAM. It is also said to have a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.\r\n\r\n[gallery ids=&amp;quot;744149,744150,744151&amp;quot;]\r\n\r\nThe Redmi is a key part of Xiaomi's march overseas. In its first global expansion, Xiaomi chose to bring the Redmi to consumers in Singapore first before launching its flagship Mi-3. Earlier today, 5,000 sets of Redmi were sold out in Singapore in a mere 8 minutes and 4 seconds.\r\n\r\nImages of Redmi via Sina Tech, headline image via Hugo Barra/Google+"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
