Xiaomi to announce something new next week. What could it be?

Xiaomi will be having its 5th anniversary on 31st of March. In conjunction with its celebration, Xiaomi will be having a little surprise for its fans with a new product announcement in China.

While there’s no official teasers yet, it is speculated that Xiaomi could be releasing a new mid-range device that’s rumoured with the codename “Ferrari”. It was spotted in benchmarks for having a 4.9″ Full HD display and it runs on an Octa-Core Snapdragon 615 processor with 2GB of RAM. Interestingly it is shown running on a newer Android 5.0.2. If this is real, this could be a more affordable alternative to the current Mi 4 and hopefully it does contain the necessary 4G LTE band to support international markets.

Another possibility is their new entry-level Redmi device which was rumoured to be priced below RM300. According to early speculation, it would share similar internals with the current Redmi 2 but it utilises a different processor to keep the price down.

If Xiaomi intends to make a big surprise, they could be announcing their very first Mi Watch. It was reported that their upcoming smart watch will feature a round watch face with a metal frame. This would probably give the round smart watches like the Moto 360, LG G Watch R, Huawei Watch and LG Urbane some challenge, price wise. At the same time, they are also working towards releasing a sequel for its Mi Band fitness wearable as well.

What do you think Xiaomi would announce next? We’ll find out for sure in a week time from now.
