Redmi S2
According to gadgets 360's updated post the new Redmi S2 was launched in China on Thursday. This is the company's first smartphone in its Redmi S-Series.In this amazing Smartphone the biggest highlight is its front-facing camera which sports a 16-megapixel sensor with 2-micron pixels which is combined with AI-based beautification features, making it the 'best Redmi selfie phone' ever, the company said. Other highlights includes an dual rear camera setup, an 18:9 display, iPhone-style antenna lines, the Xiao Ai voice assistant, a Face Unlock feature, and the Snapdragon 625 SoC at its price point. The Redmi S2 was launched in collaboration with retailer Suning.com. "
The Xiaomi Redmi S2 follows along Xiaomi’s newer design language, one that bears a close resemblance to the Apple iPhone X thanks to the placement and design of the dual rear camera module. Since the device comes with a 5.99″ HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, there are no capacitive buttons on the front. The fingerprint scanner also consequently finds its way onto the back of the device.
The most notable feature on the Redmi S2, in my opinion, is that the device launches with MIUI 9 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo. This means that the device will be Project Treble compatible, allowing skilled users to completely forego MIUI and run an AOSP based ROM instead, without too many hassles. Combined with the thriving development community seen on other budget Xiaomi devices, this does bode well for the future of this budget devices.
