Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Set to Launch on June 29

Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun has revealed the launch date for the successor to the Redmi Note smartphone. Jun on Monday confirmed a launch later this month for an upcoming Note smartphone via a post on Weibo. He also shared a screenshot of the home screen likely from the new Redmi Note 2.

The official confirmation from Xiaomi comes within a week after the Redmi Note 2 reportedly was certified in China tipping new details on the innards.
The June-end launch of the Redmi Note 2 seems in line with a leaked roadmap last month that claimed Xiaomi might launch the Redmi Note successor in July. We can expect the Chinese company to kick off sales of the Redmi Note 2 in July. It also indicated that the Xiaomi Redmi Note Pro might launch alongside the Redmi Note 2 model.
Some of the rumoured specifications of the Redmi Note 2 gleaned from the certification site include a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display; Android 5.0 or 5.1 with MIUI on top; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera, and battery larger than 3000mAh. The smartphone is said to support TD-LTE network connectivity tipping that this time there might be just one Redmi Note variant.
To recall, Xiaomi launched two Redmi Note handsets: a 3G-only variant and another featuring 4G LTE support. Notably, the Redmi Note 2 is said to pack MediaTek's recently launched Helio X10 (MT6795) chipset.
An earlier report however claimed that the Redmi Note 2 will be powered by a Snapdragon 410 (MSM8919) processor.
The Chinese company recently claimed that it sold 10 million Mi 4 smartphones worldwide. Additionally, a Xiaomi spokesperson was cited to claim the company surpassed 6 million shipments of the Mi Band fitness tracker worldwide.

Xiaomi Working On Its Own Chip For The Redmi 2 Successor

Xiaomi is apparently working on developing its own independent SoC solution to power the next iteration in its Redmi line of smartphones. The company is looking to join a group of select few manufacturers, who have engineered in-house chipsets and aim to put an end to the Qualcomm/Mediatek dependance.

The info comes from Mr. Kevin Wang, a senior executive at industry analyst IHS Technology‘s Chinese branch.
According to him, the home-grown chip is at least as powerful as the Leadcore L1860C silicon, currently employed in the more affordable Redmi 2A. The entry-level smartphone equipped with the Leadcore chip is now selling for as little as CNY 499 ($80). The regular Snapdragon 410-powered Redmi 2 is somewhat pricier, at about $110.
Smartphone manufacturers’ success with in-house chipsets has been a mixed bag. Samsung has provided an Exynos alternative for several generations of Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series smartphones, and eventually struck gold with the Exynos 7420, found in the Galaxy S6/S6 edge.
Meanwhile Huawei’s Kirin lineup, manufactured by its HiSilicon subsidiary, has gone from downright disappointing with the Kirin 910T in the Ascend P7, to moderately powerful with the Kirin 925 in the Ascend Mate7 and 930 in the recently reviewed P8. However, both the 925 and 930 have been serious letdowns in terms of graphic performance.
Xiaomi’s move targets a lower segment of the market though, so their solution might be just good enough for the task.
