Xiaomi has an all-new Redmi device up its sleeve for Indian consumers and the company is looking for ‘Mi Explorers’ to gear up for the launch. In its tweet, the company has called out Mi fans to be part of the Mi Explorers Challenge who could help Xiaomi perfect its next product based on user feedback. Although Xiaomi doesn’t mention which Redmi device it will launch, but all speculations hint at the India debut of the Redmi Note 4 in January.
The Mi Explorers page explains the requirements for someone to participate in the challenge. The last date to apply for the Mi Explorers Challenge is December 30. Winners stand a chance to win the upcoming Redmi device. Once you log into the Mi account, you will be required to finish a questionnaire in five minutes in which the questions range from identifying Mi products to the terms and conditions of the Mi Explorers challenge. Once you complete the survey, Mi India will contact you in case you are selected to become an explorer. As the product launch is preceded by user feedback and data, the group of explorers are likely to get hands on the purported Redmi device before the masses.
Xiaomi had hosted a similar Mi Explorers program before the launch of the Redmi Note 3 phablet in India earlier this year. The Redmi Note 3 had been the ‘highest-shipped smartphone ever online in India in any given quarter,’ according to a report on IDC. With the Redmi Note 4, the company intends to continue dominating the Indian smartphone sphere. The smartphone, priced at RMB 899 (approximately Rs 9,000) for the base variant, will yet again be one of the budget phablet smartphones offering a blend of looks and features.
The Redmi Note 4 features a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display with 2.5D curved glass on top. In China, it is powered by a MediaTek Helio X20 deca-core SoC, but for the Indian market, Xiaomi will no doubt switch to a Qualcomm chipset, mostly Snapdragon 625 SoC. In the photography department, the Redmi Note 4 features a 13-megapixel rear camera LED flash, f/2.0 aperture and PDAF support. For selfies, it comes with a 5-megapixel front camera with f/2.0 aperture and 85-degree wide-angle lens. The company’s invite for Mi Explorers also hints at photography at the centre of the challenge as skills in photography and videography will be bonuses for selecting Mi fans.
