Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 spec leak: single camera with Dual Pixel AF, bigger battery

Image
The Redmi Pro was an experiment by Xiaomi - it used a China-made OLED display and a dual-camera. Now its successor is on the horizon and a screen snap that (allegedly) shows its specs. The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 drops the dual camera but its single digital eye on the back uses a better sensor - the 12MP Sony IMX 362. This is a 1/2.55” sensor with large 1.4µm pixels and Dual Pixel autofocus. That’s a good deal better than the 1µm pixels that the Mi Note and Mi Mix got.

Report suggests the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus will have bigger batteries than the S7 duo

Samsung SDI will provide the batteries for the Galaxy S8 and a new report suggests they will have larger capacities than the S7 batteries. The Galaxy S8 will have a 3,250mAh battery and the Galaxy S8 Plus a 3,750mAh one according to the report. That’s up from S7’s 3,000mAh and S7 edge’s 3,600mAh battery. Those batteries will have to feed larger screens - 5.8” and 6.2” according to the latest info - though the Snapdragon 835 is reportedly more battery efficient than the 820 chipset it replaces. The rumor mill expects the Galaxy S8 duo to go on sale on April 21 for €800 and €900 respectively.
