Xiaomi Redmi 4 leaks via GeekBench, runs on Snapdragon 625

August 09, 2016 ,
The Xiaomi Redmi 3 may be still respawning into different flavors such as Redmi 3S, Redmi 3 Pro and Redmi 3X, but it seems the company is already working on its official successor.

Xiaomi Redmi 4 was found recently inside the GeekBench results database and we can now shed some light on its specs. Contradicting the previous reports for Helio X20 chip, the Redmi 4 to pass the GeekBench test ran on Snapdragon 625 chip.


The Snapdragon 625 platform is somewhat of a direct successor to the 616 SoC powering the Redmi 3. It employs an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 2GHz and a new Adreno 506 GPU. While the CPU A53 cores are of the same generation, the much higher CPU clock will surely make a difference. The LTE Cat.7 connectivity is also an upgrade over the Cat.4.


The Redmi 4 to pass through GeekBench featured 3GB RAM and running on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Here is how it stacks against other siblings:

GeekBench 3 (multi-score) Higher is Better

  • Xiaomi Redmi 4 (S625) 4751
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Helio X10) 4537
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (S650) 3695
  • Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro (S616) 2874
  • Xiaomi Redmi 3 (S616) 2842
  • Xiaomi Redmi 2 (S410) 1460
                               GeekBench 3 (multi-score) Higher is Better 

  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (S650) 1543
  • Xiaomi Redmi 4 (S625) 929
  • Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro (S616) 655
Indeed, there is quite a performance jump over the Redmi 3 and Redmi 3 Pro, as we suspected.

The Redmi 4 is expected to launch by the end of the year at about $150.
