New reports suggest Xiaomi will release its highly anticipated flagship dubbed Redmi Note 4 smartphone this month.

According to Android Headlines, Liu Hao Ran, a Chinese actor and one of Xiaomi's new spokespersons, has revealed that the company has scheduled a launch event on July 27 to unveil the new Redmi series phone at Beijing National Convention center. While, nothing about the device to be unveiled at the event was announced, it is expected that the handset in question is the Redmi Note 4.

It is to be noted that Ran is a spokesperson for the company's Redmi line of devices. So, the announcement coming from the actor's mouth suggests that a new Redmi-branded phone will get announced at the event.

Recently, GSM Arena posted a leaked teaser of the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 which shows a dual rear camera setup. In the picture, the LED flash can be seen placed in between the two cameras, while the Mi logo is placed further down the Redmi Note 4's back. There's no sign of a fingerprint scanner on the back of the handset. It is speculated that the fingerprint scanner may be embedded in a physical Home button.

Among other specs, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 smartphone is expected to feature a 10-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and an impressive 128GB of internal storage space, reported GizChina, citing TENAA documents.

As per the report, the upcoming handset will be powered by the slightly more powerful Helio X25 chipset and will feature fast 5V/2A charging technology. In addition, the Redmi Note 4 is expected to run the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, with the company's MIUI 8 OS on top of it. No details regarding the price of the phone have been leaked yet.

We would advise our readers to take the information with a grain of salt as nothing about the release date, specs and pricing of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 has been announced yet.
