The Chinese Phone War between Meizu vs Xiaomi continues. These days we see them teasing each other on Facebook back and forth, but now things are about to get real. There are very believable rumours that Xiaomi is launching new Flagship Redmi Phones to attack the Meizu MX4.

Since the release of the very popular Meizu MX4 the tension between Meizu and Xiaomi has been rising. This even resulted in insults between the two rivals. The result could be a full range of new Xiaomi Redmi Flagship Smartphons to counter the Meizu MX4 Series.

The newest rumors come from sources very close to xiaomi headquarters in Beijing. It seems like Xiaomi is working on a new range of Flagship Xiaomi Redmi Phones that will be priced from 999 yuan to 1499 yuan (520RM to 790RM). According to the rumors the new redmi phones will come with the latest Mediatek’s MT6595 Octa Core CPU, that we can also find in the Meizu MX4. Overall these phones are believed to be a serious update in terms of hardware to the current Redmi Series with 5.5 inch display, 3GB of RAM, 3500 mAH battery and maybe even the same 20.7 Sony Camera from the MX4.

If the new Xiaomi Redmi Series is already in development process, it would make much sense for Xiaomi to launch the new Xiaomi Redmi Phone rather sooner then later. Meizu is believed to launch a Meizu MX4 Pro and maybe even a Meizu MX4 Mini Version, so Xiaomi needs to be fast to not loose to much ground.

It is very intersting to follow the close competition between Meizu and Xiaomi. According to Meizu they had 7.7 Million PreOrders for the Meizu MX4, which means they are serious competition for the Xiaomi Mi4.

What do you think about the Rivalry? Do you think Meizu could be dangerous for Xiaomi or is it mostly Show?
