A new flagship smartphone
According to a report by GSMArena, the company has been rumored to be planning to replace its Redmi Pro 2 line-up with another smartphone called "Xiaomi X1." The major highlights of this smartphone will be its bezel-less design tagged along with special features.

Talking about the normal model, the Xiaomi X1 smartphone is expected to pack a 5.5-inch full-HD display with a screen resolution of 2,160 x 1,080 pixels. Furthermore, the smartphone will most probably be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 660 processor.
Rumored specs and features
The regular variant of the Xiaomi X1 will offer 4GB of RAM coupled with 64GB of internal storage. On the camera front, the Xiaomi X1 smartphone is expected to flaunt either IMX362 or IMX386 dual-camera set-up. There will also be a fingerprint sensor located on the rear panel of the device.
As far as the connectivity options are concerned, the smartphone will most definitely feature a 3.5mm audio jack along with other basic facilities.
As far as the pricing of the aforementioned smartphone is concerned, it will vary from storage variant to storage variant. While the 64GB Xiaomi X1 is expected to be priced at 1,999 Yuan (approximately Rs 19,049), the 128GB Xiaomi X1 will start at a base price of 2,499 Yuan (approximately Rs 23,847).
