Following a series of rumours over the past few months, Apple has unveiled two new iPhone models, a 4.7in variant and a large-screen model featuring 5.5in screen.

The unlocked version of 4.7in iPhone 6 is now available for purchase via UK Apple Store with suggested retail price starting from £539, whereas the 5.5in model at £619 having similar storage.
With the latest iOS 8 software and the new A8 64-bit processor, the iPhone 6 is one of the most powerful smartphone.
However, if price is the only concern for those who wish to own a budget-friendly large-screen device delivering faster performance, Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi Note could serve better.
 
Rumours are doing rounds about a new addition to Xiaomi's Redmi Note lineups, which has been spotted at Xiaomi's blog. The posting at the site reveals a few hardware features of the smartphone.
According to the listing, the successor to current Xiaomi Redmi Note will pack a MediaTek MT6595 32-bit octa-core processor with four Cortex-A17 core running clock speeds up to 2.2GHz and rest four Cortex-A7 cores clocked up to 1.7GHz, while paired with 3GB RAM.

The MediaTek MT6595 octa-core is said to be the fastest processor and has scored 47, 233 points in the AnTuTu benchmarks, adds Chinese site gadgetzarena. 

The blog post further states that new Redmi handset will sport a 5.5in full HD display, 20.7 megapixel rear-camera, an eight megapixel front-camera and a huge 3, 500mAh battery supporting faster charging capability. In terms of connectivity, the smartphone will support 4G LTE networks speed, NFC and some gesture sensors.

The new Redmi Note will have 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB variants with price tag bearing $165, $215 and $245 respectively. The price for the 128GB model is unknown.
 
While comparing this with 5.5in Phone 6 Plus, next Redmi Note with the same screen size is six times cheaper.

小米可能推出1499元红米新机

MX4为导火索，近日小米与魅族开始了新一轮“战争”，就连MX4采用了MTK处理器也被拿来说事，借“帮MTK上官网”的名义对魅族大肆抨击，逼得联发科官方人士现身澄清：不提MTK6595是因为“两家公司事先达成默契”，目的是让MT6595的真实表现来征服大家。事实上魅族MX4的相关评测中，联发科这款当前性能最强的SOC确实得到了不少赞。

既然软的不行，小米方面似乎打算来硬碰硬的，小米副总裁黎万强日前抛出推出新机的话题，可能会在红米系列增加一款旗舰级产品，售价1499元！

很明显，黎万强所说的这款1499元红米旗舰就是针对MX4而推出，根据小米官方的意思，这款红米新机种可能继续会采用MTK处理器，而且预计会采用与魅 族MX4一样的MT6595八核LTE SOC，也只有这样才具备宣传效果，你我平台一样，我就是要比你便宜。不过稍稍关注过MX4的机友都了解，魅族MX4除了首发MTK6595八核，其设计 工艺、强大的拍照硬件以及flyme等都是可圈点的地方，受限于成本，1499元的红米新机很难在其它方面超越MX4，君不见售1999元的小米4采用的 也是奥氏体304不锈钢。

 一直以来红米系列的用料、外观设计都给人“大众”感，除了低价，似乎并没有太多值得特别关注的地方。此外站在用户的角度，红米新机能否与魅族MX4分庭抗 礼并不重要，如果小米真有决心在红米系列上做出一部精品机，估计关注的用户不会少，通过微博评论能看到这种“渴望”。

结合当前环境来看，这事还有很多的不确定性，且行且期待吧。
