While the Chinese models have the MediaTek Helio x20 chipset, the Indian variant may be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 due to a court injuction banning the Chinese to use MediaTek in India.

What makes the Xiamoi Redmi Note 4 a potential favorite among 2017 smartphones is that its high-end specs come at very budget-friendly price with an estimated cost of $179.99 dollars for the 16GB and $239.99 dollars for the 64GB.

As to what Xiaomi will unveil in CES 2017, speculations are rife that it will bring the Xiaomi Mi Mix that took the online community by storm with its almost non-existent bezels. However, the Chinese tech giant has other products like the VR headset, smartwatch or tablets, any of which might debut at CES according to BGR.
