Upleaks has also leaked the to be specifications of the new Xiaomi H3Y which include a full-HD display (unknown screen size, most probably 5 inches), an octa-core MediaTek MT6795 processor, 2GB RAM, dual-SIM 4G support, an 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 5-megapixel front shooter. It is said to feature a metallic design.

The handset is also said to run MIUI 6 based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. Upleaks has also shared couple of images of the Xiaomi H3Y smartphone showing front and rear panel.

Both the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and Redmi Note 2 Pro were tipped to sport 13-megapixel rear cameras and 5-megapixel front-facing cameras.
