Xiaomi's new smartphone codenamed 'Meri' spotted in benchmarks and live photos

After Redmi Note 4, Redmi 3S, it looks like Xiaomi is reportedly working on a new mid-range smartphone codenamed Meri. The rumored handset have been spotted on Geekbench and AnTuTu benchmarks, and in a handful of live photos.

On the front the phone appears to have a 2.5D glass on top of the screen and there's a physical home button, which could also integrate fingerprint sensor. Overall the design resembles Xiaomi's recently announced Mi 5S.

The AnTuTu listing reveals that Meri will have a 5.5-inch 1080p display, 64GB storage and RockChip SoC with 4 x Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 4 x Cortex A-53 cores clocked at 1.4GHz. It received a medicore score of 63,581 points.

On the other hand, the Geekbench listing reveals Xiaomi Meri to have 1.4GHz octa-core processor, 3GB RAM and run Android Marshmallow. The device received a score of 578 on a single-core test and 3105 points on multi-core test.
