Chinese handset-maker Xiaomi is coming up with another entry into its Redmi Note 4 series and this time the variant is to be called 4X.

According to reports, Xiaomi took its official page on Chinese Twitter-like site Weibo to announce the launch of its upcoming Redmi Note 4X in China which is expected to be launched around February 14 -- Valentine's Day. Maybe this time the company might be banking on the love season for sales -- a good idea to gift your partner a smartphone maybe.

The teaser confirms that the phone will be called Redmi Note 4X but does not even offer a reference image of the device. Presumably, the 4X will come with some more bells and whistles under the hood and will be a tad more expensive than the Redmi Note 4.

As per earlier leaks, the Redmi Note 4X is expected to feature a 5.5-inch full-HD display, draw power from a 2GHz deca-core CPU, again presumably a MediaTek Helio X20 SoC, though other countries including in India may see launch of a Snapdragon 653 SoC variant as we have seen with the Redmi Nore 4.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is tipped to run Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The device may sport a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 4,000mAh battery, and a fingerprint sensor at the back.
