What to expect

In April, the Geekbench database was visited by another unknown smartphone Xiaomi Cereus with a MediaTek MT6765 chip, just like Cactus. Then it was thought that it could be Xiaomi Redmi 5X, but it came out with a Snapdragon 625 processor. Perhaps Xiaomi Cactus and Cereus will be the same brand new cheap device.
