In addition to the flagship Mi 7, an unknown device called Xiaomi Cactus was found in the database of the Geekbench benchmark. It is believed that this is a possible modification of the Xiaomi Redmi 5X or simply a new budget machine of the Chinese giant.

What was told

A novelty with a strange name Cactus scored in the single-core test 802 points. In the multi-core mode, its result was 2334 points. These indicators correspond to the apparatus of the budget segment.

Xiaomi Cactus passed tests with the following characteristics: 4-core processor MediaTek MT6765 with a clock frequency of 2.0 GHz and 2 gigabytes of RAM. Controls the device OS Android 8.1.0 Oreo. Other characteristics, release date, normal name and price are still unknown.

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.
