The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 is rumoured to launch at the end of this month. According to a new rumour from China, the handset will be launched with MediaTek's Helio P25 chipset and not Qualcomm's yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 660 processor. Additionally, the Redmi Pro 2 will feature a dual-rear camera setup like its predecessor.

The new report refutes previous rumours which hinted at Xiaomi ditching the dual-camera setup on the Redmi Pro 2. Like most Xiaomi smartphones, the Redmi Pro 2 will also feature an all-metal design with 2.5D curved glass. The handset is likely to arrive in two variants – one with 4GB RAM, 64GB storage and the other with 6GB RAM, 128GB storage.

Xiaomi recently introduced the Mi 5C with its own custom processor named Surge S1. The company is also reportedly working on its 2017 flagship smartphone, the Mi 6, which is tipped to launch in April with Snapdragon 835 SoC. The Xiaomi Redmi Pro 2 may launch ahead of the Mi 6, and rumours suggest that the 4GB RAM variant will be priced at 1,599 Yuan (around Rs 16,000), while the 6GB RAM variant will retail for 1,799 Yuan (around Rs 18,000). There is no word on the official launch date yet.
