Dual cameras are something we are seeing a lot more of this year, and according to supply chain chatter the next gen Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 could also come with dual rear lenses.

After the launch of the Xiaomi Max, a huge Xiaomi with large battery if any of you had managed to miss it, attention has now shifted to what Xiaomi could launch next. On the cards are a 2nd generation Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (rumoured to have a curved display like the Vivo Xplay 5), and then there are the 4th generation versions of both the Redmi and Redmi Note 4.

While its unlikely that we will see the Redmi Note 4 launch too soon (the Note 3 only came a few months back) it doesn’t mean that the supply chain for the phone hasn’t been solved which has lead to some interesting news.

Along with apparently getting a Mediatek Helio X20 chipset, the new Redmi Note 4 could also receive a dual camera rear camera set up supplied by the same manufacturer who supplied the sensors and lenses for the Huawei P9.

If Xiaomi were able to offer the same hardware and similar camera performance to the P9 at the price point of the Huawei P9, it would really deal a blow to the Chinese tech giant even with their exclusive cooperation with Leica.

Other details which have emerged are that the Redmi Note 5 will retain a 5.5-inch screen size, all metal body and a fingerprint scanner.

What do you think? Is a Redmi Note 4 with dual camera set up possible?
