With the second half of the year set to start, Xiaomi prepares its launch course in terms of budget-end devices. Given this, the coming weeks will be pivotal for the Chinese firm, which aims to reveal several new smartphones focused on the lower-end of the price segment. Accordingly, the upcoming Xiaomi budget smartphones in 2020 would have the MediaTek Helio G8X series processors, which offers exceptional smartphone performance.

A recent report from the Chinese tipster, Digital Chat Station, has revealed interesting details on these new smartphones. Xiaomi is reportedly working on two new smartphone models.
