Digital Chat Station also claims that the camera specs might vary for Chinese and Global variants.
The report further claims that there will be three regions for Gauguin series - China, India, and Global, which is a sign that Xiaomi will be bringing the new devices to India as well as other global markets. We could see them under one of its sub-brands too The devices are expected to pack in Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC instead of MediaTek Dimesnity series. And, lastly, the model number of Gauguin is expected to end in J17 and the model number of the Gauguin Pro is expected to end with J17Pro.
