Redmi S2 has been listed on Chinese certification agencies TENAA and 3C, as well as on e-commerce website Aliexpress. According to the listings, the handset sports a 5.99-inch display with HD+ resolution (720x1440 pixels), 18:9 aspect ratio, and narrow bezels on the sides. It is said to come with Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 9 operating system, though we can expect MIUI 9.5 to be announced too now that Xiaomi is officially releasing the build in a phased manner. Powering the Redmi S2 will be the Snapdragon 625 SoC, with Adreno 506 GPU for graphics. It will reportedly come in a number of colour options, namely Black, Rose Gold, Gold, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Grey, and Silver.

The selfie camera will be the highlight of Redmi S2, with AI portrait mode and AI beautification at the centre of it all, complementing 16-megapixel sensor in front. As for the rear camera, official photos show a vertical dual camera setup, with a Xiaomi teaser suggesting a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor. According to the TENAA listings, the smartphone will have microSD card support up to 256GB for storage expansion, but the Aliexpress listing caps the same at 128GB. The Redmi S2 battery capacity is said to be 3080mAh; it will reportedly weigh 170 grams
