Xiaomi will soon release a new budget friendly device. Well, well, who told us that? Birdie? Umm, No. Geekbench.

Yup, a new budget-friendly device has appeared on the certification site Geekbench. The new device is known by the moniker Xiaomi Helium.

According to the listing, Xiaomi Helium will feature Snapdragon 617 processor clocked at 1.40 GHz. The 8 core processor is kind of old-ish but what else could a budget friendly device get?
