Alongside a bundle of blurry cam images, leaks from within factories making the next iteration say that it'll pack a 720p screen, one of Qualcomm'squad-core processors (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/05/qualcomm-snapdragon-s4-cpu-family-expands-past-phones-to-hdtvs/) and a dual-flash setup alongside the camera. There's still the curious absence of a front-facing camera, but this should to help ensure the phone lands with a price tag just as attractive asXiaomi's last device (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/xiaomi-phone-youth-edition/). While rival manufacturer Meizu priced its latest quad-core phone (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/15/meizu-mx-quad-core-launch-android-4-0/) at around $480, the Foxconn-based moles reckon this next-generation (likely MIUI-powered (http://www.engadget.com/tag/miui)) slab could land at just over of $300. If all these rumors (and that price) have piqued your interest, you can head on the source for a handful of extra images.
