XiaomiUI claims that while the model numbers suggest a December 2021 launch, Redmi may not be able to release the device in time due to the device software being still under development.

In terms of optics, Xiaomi Matisse will have a quad-camera setup.

There is also an option with a 108 MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor.

Xiaomi Rubens, on the other hand, has the model number 22041211AC and is likely to be reserved for the Chinese market. It may debut as the Redmi K50 Gaming Standard Edition with a rumored MediaTek Dimensity 7000 SoC. It will have a triple camera setup on the back with a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW3 camera. The device is months away from launch and is expected to debut in April 2022.
