In yet another leak of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Note 2, images of the device have surfaced on the Chinese social networking website Weibo. The leaked images are purportedly slides from a Xiaomi presentation and reveal the specifications and pricing of the new smartphone. According to the slides, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will have a LG 5.7 inch 2K Super AMOLED display with 3D touch. Separately, another image of the Mi Note 2 has surfaced on Weibo that shows the dual-curved edge screen on the front of the phone.
The leaked slides reveal that there will be two variants of the smartphone; one variant may sport 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage while the other will have 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage. Both variants will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC mated to an Adreno 530 GPU.
The Mi Note 2 is expected to sport a dual camera setup with sensors from Sony; a 23MP IMX318 and a 12MP IMX378. There will also be an 8MP front camera. Mi Note 2 might have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under glass, similar to the Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus, with support for Xiaomi Pay and NFC along with an IRIS scanner, though details about the scanner are missing.
There will also be a 4100 mAh battery supporting Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 and a USB C type port instead of a micro USB port.
According to the slides the Mi Note 2 with 4GB RAM variant will be priced at CNY 2799 (approximately Rs. 27,697) while the 6GB RAM variant will cost CNY 2999 (approximatelyRs. 29,676). This contradicts earlier leaks which suggested that the smartphone will cost CNY 5699 (Rs. 56,395 approx).
Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun had earlier stated that the Mi Note 2 would come as a surprise. So we will have to wait for the launch on October 25 for the final word on the new smartphone.
