Coming soon: Xiaomi Mi Note 2 ‘Flat Glass’ Edition!


Xiaomi have already had quite a busy year with numerous product launches. It’s almost come to a point where it’s hard to remember each of the devices! To add to it, a new variant of the recently-launched Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will come soon.

As you might already know, the Mi Note 2, akin to the ill-fated Galaxy Note7, comes with rounded edges on the back and front. Which might not be to everyone’s taste, and because Xiaomi doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned, there’s going to be a flat glass version of the phone.

This phone — we’re calling it the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 flat glass edition — was just spotted on China’s TENAA. This means it’ll very soon be on the market! It’ll come with the same specs as the Mi Note 2, which means it’ll still be a powerhouse with the SD821 SoC and 6GB RAM. Worth noting is that this phone was only spotted in a single variant (of 6GB RAM). Which means there probably wont be a cheaper 4GB RAM version.

The phone should go official in the coming days. To stay on top of that, stay tuned to smartphone news on GizChina!

    No, this phone is called Mi 5s Plus. Nearly as same.

    So what’s the point of a flat mi note? Wasn’t there the mi5s plus already?

      I can give you one reason apart from other slight differences between Note 2 and 5s Plus, which is important for me: black color.

        Damn right dude! That’s something I’m starting to hope for less and less… Maybe iPhone 8 will make black a regular colour once again, but for the next 2 years we should get used to see a f*cking black as a “premium” colour… So damn frustrating!

    Maybe xiaomi can’t produce the curved screen version in great numbers and now releases this as an alternative.
    The same thing as with mi mix probably , curved mi note 2 was just a way to get attention from tech news sites and blogs around the world.
