With the ‘Pro’ name attached to this leak, we are guessing the specs are for the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Pro, due to launch with 2 other variants later this summer.
Rumours of a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 have been hotting up over the weeks with Chinese media sources now firmly believing that there will be at least 3 versions of the phone. A base model with powerful specs and more ‘traditional’ design, a mid ranger with dual cameras, and a ‘Pro’ model with curved display.
Rumours have now been followed up with a rather detailed leak that claims to piece together the Xiaomi Mi Note 2’s full specifications:
Gizchina News of the week
The image above stated that the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Pro will feature a 5.5-inch FHD OLED display, Snapdragon 821 chipset, between 4-6GB RAM, 64-128GB internal memory, 3700mAh battery and front facing fingerprint scanner. The other detail is the rear camera which is labelled as a 12 mega-pixel Sony IMX260 sensor with 4 axis OIS, we assume this is the same low-profile OIS design as the current Xiaomi Mi5.
As usual Xiaomi have been very quiet about the upcoming phone, and haven’t officially mentioned the existence of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, or even the rumoured flagship Redmi device leaked earlier or the possibility of an Mi5s.
What do you think of these specs? Are you impressed or do you want a little more than just high end specs from your smartphones these days?
Bring it on!
That’ll be a top phone with a fairly top price too 🙁
Take my money, should be the best phone of the year with that specs and maybe exynos variant as well.
LOL
I’d be shocked to see a Exnyos variant. Xiaomi uses Qualcomm for their Mi line, part of that is Qualcomm is an investor in Xiaomi.
sounds nice indeed but why the just use F2.0 camera aperture….i want F1,8 at minimum
It depends on how the camera works as a whole not anyone spec. Bigger aperture (lower f number) can help or it might have minimal effect.
Should be a very good competitor to the forthcoming HTC Nexus “Marlin”, if specs are anything to go by.
So they don’t provide a flagship specs 5.7″ device? They go down from 5.7″ 2K to 5.5″ FHD for a device labeled “note”? That’s a real bummer for me!
I own the Mi Note Pro 5.7″ with a 2K screen and only a 3000mAh battery. The battery life is awful and the device gets over 75°C when using the app Bigo (Live vide streaming) for more than 5min.
The only thing I request is a device with 5.7-6.0″, 2K screen and more than 3500mAh which doesn’t use the mid range SD65x… Currently there is none.
I am using the Snapdragon 650 and its FAST! Not a single lag or slowdown. seamless multitasking. This coming from a Note 4.
Well, the slower Cat 7 modem, the missing 4K HVEC encoding feature and don’t tell me it’s equally fast. It simply isn’t. Loading the same app on an SoC with LPDDR3 takes significantly longer and uses more energy. Face recognition algorithms and HEVC encoding lag differs in seconds between LPDDR3 and 4. Even my Mi Note Pro has 4GB LPDDR4 Ram. That’s why I say, it’s not worth in my case to upgrade from a 1.5 year old phone with better specs to one with lower specs. I stay on my Mi Note Pro and hope one manufacturer will release a 6″ with 2K screen and at least an equal SoC.
Buy Galaxy Note 7 and sell your Xiaomi.
I get what you’re saying. I was using Samsung exclusively since S3. I had Note 4. I bought the Redmi Note 3 just for fun, cause it was cheap and wanted to see why it was so famous. AND….I realised, its actually runnig a bit smoother than my Note 4(On latest Marshmellow!) The music sounds equally good. Games play BETTER! And multi tasks like king. Of course its not perfect. So I have sold my Note 4 (before the resale value goes dump) and am very happy with this Note 3 (Camera not so).
Part of that terrible battery life is that 2k display you want so badly. Especially the 2k LCD panels Xiaomi used. That coupled with a SD810 is the culprit.
Producing an average temperature of 70°C while browsing Facebook needs more battery than lighting up those Pixels. The battery stats are telling me the same.
And that’s where the SD810 comes into play, it is notorious for overheating and be resource intensive.
Actually it seems to me that the LCD screens produce quite a lot of heat too so ….
Shame about the FHD instead of 2K, mainly because the S821 is a beautiful beast but I figure that most people wouldn’t spot the difference on a 5.5 inch screen..On the plus side battery life will be a dream come true, same great build we’ve come to expect and love from Xiaomi, MIUI 8’s better ram management and frequent updates should ensure an overall great experience…
That is pretty silly when the 3000mah battery in my Mi4c is only adequate for a small 5 inch device.
5.0-5.2 would have been a better choice for me, but 5.5 is still okay. Sounds nice and with 128GB ROM at least I don’t need TF card support. As long as it is Dual SIM we’re all good.
5.0-5.2 wouldn’t be a “Note” phone. It would also be too close of a competitor for the Mi5. Actually 5.5″ is small for a Note phone should be at least 5.7″.
this has so much truth in it, ive discovered the lies within myself
That may be true for the marketing concept they are aiming for, but I was only talking about my own preference. 😉
the rumoured flagship Redmi device ?
thought “Redmi” was the budget line of product while “Mi” was the flagship one…
Is there anything else to go by other than Specs and design ??? ?????
f/2.0 sucks.
Maybe, maybe not depends on the overall camera setup.
dual cam setting on Huawei P9 uses f/2.0 lenses, S7 has a f/2.0 lense too, both this phones do great job with low light shots… dunno if we can really say f/1.8 always brighter than f/2.0, and all f/2.0 lenses are equally bright.
On professionnal websites about lenses, no one compare lenses using this property. Often this property isn’t mentioned as is, so I’m beginning to think it’s not totally relevant ^^
5,7 inch would be much better…
chinese piece of shit. The commies have a backdoor into your phone, and mark my words they will use it to wage electronic warfare.
LOL… Another noob that thinks the US are our friends…. Idiot.
I really hope they do and we live to see the end of that shit regime.
You come onto a website dedicated to Chinese phones to complain about Chinese phones?
Looks like a troll. or Mc Carthy’s grandson.
dual cams ?!
for oled to rich 500 nits thats incredible not very much can do this,
