Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Could Release Next Month

Xiaomi Mi Note 2, the successor to Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, is expected to arrive next month. The tentative date for the release is 5th November. Since Note Pro never made it to Indian markets, we can only hope for Mi Note 2 to release here.

If sources are to be believed, the phablet is expected to have top drawer specs which include a 5.7 inch display with 1440 x 2560 resolution. A 4 GB RAM accompanies a 32 GB internal memory, along with 16 MP camera and pre-installed Android 6.0. However, since November 5th is too early for a Snapdragon 820 chipset, if Xiaomi goes ahead with the launch, 2016 would perhaps bring with it another version of Mi Note 2 with an updated chipset.
