Lei Jun confirm: Xiaomi Mi Note 2 release in mid-November

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has definitely been one of the most leaked smartphones in the last couple of months. Xiaomi’s upcoming flagship phablet has been popping up all over the place, and the company had opted to introduce the Xiaomi Mi 5s and Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus flagships handsets before they announce the Mi Note 2. These two handsets were introduced at the end of last month, and the Mi Note 2 is expected to land in October or November, at least if the latest report is to be believed.

However, a new leak that has been spreading on the Internet has sparked off huge rumours, which sees a real dual-camera setup implemented by the manufacturer. Such a feat isn't new for this year, given that the new CaseMe iPhone 7 Plus has been released with a dual-rear camera setup for the Plus version. Indeed, the leaked image showed that the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will carry a dual-rear camera as well.

Various leaks suggest that the phone will have flagship hardware. Mi Note 2 is expected to toss in a Snapdragon 821 SoC (the same one that’s on the Google Pixel) and an option of either 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage and 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage. We’re also expecting to see an 8MP front camera and 13MP rear camera.

The 5.15-inch variant of the Mi Note 2 seems quite unlikely, Xiaomi had already introduced two high-end 5.15-inch devices this year, the Xiaomi Mi 5 and Mi 5s, while the latter one landed quite recently. Now, as far as the other, Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Pro variant is concerned, you can expect it to sport a 5.7-inch display.
