Xiaomi Mi Note 2 might come with a Snapdragon 823 SoC, 3D touch
Nearly two weeks after first getting wind of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, rumor mills have started churning out speculation about it again. This time around, a new report suggests that the handset will be equipped with the as-yet unreleased Snapdragon 823 processor and even sport 3D Touch.
To recall, the last set of rumors regarding the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 had claimed that the device is going for a Samsung-produced dual-curved AMOLED display. A Weibo user has now revealed that the screen will measure 5.7-inch, feature a 2K resolution and 3D Touch technology. The leakster also claims that there will be more than one variant of the phone for sale.
One version of the Mi Note 2 is set to pack a Snapdragon 820 SoC, while another will carry a Snapdragon 823 CPU. The latter notably hasn’t been made official yet, although a Chinese analyst did make note of it some time ago, claiming it would provide higher clock speeds within the same baseband as its sibling.
Other specs being thrown around are a 32GB, 64GB or a whopping 256GB of ROM and 4GB or 6GB of RAM. There’s also a chance a 3600mAh battery might way its way inside the Xiaomi handset, complete with 18W Quick Charging abilities. The cherry on top is a 16MP rear camera blessed with a Sony IMX295 sensor and OIS, in addition to a 5MP selfie snapper.
As for its cost, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is apparently priced at 2999 Yuan (approx $460 or Rs 31000). As always, keep in mind that these rumors should be taken with a pinch of salt. Stay tuned for more on the handset as and when more details spring forward.
