Two new Xiaomi handsets are expected to become official before the end of this year, the latest reports on the matter suggest, with one of them being none other than the long rumored Xiaomi Mi3, supposedly set to be announced on August 16.

The handset is expected to land on shelves sometime in October with a 5.5-inch display and a metallic rear case, as gizchina notes in a recent post.

Before that, however, there might be another Xiaomi device set to become official, namely the Xiaomi MI2A, which is currently expected to be unveiled in May.

The smartphone is rumored to sport a 5-inch 1080p touchscreen display, yet nothing has been officially confirmed on the matter as of now.

Given the wide range of rumors on Xiaomi’s plans for the smartphone market, we could expect at least some of them to pan out.
