14 DAY TRIAL // Great news for Xiaomi fans anxious to get their hands on the company's next Redmi Note smartphone, as CEO Lei Jun confirmed the device would be officially unveiled on June 29.
It's unclear whether or not the smartphone will go on sale on the same day, but according to a new report Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun stated on its Weibo account that the successor of the Redmi Note would be launched on June 29.
Since there are only a couple of days remaining until the alleged launch of the Redmi Note 2, it's worth noting that the Chinese company is also expected to reveal its flagship smartphone, the Mi5, later this year.
Until then though, Xiaomi will launch one or more mid-range Android smartphones, including the Redmi Note 2 which, judging by the rumored specs, looks more like a high-end device.
For those out of the loop, here is a quick recap of all the specs of the Redmi Note 2 that got confirmed by the “rumor mill.”
A powerful processor complemented by a no-less-impressive camera
First of all, the smartphone will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system with MIUI 6.0 on top. As the name suggests, the Redmi Note 2 will come with a large 5.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution.
On the inside, the upcoming phablet is expected to pack a powerful 64-bit octa-core MediaTek Helio X10 processor. The phone is also said to feature a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, as well as secondary 5-megapixel camera in the front.
Other highlights of Redmi Note 2 include 4G LTE support, as well as 3,000 mAh battery. While Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is expected to be initially unveiled in China, it will definitely be released in India and other countries around the world.
