Xiaomi Mi Note 2 rumours – What to expect from Mi Note 2

All we know for sure so far is that the Mi Note 2 is “curved to impress” with a “two-sided dual curves”. It will also run MIUI 8.0, a customised version of Android Marshmallow. (View the MIUI 8.0 video below.)

Oppomart is already listing a Mi Note 2 on its site at $ 499. It offers the following specification, which may or may not be correct though there is little here that would surprise us:

• 5.7 in the LG-made dual curved screen, 2560×1440 (Quad HD) display
• 2.35 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor
• 4GB/6GB LPDDR4 RAM
• 64GB/128GB/256GB UFS 2.0 storage
• Dual 16Mp Sony OIS rear camera, 16Mp front camera
• Support global 37 bands (GSM/WCDMA/LTE-FDD) network
• Dual-SIM dual-standby
• MIUI 8 base on Android 6.0 OS
• 4100mAh battery

The listing suggests the Mi Note 2 runs bands 3, 7 and 20 which, if true, will make it the first Xiaomi phone compatible with all 4G networks in the UK. Usually O2 and GiffGaff are left out in the cold.
