Chinese tech company Xiaomi is ready to hit the market with another product following the successful launch of their two new phones: the 5s and the 5s. It’s reportedly rumoured that there will be a new phablet from the Chinese giants called the Mi Note 2, which is not subject to numerous leaks. The product was supposed to be announced back in September, but due to various reasons, the phone is now set for a November release.
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 Apple iPhone 7 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 – one that can be taken as a perfect Android counterpart to that released by the Cupertino tech giant.
As if the dual-rear camera wasn’t enough, Xiaomi curiously opted for a variant of black for its Mi Note 2 that closely resembles the “jet black” color Apple has introduced on their recent flagships, hence the sparking bar (a huge online debate as to whether Android device manufacturers are desperately try to imitate Apple in terms of features and physical attributes just for them to keep pace in the competition.
A closer look at the Xiaomi Mi Note 2′s spec sheet shows the following: (a 2K (QHD) screen resolution in a 5.7-inch display into a dual-curved screen – a feature arguably ripped off from both the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and the Galaxy Note 7. Nonetheless, the handset in question will be one of the veryfirst handsets to carry a Snapdragon 821 chipset, which Google equipped on their Pixel devices released just barely a week ago.
Along with a 8-megapixel front camera, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will have a 13-megapixel dual rear camera, but much has yet to be seen as to whether either of the dual-lenses will carry the same functionality of a secondary lens useful for panoramas or telephoto usage.
