According to the Xiaomi Roadmap 2015, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is supposed to be released on July 15, 2015, which is one more month to go. However, some leaked photos of Redmi Note 2 appearance have been shown on the internet recently. Looking the pictures, we know that the handset is going to be made of METAL.

Some previous news sources have confirmed that Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 should be a 5.5-inch device with a 1080p display, powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor. There are built-in 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. Apart from that, a 5MP front camera and a 13MP rear cam will support Redmi Note 2’s ability of taking photos. The whole phone is run by a 3,100mAh battery.

However, some other sources said that Xiaomi is also developing a MediaTek MT6795 machine as a part of the Redmi series. This phone will be priced at less than 1499 Yuan (so Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 price in Malaysia can be around RM888).

 

So, with a metal frame, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is likely to draw a lot of attention from consumers preferring this material. In terms of specs, basically Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 will feature Snapdragon 615 or MT6795 (this is still not officially claimed), 2 GB RAM, 16GB ROM, a combo of 13MP back and 5MP front cam, and a 3,100mAh battery. If this is the case, Redmi Note 2 seems to be a redoubtable competitor to its peer, perhaps a Meizu smartphone.
