Xiaomi Mi Note

Xiaomi Mi Note flagship phone launched

While everybody was expecting Xiaomi to launch the Mi 5 as well as the phablet Note 2 on its big day on January 15, it came as a shock when the Chinese smartphone maker launched only the Xiaomi Mi Note (that’s what they call it) at an event in Beijing, China. The new Mi Note has been described as ‘The most epic flagship phone of the year’ by the company.

Earlier there were rumours that Xiaomi may launch two products – the Mi 5 and the phablet Xiaomi Note 2. Breaking the speculation, Xiaomi has come up with its new smartphone, the Mi Note.

As for the specifications, the company announced at the live event that the Mi Note features a stunning 5.7” Sharp/JDI Full HD display and 3D curved Gorilla Glass 3 with metal frame. The new phablet includes an awesome 13 MP Sony IMX214 CMOS sensor with f/2.0 aperture, as well as OIC for low-light photos. It has an amazing front camera too; 4 MP with large 2-micron pixels. It also packs with 24-bit/192kHz Hi-Fi audio system, 3000mAh lithium-ion battery and Quick Charge 2.0.

The Mi Note has been priced at RMB 2299 (16GB) and RMB 2799 (64GB) and has the Dual 4G SIM + Dual Standby facility. The phone comes with a Snapdragon 801 processor and 3GB RAM.

The teaser video uploaded by Mi Facebook account and pictures of the event posted on the microblogging site also hinted that the Xiaomi is all set to launch the Note. Earlier Xiaomi created an event on its Facebook page three days ago with the hashtag #MiLaunch115 for its flagship launch on January 15 at 2 pm in Beijing. The event description reads: “Come join Mi for #MiLaunch115 as we unveil our new flagship device right here with live updates direct from the product launch event in Beijing.”

Mi5 Xiaomi

Mi5 Xiaomi is to lunch on 15th of these month 

Xiaomi, the phone maker that went from zero to hero in the span of just three years, becoming the world's fourth-largest handset manufacturer, is expected to unveil its new flagship, the  Xiaomi Mi5 and MI4 in less than a week,on 15th of these month.The handset is expected to run on Snapdragon 805 or Snapdragon 810, have a 5.2" Quad HD, and sport aluminum body with 140.89mm of height and 71.4mm of width, which would make it one of the more compact flagships out there.

As for the camera, the rumors were pointing to a 20- or a 16-megapixel unit with an 8-megapixel selfie cam, but a couple of leaked shots, allegedly from the Mi5, indicate that Xiaomi might retain the current 13 MP resolution. Another interesting speculation is that the Mi5 will be just 5MM , which would put it on equal footing with the thinnest phone out there, though we'd have to see this to believe it, since it will also mean the flagship will have to be equipped with a diminished battery capacity - not exactly a good idea if you will be flaunting a Quad HD panel.
