Earlier this week, Xiaomi confirmed that on August 13 it will present the new version of its custom layer for Android, MIUI 7. Then began speculation about which device will be responsible for releasing the software. Most opinions bet on the Xiaomi Mi 5, the company's flagship was ideal for MIUI 7 to have a great impact from day 1, but finally it will be the Redmi Notes 2, second generation of the economic phablet of the firm that has revealed the information to us, we believe that by mistake.
Various options had been explored, especially the Xiaomi Mi 5 as we explained and the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 tablet. There was a third alternative that was precisely this Redmi Note 2, but for which few would have bet. The reasons are obvious, even though the first generation was very successful, and even Xiaomi released a review of the terminal with 4G connectivity Given the great demand from consumers, it is not one of the firm's star products, although its choice is not taken lightly and it could make sense.
With the Redmi Note 2 Xiaomi could offer a contrast to Samsung, which will also present its Galaxy S6 Edge Plus and Galaxy Note 5 phablets in the coming days. Show that not everything is 600-700 euro devices and that you don't have to spend that money to have a good terminal. And it is that we pointed it at the beginning, it has been the company itself which has revealed that the Redmi Note 2 will be the chosen device for next Thursday, and it has not done it directly, but they have posted their specifications and price in the official online store.
Specifications
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 will have a screen of 5,5 inches with Full HD resolution (1.920 x 1.080 pixels), although the size was already known from previous leaks, the best omens about the resolution are now confirmed. We also knew already and now in an "official" way that the processor will mount MediaTek M6795, an Octa-Core that works at frequencies of 2 GHz and will be accompanied by a 2 GB RAM and 16 or 32 GB of internal storage almost certainly expandable with microSD cards, although this is still up in the air.
Regarding the rest of the characteristics, highlight the 13 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel secondary camera, usual figures of the high range that as soon as Xiaomi's software goes well (and we do not doubt that it will) they will offer more than worthy results for a terminal that by price would correspond to the low range. Your battery will have 3.020 mAh capacity and will run Android 5.1 Custom Lollipop with MIUI 7. From previous news we also know that its dimensions will be 152,05 × 76.2 × 8.05 millimeters.
Price and Availability
The terminal will be presented if everything goes as expected next Thursday, August 13, and will go on sale in China a few days later. In Europe we will have to wait a little longer for import companies to bring it. Its price will be 105 euros for the 16 GB version and 117 euros for the 32 GB version (applying the current yen exchange). Even if it goes up a bit when you buy it from the West, it will still be one of the best purchases you can make and one of the best, if not the best, phablet in terms of value for money.
