Looks like Xiaomi Mobile is all set to release its most expensive phone to date come 25 October. Amidst the many leaks that have been doing the rounds of the internet, yet another leak hints at its price point. According to AndroidPure, the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 could be sold at CNY 5699 which is approximately Rs 57,000, thereby making it the most expensive Xiaomi phone ever.

That might be justified, however, given what you're getting with the Mi Note 2. As the purported leaked renders above and below show, this phone is going to feature a curved touchscreen reminiscent of Samsung's "edge" devices. A dual rear camera setup may be in too, along with a metal frame that separates the curved glass on both the front and the back of the handset. All in all, a premium design for a premium price.

XiaomiDevice suggests that specifications aside, there will also be two variants of the phone with different designs. Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Pro will feature a 5.7-inch, curved, dual-edge screen with a resolution of 2K (2560×1440) and the other with a 5.15-inch Full HD screen. XiaomiDevice also suggests that one of these variants will have a 12MP rear camera and that no dual-camera is planned.

The Mi Note 2 is already under mass production, and Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun recently hinted that the smartphone will ‘come with a surprise’. Now there’s no word on what that surprise exactly is, and all we can do at the moment is wait for the launch event on October 25. While the talk is about the Mi Note 2 being the most expensive device in Xiaomi’s lineup, the starting price is expected to be around RMB 4,000, which is approximately Rs 39,800.
