Xiaomi has recently confirmed that it will be unveiling the much-hyped Xiaomi Mi 6 flagship smartphone on April 19. The Chinese firm is still a couple of days away from the launch of Xiaomi Mi 6 and the rumor mill is already brewing up with fresh information on the next generation Mi Note series phablet.

An anonymous Chinese source has revealed that the upcoming Mi Note 3 will be packed with lethal specifications. The most powerful smartphone chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 835 is rumored to fuel the phablet with a mammoth 8 GB RAM. It is expected to be available in native storage options such as 128 GB and 256 GB.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 features a dual edge curved screen that measures 5.7 inches. Its successor is also expected to arrive with a same sized display. Like the Mi Note 2, its next generation model is pegged to be equipped with a identical battery of 4,070 mAh capacity.

Even though the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is one of the most impressive smartphones from the company, there is no fresh information available on its market performance. The reason behind it is that the Mi Note 2 has reportedly encountered production issues.

Just as Samsung faced production problems with its first dual-edge curved phones, Xiaomi too is allegedly facing a similar issue with the production of dual-edge screens for Mi Note 2. However, the company seems to be well prepared in improving the production of curved displays for the Mi Note 3.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 3 is rumored to get unveiled in the second quarter of this year.  However, this piece of information cannot be confirmed as the company has not followed a consistent refresh cycle for the Mi Note series phones. The Mi Note and Mi Note Pro phones were unveiled in January 2015. The Mi Note 2 arrived in October 2016. If Xiaomi has improved the building process for Mi Note 3, it may consider canning the Mi Note 2 to launch a successor phone with killer specs quickly.

A few months back, Hugo Barra had hinted that Xiaomi was planning to enter the US market. However at that time, he didn’t give out any time frame for a launch in the country.

Now, Xiaomi’s president Lin Bin revealed while talking at the WSJDLive Show that the company may enter the US market with its Mi Note and Mi Note Pro range of smartphones. However, once again he failed to give out an exact time frame for the launch.

Getting into an established market like US won’t be easy. First of all, companies like Apple and Samsung already have a huge chunk of market share in the country and even with its aggressive pricing, it will be quite hard for Xiaomi to gain some momentum in the market. Moreover, there’s another big issue that the company may face — Patent Licensing. Xiaomi had faced this problem when it first entered the Indian market when Ericsson sued the company for not licensing their wireless patents for phones sold in the country. Xiaomi could face the same problem in US, which is why it will first have to strengthen its patent portfolio before it makes the jump into the US market.

Xiaomi has released a lot of quality products in the past few years and once it enters US, customers will have yet another choice when buying a smartphone that won’t empty their pockets. Moreover, it also has a wide range of products under its belt like the Mi TV, Ninebot self-balancing scooter, Air Purifier etc which could be potentially sold in the country.

Anyways, we will keep you guys updated with more information pretty soon. So stay tuned.

Xiaomi Mi Note is the flagship device from Xiaomi and is also one of the best devices one can buy. It has a metal frame and 3D curved glass on both of its sides. The Xiaomi Mi Note packs a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.5 GHz, and backed by the Adreno 330 GPU and 3 GB of RAM. Apart from the amount of RAM, this processing package may seem a little dated given the advances in the last year, but it is still more than capable of easily handling intensive tasks.
