UPDATE: So, initially we thought this was the Redmi Note 2 Pro, however there are a few subtle differences in design. So, it could be a different model like Redmi 3 or Redmi 2S or Redmi 2 Pro!. We can’t be sure of that at the moment. So, better wait for the official release.

Meanwhile, you can expect to meet the device shown in the images down below on November 24 in any of the above mentioned names. Our best guess would be the name Redmi 2 Pro.

The launch is just a few days away, till then, relish the high quality pictures of the device that we have added down below.

Yesterday Xiaomi’s President Lin Bin had teased a gold colored version of Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro smartphone. But for those who were looking for more, today, we have come across some high-quality images of the upcoming Note 2 Pro handset  Redmi 3 or Redmi 2 Pro handset.

The phone comes in an all metal design in beautiful gold color. Unlike usual leaks, which are of low quality, these images are of extremely good quality, which means we now know how good the device looks in real life. The gold color in particular gives it a premium look on its all metal body.

The phone’s design is similar to the one we saw on TENAA a few days back. But there are a few differences which could mean that this is a different device. For example, there’s only single LED flash, also it sports a camera sensor with a ring around it, both of which were not found on the TENAA images of the Note 2 Pro. But there’s a fingerprint sensor below it like the previous leak. On the right, there’s the power button and the volume button while on the left, you have the SIM card slot. At the bottom, on the right, there’s the traditional USB connector (unfortunately no USB Type-C) and on top, you get an headphone jack. We can see that there are microphone openings on both the top as well as the bottom.

Well, there’s no denying that the design seems to be inspired from the Meizu’s Blue Charm lineup. As for the specs, if this is a new device like the Redmi 2 Pro or the Redmi 3, we have very little information. If we had to guess, we could expect MT6752 and 2GB RAM on board, but lets wait for some official information.

So, what do you think? Is this the Redmi 3 or the Redmi 2 Pro?

November 24 isn’t very far off and now we know for sure that we will see at least one device at the event, i.e. the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro. After sending out event invites, the company has started teasing the device on its official Weibo page. The latest teaser hints that the phone is going to be thin.

The new teaser revealed by the company earlier today shows a digital caliper with three question marks on its display. This clearly hints that the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro is going to be thin. But the title of the post further reveals some possible features of the device. The title says that designing a phone is complex in the sense that adding a new feature means compromising on some other feature. 

So, what is Xiaomi trying to say with this picture? Well, my best guess would be that the battery on the Note 2 Pro is going to be large. Since we see a caliper in the image, the phone could come with a thin body with a large battery. So, how large? Well, we can’t be sure of that right now, but anywhere around 3000mAh on a thin body is considered quite impressive.

As for the other specs, it going to be the same as the Redmi Note 2. So, expect MT6795 Helio X10 chip with 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera, and 5.5-inch FHD display. Additionally, the Note 2 Pro variant will come with a fingerprint sensor at the back as seen on TENAA images as well as an all metal body in gold color as well.

Since Xiaomi has started releasing teasers for the device, expect more features to be revealed in the coming days before launch.

We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro version, mainly because it is rumored to be the first Xiaomi smartphone to feature fingerprint ID as well as all metal design. While until now, we had no concrete proof for these rumors (except for a leaked image), now thanks to a TENAA listing we can confirm these features.

According to the image that we spotted on TENAA, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro will come with the same design that we saw in the leaked image back in October. So, you have a smooth metal body at the back, along with a fingerprint sensor right below the rear camera. Between these two sensors, we can see dual LED flash as well.

The front features a traditional Xiaomi design with capactive buttons and a camera sensor right on top. The display is said to be a 5.5-inch panel with FHD resolution, same one as the Redmi Note 2.

The phone will feature the same specs as the Redmi Note 2, so it will sport the MT6795 Helio X10 under the hood clocked at 2.0GHz with 2GB RAM (3GB RAM version a possibility), 16GB storage, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front facing shooter and a 3060mAh battery. Given its metal design, the phone will measure 149.98 × 75.96 × 8.75 mm (slightly thicker than 8.25mm Note 2) and will weigh a bit more than the regular version at 165 grams. It will run on Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OS.

Since it features the same specs as the original version, the new Redmi Note 2 Pro is said to be priced at around 1099 Yuan which comes to just $172. Not a bad deal with MT6795, fingerprint ID and 2GB RAM on board.

We expect the phone to release pretty soon, so stay tuned to gizmochina in the coming days for more details.

For the past few months, Xiaomi has been busy announcing new smartphones both in domestic as well as international markets. The latest model from the company is none other than the Xiaomi Mi 4c, which is the domestic variant of the Xiaomi Mi 4i that was announced in India a few months back. But it looks like, there’s still a couple of handsets on the way this year, as a new leaked image gives us the first glimpse of what could be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro model.

This will be a slightly upgraded variant of the existing Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 model. The company will reportedly include an all metal design as well as a fingerprint sensor on the device to make it a bit more premium than the regular version. It is said that there will be a version without fingerprint ID as well, which will probably be cheaper.

The specs are expected to be the same as the Redmi Note 2. So, the phone will come with MT6795 Helio X10 chip with 2GB RAM, 16GB of storage, 5.5-inch FHD display, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front facing shooter and MIUI 7 based on Android 5.1.

Since the specs are going to be the same, you can expect the pricing of the device only be a bit higher, somewhere around 999 Yuan ($157). This model will actually makes sense now given that Meizu has already unveiled its all metal (crystal metal) smartphone called as the Meizu Metal, costing just 1099 Yuan ($173).

Well, we still don’t know the launch date of the device. But it may not be far off since the company is expected to release the Mi 5 flagship before the end of the year.
