Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, Mi 5 & Smartwatch Set to Debut on Nov. 24?
Xiaomi is on the rise with a good reputation built on well-made handsets for a reasonable price tag. Now, the company is gearing up for another big reveal. The upcoming Xiaomi event on Nov. 24 will likely introduce the group's biggest lineup yet with impressive devices including a new phablet, smartphone and even a smartwatch in its arsenal.
According to a report from Phone Arena, a teaser image on Xiaomi's official Weibo page revealed that the device previously known as the Redmi Note 2 Pro will debut as the Redmi Note 3 instead. This new smartphone is a high-end upgrade with a metal makeover and a fingerprint sensor, as well as a thinner body.
Aside from the name change and a few updates, the specs of the next-generation Redmi Note will be very similar to its predecessor Redmi Note 2 including a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution, the MediaTek MT6795 chipset, 2GB/3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 13-megpapixel rear camera, a five-megapixel selfie camera and a 3,060 mAh battery cell.
Meanwhile, the company's flagship phone is also due for an upgrade and is also tipped to be launched during the event. The Xiaomi Mi 5 has recently been certified by China's regulators just in time for the event, a report from Tech Times revealed. The smartphone is expected to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, which is said to begin shipment in early 2016. Other significant features of the Mi 5 include a five-inch screen and the latest Android Marshmallow.
A new innovation is also geared to make its debut at the event: a Xiaomi wearable, the company's first. The Chinese company already has two Mi Band models, so the next step is to join the game for the next big smartwatch. According to a separate report from Tech Times, it was trusted tipster Leaksfly that dropped the information on Weibo, but no other details were revealed. It's also still unknown if the purported smartwatch will run on Android Wear or Xiaomi's own MIUI.
Finally, the Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 is also confirmed to drop during the November event, according to a report from Android Authority. Not much has been revealed about the much-awaited tablet that's joining the Xiaomi roster, but it will reportedly sport a 2.24GHz Intel X5-Z8500 SOC along with Xiaomi's MIUI on top of Android.
So far, those are the devices set to be part of the Xiaomi: Redmi Note 3, Mi 5, Mi Watch and Mi Pad 2. Which one are you most excited to see?
