Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Picture Leaked Online; Features A Fingerprint Sensor

Xiaomi's upcoming budget smartphone Redmi Note 2 leaked online earlier today. The image was posted to Weibo so the quality of the picture might seem low for some. Image shows the back of the device that features a Fingerprint sensor along side with Rear camera module. We have been seeing the fingerprint sensors below the main camera nowadays, and this isn't a weird placement for a smartphone at all as many major tier one brands are now opting the same placement. 

Earlier rumour pointed towards a metal build but that turned out to be fake as the device looks to me made out of good quality plastic and we won't be complaining about it too much as the device falls in the budget segment. Back in June there was a rendered image which do match with the current picture and a rumor surfaced online that the device is going to be launched on 29th, June which in turn disappointed many Mi Fans. Based on the rumours the device sports 5.5-inches 1080p Display and is powered by MediaTek Octa-Core processor coupled with 2GB of Ram and 16GB internal storage and an SD card slot (probably). There is 13MP primary camera and 5MP front camera with 4G LTE connectivity.  Do note the image has been taken down within no time (xiaomi has requested to do so) but we made sure to save it for our readers. Share your thoughts about the device down below.

Xiaomi has come with MiBand which merely costed 1000 bucks and last xiaomi has announced that it had sold more than 6 million MiBands worldwide, but the only con with the Band is that it lacked touchscreen functionalities and made users make use of their smartphone for any activity, but Xiaomi is quick in realizing the problem and is readying MiBand 2 the band was first discovered in Weibo site and is being surfaced online since then. The interesting factor about the MiBand 2 is that it comes with Touchscreen, yes the Band comes with the only that was lacking in MiBand 1. 

If at all the image that rendered online turns out to be true you can now access the band solely by making use of the Touchscreen feature and also it should be obvious that the price of the MiBand 2 will also be higher than the Band 1. There is a report that suggest that MiBand 2 might feature a NFC chip allowing wearable devices nearby connect to each other. Since the MiBand 1 was launched last July internationally the timing would be right for the MiBand 2 and going by the image it looks like the Band might soon go official.
