On Tuesday, we learned the launch date of the next Xiaomi Note device, thought to be the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, as June 29, and also saw a screenshot of the handset's home screen, all coming from the company CEO Lei Jun. However, the smartphone has now shown up in a leaked image on Twitter, revealing new features and a slight change in the design.
The purported image of the unannounced Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, showcasing the rear panel of the handset, was posted by tipster @leaksfly on Twitter on Tuesday. From the image, the highlight of the new smartphone seems to be the fingerprint sensor placed right below the camera, which is now circular instead of square, and the flash.
In line with the current Redmi Note smartphone design, the successor shown in the image would sport volume and phone lock buttons on the right side and a 3.5mm headphone jack on top. The difference however lies in the build material of the device. As per the leaked image, the Redmi Note 2 seems to sport a metal body along with two plastic strips placed on top and bottom, which are said to accommodate the antennas. The current Redmi Note features a plastic build.
