Although Xiaomi co-founder and CEO Lei Jun confirmed early in June that the company will unveil its upcoming phablet, the Redmi Note 2, on Monday, June 29, he did not reveal any feature of the upcoming device. Nevertheless, there are several reports on the purported specs and features of the phablet, which are presented below.

According to IB Times, the Chinese technology blog Mobile Dad reports that its sources have claimed that while Redmi Note 2 will keep the screen-size of its predecessor, the resolution of the device will be increased from HD (1,280x720p) to full HD (1,920x1,080p).

The original Redmi Note, which was released in 2014, came in two variants - a 3G model with Mediatek Octa-core CPU alongside Mali-450MP4, and a 4G variant that packed a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 series quad-core CPU(Chipset: MSM8928) paired with an Adreno 305 graphics engine.

According to latest reports, Xiaomi is will pack the Redmi Note 2 with Mediatek's most recent 64-bit class chipset Helio X10 Octa-core with 4G-LTE Modem. However, as of now, it is not clear if the company will also release a separate 3G variant. There are rumors that Xiaomi may launch a premium variant dubbded as Redmi Note 2 Pro. In case the rumors turn true, the purported device may house a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 series octa-core similar to the one in Xiaomi Mi 4i.

With a view to balance the power-hogging full HD display, Redmi Note 2 is expected to accommodate a 3,100 Plus mAh battery unit. The previous version, Redmi Note, houses a 3,100mAh battery unit.

In terms of software, Redmi Note 2 is likely to come with v5.0.2 or the latest v5.1 with MIUI skin out-of-the-box. While Xiaomi Mi 4i, which was launched in April, came with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, the 2014 Redmi Note model is yet to get Lollipop update.

In the camera front, the upcoming Xiaomi phablet is likely to boast a 13 megapixel rear camera together with Sony Exmor sensor and a 5 megapixel front-facing snapper for selfies.

Similar to its predecessor, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 will be a mid-range phablet and possibly come with a price tag of anything between ¥980 ($158) and ¥1272 ($205).

As of now, none of these specs or the price of the device can be said to be finalized, because Xiaomi is keeping mum on these aspects. Nevertheless, most of these features are likely to make a cut in the upcoming device.
