Several reports have suggested that the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 will have a metal body, a fingerprint sensor, a Force Touch support, a 5.7-inch 2K dual curved display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, and an Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system. It is also expected to feature a 64/128GB internal memory, a 4/6GB RAM, a 12MP dual camera, and a 3,600mAh battery with Quick Charge technology.
