A Xiaomi Mi Note 2 variant with a flat screen could be on its way

A flat display variant of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has appeared on Chinese telecommunications site TENAA, indicating that it could soon be released. Xiaomi’s Mi Note 2 was unveiled at the end of October with its curved display being one of its most notable features. The new device – which has model number 2015213 – also makes use of a flat glass rear but otherwise houses the same specs as the Mi Note 2.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 had its first flash sale on November 1 and reportedly sold out 50 seconds after it was made available to customers who pre-registered for a chance to purchase the handset. Today, Xiaomi said that it took one minute to sell out in its second flash sale.

Xiaomi’s decision to produce a flat screen variant may allow it to sell this phablet at a lower price point compared to the curved version but to find out for sure we’ll have to wait for the Chinese manufacturer to make an official announcement.

The Mi Note 2 will next be on sale on November 11. Check out our initial impressions of the handset in our hands-on Xiaomi Mi Note 2 review.
