Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi Note 2 are rumoured to be the first devices to launch with the Snapdragon 821 SoC. Not only this, but the devices share similar specs and features according to the rumours on the interweb.

Earlier today, reports from Chinese websites pointed to a possibility of the Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi Note 2, the next in their respective series offerings by Xiaomi, would come packaged with impressive specs. If the rumours are to be believed, the Mi Note 2 would be launched in up to 3 variants, while there is little known with regards to the Mi5S.

Both the devices are reportedly using a similar pressure sensitive display, Qualcomm’s Ultrasonic fingerprint technology, up to 8GB of RAM, dual cameras, HiFi audio and fast charging. That might seem like a mouthful, but it is an impressive spec-list that has been rumoured.

There is one slight difference however, the dual camera set-up would only be applicable to the Xiaomi Note 2’s higher end variants, with the basic model being manufactured with a single rear camera. The rumours further describe the Mi Note 2 as having a 3D curved display, not dissimilar to those on the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and older S6 edge devices, but there is no confirmation as to whether this display is available for all 3 variants of the device.

Once again, these are rumours with no evidence to back up their claims and we have to wait and watch how true it all is. At the end of the day, if Xiaomi does make true on these specs, it would be a solid move by the Chinese OEM, if not, well, one can sure dream.

Let us know, in the comments, to what degree you believe the rumours to be true, if at all they are.
