Xiaomi has confirmed that a special edition of the Mi Note smartphone will be launching on Tuesday.
Lin Bin, Co-Founder and President of Xiaomi, in a Weibo post confirmed the launch. Bin in his post also compared the Xiaomi Mi Note with the iPhone 6 Plus.
In his Weibo post, Bin said (translated by Bing), "Mi Note, two-sided curved glass, much lighter and thinner than iPhone 6 Plus a larger screen, giving everyone the first feeling is amazing. Tomorrow, we will publish a special edition that looks better Mi Note. Imagine?" The post (via GSMArena) was accompanied by an image that showed the Mi Note with the date March 17 on its lock screen.
At the moment, not many details about the special edition of the Mi Note phablet are known, but based on Bin's remarks, we can expect it to feature a slightly different design.
