It is already confirmed that Xiaomi will debut its newest flagship at a press event next week. However, prior to the scheduled Oct. 25 launch, supposed leaks reportedly confirmed the specs and features for the Mi Note 2.

According to Android Pure, a supposed slide presentation has been leaked in China-based social media site Weibo. The document is reportedly likely the one that is going to be used in the upcoming Xiaomi press launch on Oct. 25, as it lists the specs for the new Mi Note 2. If the supposed leaked slide is to be believed, the Mi Note 2 will come out with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 2K resolution. In addition, it is supposedly confirmed that the screen will come with 3D Touch, confirming earlier rumors that Xiaomi will feature a pressure-sensitive display for the Mi Note 2.

Aside from the display specs, the slide also "confirms" that the Mi Note 2 will come out with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under glass, much like the scanners featured in the recently-released Mi 5s and Mi 5s Plus. Meanwhile, the presentation also touches on the supposed dual camera feature of the Mi Note 2's main camera, listing that the rear camera setup is composed of two Sony sensors, the main one, a 23-MP IMX318, and the other one, a 12-MP IMX378. It is unclear if the dual cam will be set up horizontally, as there are rumors that Xiaomi will feature a vertical arrangement for the Mi Note 2.

The rest of the specs are also highlighted on the supposed leaked slide. According to the document, the Mi Note 2 will come out with a Snapdragon 821 processor. There will be two variants, with the base model having 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of onboard storage, while a step-up version will feature 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage.
