Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro teaser image shows attractive metal device, as sketchy hands-on photos leak of unannounced phone

Having recently variety of colored plastics…

Xiaomi’s metal finish means the Xiaomi launched back in August.

As well as this ‘official’ teaser, there are some hands-on images doing the rounds which some are suggesting is the same device. But very clearly, this isn’t the case.

Below, you’ll see the image teased by Xiaomi’s co-founder on Weibo, and there are a couple of things to notice. Firstly: The rounded edges on the sides and on the top. Secondly: The shape of the dual LED flash beneath the camera. Thirdly: The camera itself.

If you compare all these elements to the supposed leaked images of the Redmi Note 2 Pro which leaked on Chinese social media, you’ll see that either a) The leaked hands-on photos are not the Redmi Note 2 Pro, or b) Xiaomi’s taking liberties with its press renders. Given the evidence, it’s plausible that Xiaomi has two new metal phones to show us later this month.
