Beastly Xiaomi Mi Note Pro available for pre-orders priced at $480 USD; phablet ships next week

The most impressively spec'd phone in Xiaomi's line-up, the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, is now available for pre-orders in China priced at the equivalent of $480 USD. That is about $50 USD less than the price that was expected for the phablet. While Chinese consumers can reserve the handset starting today, the Mi Note Pro will actually ship starting on May 12th.

The Xiaomi Mi Note Pro features a 5.7-inch LCD screen with a 1440 x 2560 (QHD) resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 515ppi. Powering the phone is the Snapdragon 810 SoC with an octa-core 2.8GHz CPU and the Adreno 430 GPU handling graphics. 4GB of RAM is inside along with 64GB of non-expandable memory. A 13MP camera with OIS is on back with a 4MP front-facing camera available for selfies and video chats. Keeping the lights on is a 3000mAh battery, and Android 5.0 is pre-installed. The device supports LTE-Cat 9 which provides data speeds as fast as 450Mbps.

For $480 USD, the Xiaomi Mi Note Pro gives you a nice sized bang for the buck. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this will be the phone that Xiaomi will use to break into new markets in the U.S. and Europe.
