Supposed Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 backpanel pics, specs, possible price leak

3 weeks ago, we heard about a new Xiaomi handset in the makings – one that is supposedly going to go up against Meizu's latest offering and AnTuTu champion – the MX4. The rumor suggested that the device will be equipped with the same MT6595 SoC as the MX4, only paired with the more generous 3 GB of RAM, and sporting a bit of a larger 5.5" screen. These specs led to the speculation that this new Xiaomi may be the next Redmi Note model.

Today, we see another leak, claiming to show us the back panel of the yet unannounced Redmi Note 2, and citing different hardware specs. This leads us to believe that either one of the rumors is wrong, or we are talking about two completely different phones.

So, the newest whispers about the Redmi Note 2 claim that it will have a 5.5" screen, a 64-bit Snapdragon 615 SoC, 2 GB of RAM and a 13 MP main camera. The leaked back panel measures at 6.26" x 3.23" (159 x 82 mm), while the positioning and shape of the camera and flash cutouts show a different design language than Xiaomi's current-gen devices.

Lastly, the rumor claimed that the price for the device would be around $244. This affordable powerhouse definitely has our attention now. What do you make of all these whispers?
