It turns out that rumours around the flexible display were true. However, unlike what some rumours may have suggested, you will still not be able to bend the display at home. We're still a few years away from that.

Mi Note 2 Global Edition

Coming back, the Mi Note 2 has a Global variant which supports a total of 22 LTE bands. The Mi Note 2 definitely has a very Samsung Galaxy Note7 aura about it, but Xiaomi will hope it doesn't have the same fate.

Here's the list of the 37 bands it'll support:

GSM: 2/3/5/8
CDMA 1X: 0/1/10/15
WCDMA: 1/2/4/5/8
TD-SCDMA: 34/39
LTE-TDD: 38/39/40/41
LTE-FDD: 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30

There's no clarity on what this exactly means; the Global Edition is probably what'll debut in the few other markets where Xiaomi directly operates besides China. Other than that, you can expect hoarders and resellers to have plenty stock of the Mi Note 2 Global Edition.
