Xiaomi’s next Mi Note 2 to feature 3D Touch


Long before the launch of the Xiaomi Mi 5, there were rumors saying that it was going to support pressure sensitive touch, a technology similar to 3D Touch on iPhones. The rumours back then turned out to be false.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 3D Touch leaks

Today, MIUI forum users have discovered the 3D Touch functionality in the system package, the feature was currently hidden but it didn’t stop users from finding it with a simple search.

As we can see from the image below, the feature isn’t actually supported on the device it was tested on and we wouldn’t expect otherwise.

Xiaomi 3D Touch

What we can assume from this leak is that the next Xiaomi’s flagship will sport 3D Touch technology. We’re still unaware if it’ll be the on Mi Note 2 or Mi5S. Or maybe both?

Nevertheless, Xiaomi will announce yet another smartphone in September — Mi Note 2, most likely — so we won’t have to wait long.

    please please please dear chairman Lei Jun, bless us with a Mi Note 2 Pro having at least 4000mAh, and a screen between 5.7″ – 6.4″ and at least 2K resolution.

    Waiting to see the Mi5s, maybe with a dual camera (or a better one) and at least 4gb of ram… I dont care about 3D touch, not now, it’s not all that useful right now.

    And I have a question, you guys recommend the mi 5 ceramic edition (or the 64gb version)? I have the LG G4 but I want somenthing between 5 and 5.2 pol and light in weight (and a good battery since LG G4 is giving me a hard time)

      Yes, it looks a lot like the Note 7, but, if it’ll have the same or better specs and good build quality, while costing half the price, then I don’t see why this is something negative.

      Same over here. It should be an amazing phone, even if it looks a lot like a Note 7.
