Back in January Xiaomi announced the Mi Note, a rather fetching midrange smartphone, and let loose some details regarding its more powerful sibling: the Mi Note Pro. Today, we got more information and an official release date for the Pro.

The Mi Note Pro is pushing the envelop of high-end smartphones with all-singing all-dancing all-heating specs. It has a sunlight-optimized 5.7" QHD 2560x1440 display from Sharp that crams 515 pixels per inch, 4G of RAM, a 64GB eMMC 5.0 storage module, a 13MP camera with OIS, dual SIM slots with LTE Cat 9 support, and Qualcomm's feverishly maligned Snapdragon 810 processor. Everything is powered by a 3090mAh battery with Quick Charge 2.0.

Like the Mi Note, the Pro has the 3D inward curved Gorilla Glass on the front and back of the device, an aluminum frame, and 24-bit/192KHz lossless audio support thanks to the ESS ES9018K2M audio decoder. It runs Android under the MIUI 6 skin and should have Google's suite of services in most countries it ships in except China.

Back in January, the Mi Note Pro was said to cost ¥3299 ($532), but the price has now dropped to ¥2999 ($483). That's a very acceptable price for such a hot item. 810 digs aside, the phone will go on sale May 12th in China online and through Xiaomi's Mi Home outlets. For now there's no word on availability in other markets.
