Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, announces on his Weibo account that the top-end version of the Mi Note will be up for pre-order this May 6, 2015. It will have a CNY3299 price tag (approx. Php23K) which is a bit steep for a Xiaomi product, but taking a look at the internals that it would be carrying might be able to justify it.
