Rumored Xiaomi Mi Edge offers a curved edge on both sides of the screen

The unannounced Xiaomi Mi Edge is strictly a rumor at this point. With a curved edge on both sides of the handset, the phone supposedly resembles something like the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge or Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. Weibo tipster @KJuma and website MyDrivers.com have both been passing along rumored specs and images of what they expect inside and outside the Mi Edge, and it all starts with the 5.2-inch curved edged screen that wraps around both sides of the phone. With a 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution screen, the pixel density on the handset is a sharp 565ppi.

Based on the rumors, the Xiaomi Mi Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 808 chipset, which offers a hexa-core CPU and the Adreno 418 GPU. 3GB or 4GB of RAM is inside, and there is some speculation about a fingerprint scanner being placed on the unit. The phone is expected to come to market in October, priced at the equivalent of $391 USD.
 
This is a story that you should be taking with a grain of salt. While it isn't too far fetched to imagine a curved screen device undergoing testing at Xiaomi, nothing close to an official word about the model has been uttered from the phone manufacturer's camp at this point.
