Good news, team. According to this, there is sdcard support and it's hot-swappable. Looking better all the time.

Looks like a larger LG G2x..

I wouldn't rely on that site. The specs are different from the other sites. It's supposed to be BT 4, front camera 2MP.. etc

That's the lower-end 1s model from last year.
The new one we are talking about is the Xiaomi Phone 2

Would you look at that. Shame on me for not reading.

Looks miles better. Actually looks pretty impressive.

Apparently you can already pre order the thing, I have no idea how trsutworthy this site is but they have it for 500$ which is a pretty amazing price for the specs: http://android-sale.com/xiaomi-mi2.html

The specs are awesome. The side bezel is a bit ridiculous though.

I don't care about specs.
If this isn't fully supported by the developer/modding community, then it's useless.
I'm not ready to serve as a beta tester.

Good phone for the price/specs, but I won't come anywhere close to touching it based on that alone.

Specs are decent but looking closer at the phone it looks like cheaper plastic than even what samsung uses.

I'm not sure about now, but in the past xiaomi's whole 'thing' was that it ran MIUI, which is a developer-made alternative to stock in the vein of cyanogenmod.

Build quality assumptions, good or bad, are a bit premature at this point.

I've read that actually getting one for the $319 price is a dream even if your in China. They purposely release them in 100k batches that go very very quickly.

Great specs. But we (or at least me) have to look about the updates for this phone and the support it will have.

I wouldn't buy that. Something isn't right. They're selling it below cost, to do what, make it up in volume??? This is a Chinese product for the Chinese market. That should tell you all you need to know about the build quality and support for this crap device. I will wait for a top-tier manufacturer to put a S4 Pro chip in their phone.
