The drone does seem to have front and side obstacle avoidance sensors visible, which means the drone would have 360-degree sensing technology.
The Mavic Pro 2, based on the leaked photo, looks a bit sleeker than the Mavic Pro.
DroneDJ has published an image a (relatively) large folding drone bearing the name "Mavic 2".

The drone also appeared to have two different sensor sizes, with what looked like a 1-inch sensor equipped to it and a 1/1.7 sensor on the table.
So long as the leak is accurate to begin with, the remaining questions mainly revolve around the launch date and price. In fact, it is much closer in form to the Mavic than the more recent Mavic Air.
Sounds like we're going to have to update our Mavic Air vs. Mavic Pro vs. DJI Spark guide pretty soon.

Ever since Chinese drone maker DJI teased the world about its upcoming product launch, the internet has been abuzz with speculation about what could be announced. If this is really the DJI Mavic 2, drone enthusiasts should definitely get excited about it.
One big takeaway from the picture is that the drone seems to have a removable gimbal which can be detached and used separately - similar to the GoPro Karma. This would be a feature that will be carried over from the original Mavic Pro.
