Design

The design of this new smartphone is in line with the existing design philosophy of the brand and nothing much has been changed. It comes with the same glass and metal unibody chassis, which has redefined the smartphone aesthetics in the Indian market.

The processor has been paired with massive 4 GB of RAM so that it never runs out of space to perform smoothly. This handset also boasts of a powerful 3600 mAh battery under the rear panel for an impressive backup.

Camera Technology

Xiaomi likes to take the competition straight to leading players in the Market and as such it has equipped its next smartphone with the same camera as found on Samsung's flagship device. Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has been equipped with a powerful 16 Megapixels primary snapper with dual tone LED flash. On its front is a 4 Ultrapixels snapper that has been made popular by HTC and is known for clicking super clear pics.

Connectivity

Like all other Xiaomi smartphones, this one too is a dual SIM device that comes with support for both 4G LTE and 3G bands. Other connectivity options on the device include Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, microUSB and GPS.

Verdict

Xiaomi devices have always been the ones to sell out like hot cakes during Christmas and we can expect Mi Note 2 to tread on the same path.
