For those who think benchmarks are crap because of 720p vs 1080p:

mi2 is better than the s4 in nearly every 1080p benchmark

    Xiaomi MI 2S is an amazing phone!
    Xiaomi (and many others after them) had run a few benchmarks and majority of the results have shown MI 2S to be better than S4 (for example http://www.gsmarena.com/Xiaomi...ews-5832.php ). Yes MI 2S has 4x1.7GHz Snapdragon CPU which is 4x0.2GHz less than S4 but the reason for 2S outrunning S4 probably lies in Xiaomi's MIUI which appears to be more optimized than Samsung's TouchWiz (and it's better looking IMHO). MI 2S also has many other stunning features: 2GB of RAM! great camera (8Mp for 16GB and 13Mp for 32GB variant), crystal clear IPS LCD 4.3 inch HD display (with pixel density of 342ppi!), great sound quality and unbelievably low price compared to it's quality!


    This is the only (for now) 100% confirmed Xiaomi partner shop with the lowest price that I know of with FREE shipping (where I bought my 2S for $395) and a bunch of phone accessories.

            Qandeel, 10 Apr 2013No point comparing a 720p screen with a 1080 (sgs 4). Obvio... morethere is a point and the comparison is absolutely fair)
            it shows that one phone is faster then another,whether you need 720p screen or 1080p screen it's up to you to pick

                Ramy, 10 Apr 2013Don't you know the 8 core exynos S4 for now is more superio... moreThis phone won't go anywhere outside China. That's why S4 and One and G pro and XZ are expensive, they're the top of their tier outside China.

                    I want to see an independant report before rushing to conclusions. The Chinese phones are still not up to par with the Korean counterparts. Give them a few years and I'm sure that they will be on par or overtake the Korean counterparts. Just as the Koreans have overtaken the Japanese and Finnish.

                            I can`t understand why you always obtain at least 6000 points for Samsung Galaxy Note II on Quadrant while I never get under 6950-7047(last time),without any overclock or root!(standard phone with lots of apps)

                                samsung is a Korean company which gets the parts from china and puts a phone together. the cost difference between the two devices is due to branding, you pay 700 for a 200 phone because it says samsung on it

                                  No point comparing a 720p screen with a 1080 (sgs 4). Obviously the lesser resolution will help increase overall performance, but its an unfair comparison.

                                    -Galaxy s4 is running a 5" 1080p and lots of new features and benefits
                                    -MI-2S is running a 4.3" 720p with a normal android smartphone features
                                    .
                                    I'm not a fan but these should be considered

                                        Please don't compare xiaomi mi-2s and samsung s4, because samsung cost 650-700 euro and mi-2s just 285 euro. You can compare mi-2s with lumia 720...screen resolution 720p screen/WVGA; 2gb ram/512 mb ram; 13mp/6,7; 1080p video/720p; 2.0 secondary camera/1,3; quad core s600 1,7 ghz/ dual core 1 ghz; adreno 320/305; android with so many apps/windows 8
