Xiaomi Mi Note 2 review: Filling in

9 December 2016
The Note is dead, long live the Note! Unless you've been living in a cave, you've probably heard that the Samsung Galaxy Note7 is no more, but Xiaomi has a Note of its own to bring phablet lovers some solace this season - the Mi Note 2.

              Everything in the review may as well be true, but until this phone costs 250 EUR for 4/64 GB Global version and 265 EUR for 6/128 GB Chinese (easily modded to Global) this is one of the best value high performance phones out there.

                Amazing phone let down by a surprisingly horrible camera.....
                I dont think there is any other flagship with a worse camera....
                Even their own mi5 had it better....

                    Well I have used this phone for some time and I think it's flawless in performance and amazing battery life. The point is what other phone you can get for the price of the Mi note 2 and compare to that phone. To me this phone is very affordable and it's wisely build to achieve low price but keeping high quality of all components. Xiaomi does not copy it's the other way. China's Zenshen is way ahead Silicone value in development progress. In West we call it shamless copy in China is called open source hardware. In my opinion this review has anoying tendency to devaluate an amazing phone for the price and I will take it as Jealousy.

                        You see, Xiaomi had called Mi4i "flagship", and it had worst midrange SoC at the time...
                        Plus, even that i do agree that SD65x is midrange SoC, you can't deny that it is better than last year's best chip SD810 ;)

                                    BTW Mi Note 1 have not only the name 'Note', but also 5.7'' display.
                                    Apple and the China brands could copy whatever from Note, but they can never make device in the Note category. Period!

                                      The point is how the US media react on this(not only the design but the name also).
                                      No 'copy' , no 'shameless' , no 'brutal' ....but even whole review article. Hoping, some China brand could take some slice of the Samsung's market, so to make Apple to look Great Again.
                                      Pathetic.
                                      The main problem that Apple and the China(and Taiwan) have is.......that no one of them could make device of the Note category.....coping the size or the design it not enough.
                                      The unique Note category is making them(US, China, Taiwan) mad, and we already saw it . Right?
                                      And I mean not only the media, but their authorities involved, even the Presidents. LOL

In fact, if you look at the back of the Mi Note 1 and Note 5 they are identical. You could argue that Samsung copied Xiaomi first.
