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.

Apple on the other hand was threatened balls deep because there went a company that not only outcopied them, but also improved upon the largely bland environment that is ios with thier aggressive implementation of touchwiz on top of android.

        Shaun Moroz, 11 Dec 2016The Kirin processors are very powerful, especially the new ... morelike u said, new kirin 960 is powerful, yes i agree. but others is not, like p9 and honor 8, due to one big probelm, their GPU. do you guys even realise that P9 and honor 8, so called flagship GPU performance is just on par with SD 65x, a mid-ranger? hence, a "flagship" that has weak GPU shouldn't be called as flagship.

                Sammy, now you feel how apples used to when their stuff copied by you guys.
                Can you do anything about it? No, you can not cause its Xiaomi.

Do you know in terms of overall (CPU+GPU) performance, Huawei P9 is just above Xiaomi redmi note 3 snapdragon version? accept the facts dude. Huawei honor 8 is overpriced.

                              Brutal design copy of Note7, even the name... LOL
                              If some China company makes such cheap crap device with the Apple design and name, the media will mention the words 'COPY' or 'SHAMELESS' in every second sentence. Right?
                              Even such device will not have the honor, to be reviewed here.
                              But fighting Samsung for the Apple favor, made this vaudeville happen. And even mange to be on the top of start page.
                              Pathetic!
