Comparison review
Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has a global score of 76, which is just a bit better than the Huawei P9's overall score of 72.9. Despite being the best cellphone in this comparison review, it must be noted that it's also a a little bit thicker and somewhat heavier cellphone. The Huawei P9 has a slightly better screen than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because although it has a bit smaller display, and they both have the same 1080 x 1920px resolution, the Huawei P9 also counts with a quite higher display pixel density.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 counts with a quite bigger memory for applications and games than Huawei P9, because although it has no SD memory slot, it also counts with 96 GB more internal memory. The Huawei P9 has just a little better performance than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because although it has less RAM, it also counts with a larger number of cores (and also faster).
The Huawei P9 takes slightly better videos and photos than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, although it has a lot lower video quality, a tinier aperture which is not good for low light images and videos, a tinier camera sensor capturing less light and dull colors and a back facing camera with much less mega-pixels.
The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 features a very superior battery performance than Huawei P9, because it has 4070mAh of battery capacity.
