Comparison review
Xperia PRO is much better than the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, getting a 94.3 score against 76. Both phones in this review come with Android OS (Operating System), but the Xperia PRO has an older 10 version and Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has Android 6.0 Marshmallow version. Even though the Xperia PRO is a lot newer than the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, it is extremely thicker and incredibly heavier.
The Sony Xperia PRO has a bit more powerful processing unit than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because it has more RAM and a higher number of cores (and also faster). The Xperia PRO features a brighter screen than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because it has a way better resolution of 1644 x 3840px, a little bit bigger screen and a lot better amount of pixels per screen inch.
Sony Xperia PRO has a much better camera than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because although it has a lower video resolution and a back facing camera with a way worse 12 megapixels resolution, it also counts with a lot bigger sensor taking lot better quality videos and photos and a larger camera aperture to take better photography and video in low light situations.
The Xperia PRO features much more storage to install games and applications than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, because it has 512 GB internal storage capacity and a SD extension slot that supports a maximum of 1 TB. Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has just a bit longer battery life than Xperia PRO, because it has a 4070mAh battery capacity instead of 4000mAh.
Although Sony Xperia PRO is a better device, it is way more expensive than Xiaomi Mi Note 2, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Xiaomi Mi Note 2. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the Xiaomi Mi Note 2, letting go a couple features, but you'll get the most out of your budget.
