Xiaomi Mi Note 2 Review

Score: 76 / 100

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is a very complete Android cellphone released in November 2016, including an enormous 5.7-inches display, a high performance Quad-Core processor ticking at 2.35 gigahertz, and two cameras, a 23 megapixels back camera and an 8 megapixels front side camera. But it's time to get into a bit more detail.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 just has 6.15 inches long, but it's able to fit a a 5.7 inches display. This phone is just 0.3 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest phone's category. This cellphone is a combination of Glass and Aluminum . This cellphone is for sale in two colors, black and silver. Xiaomi did a very nice design job making this cellphone weight just 5.86 oz.

Xiaomi decided to equip this cellphone with an exceptional 2350 MHz Quad-Core processor, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 MSM8996 Pro chip with a big 6 GB RAM. A great feature of this cellphone is its huge 128 GB internal memory and though it doesn't have an SD memory slot, it it is more than enough to install hundreds of apps without even thinking about how much storage capacity is left.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 features two cameras, a 23 megapixels back camera and an 8 megapixels front-facing camera. Its back camera lens has a maximum F2 aperture so it can shoot great photos even in low lighting conditions. This phone also shoots 3840x2160 4K videos.

This cellphone has an amazing 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 5.7 inches display, giving this device a perfect graphical experience.

This phone includes WiFi capability (although it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A (4G) high bandwidth data connection and also HSPA+ connection type (a slower 4G variation) and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 has two Nano SIM cards so it is able to work with 2 different phone numbers and even different carriers.

This device packs an inmense 4070 mAh Li - Ion non-removable battery providing the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 an amazing battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the Xiaomi Mi Note 2's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to lose capacity, even though with such a big battery you will probably discard this cellphone before that becomes an issue.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 also features lots of cool features as Biometric fingerprint, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your cellphone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (4.2 ) and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is really overpriced considering it is priced 516 dollars, and many similar phones are being sold for much less than that. No matter whether you want a social cellphone, want this device to take many photographs, are looking for a phone to play games or need this phone for work, you will definitely be very pleased with this phone.
