As soon as we see that Mi Note Pro is clearly aiming for a higher class of audience, with a display resolution of 1440p and a more expensive Snapdragon processor 810, as well as 4 GB of RAM. Mi Note display offers 1080p, Snapdragon 801, and 3 GB of RAM to make the device cheaper. Both have the same design, dimensions, camera battery (a difference of 90 mAh does not count), and various other high-level functions.
As always, one of the most immediate things about any smartphone will always design. Even before we turn on the phone, the first impression is always there for the “Cover».
Metal housing robust and durable device. At the top left of the phone has a logo Xiaomi. Speaker underneath slightly recessed into the body. Proximity Sensor / lighting is directly over them, and the front camera is located to the right of the speaker. The screen, as befits PHABLET occupies more space front of the phone. The capacitive buttons are located directly below the display. They are nothing new. The edges are rounded glass that look happy and well reflected in the tactile sensations. Turning to the back of the phone, we see the main camera with dual LED flash in the upper left corner of the phone.
The body is made of anodized aluminum. On the right side there are volume buttons and power. Volume rocker is on the power button.
The bottom of the smartphone contains a speaker and port MicroUSB, which is closer toward the left side of the phone. Do not symmetrical in terms of beauty, but it is more convenient to operate while charging the phone.
The left side contains the tray SIM, and on top there is a 3.5mm jack on the headphone. The phone is no infrared port.
In general, the design of the smartphone attractive and without any flaws. All items are taken into account, and it will love the user. Company unless overdone logos. But the ergonomics of the device it does not interfere. At the same time, well done, that the power button and volume control are located at a sufficient distance from each other. Confuse difficult.
