Introduction
Note is dead, long live the Note! This phrase is to remind you that although the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and unlucky with the trip to the market this year, given the form-factor of mobile-phablet with a stylus is not dead, but on the contrary, enjoys great popularity.
Xiaomi has his eyes on the Note and offers to the market for the second version of the line. And also with curved display. The high-end smart phone from China will inevitably catch up with his South Korean counterpart. But still win. After all, he’s alive. And the competitor is dead. What could be better than to win?
even If you do not look at a curved display, it’s still the flagship for 2016: Snapdragon 821, initial version 4 GB / 64 GB or a higher version with a complete set of 6 GB / 128 GB already inspire respect, but there is more, and advanced cameras and many other pieces capable of attracting the mass user.
Main features of Xiaomi Mi Note 2:
with the two sides curved 5.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1080p and a density of 386 pixels per inch;
– Quad-core Snapdragon 821 with a clock frequency of 2×2,35 GHz + 2×2,2 GHz, graphics chip Adreno 530;
– the main camera on 22,5 MP F/ 2.0, with a hybrid phase autofocus with face detection; video recording of 2160p at 30 frames per second;
– front camera 8 MP, F/2.0, 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second;
– a proprietary shell MIUI 8 based on Android 6.0.1;
– option for 64 GB of internal memory and 4 GB of RAM or 128 GB and 6 GB of RAM (but less accessible);
– link 4G LTE 12th category (600 MB); dual SIM; Wi-Fi A / B / G / N /ac; Bluetooth 4.2; NFC; GPS, GLONASS, and Beidou; IR transmitter;
– dual microphone for active noise cancellation;
– battery 4070 mAh + fast charging;
– the fingerprint reader;
– infrared port to control household appliances.
General drawbacks:
– no waterproofing;
– Full HD resolution may look a little stretched for this screen;
– not the latest version of the Android OS (although the update should come in the end).
2016 proposes the idea that all flagships need to be waterproof, but the Chinese manufacturer has decided that he is nothing in this plan shall not, and wouldn’t isolate the case. More to the ego has a Full HD resolution instead of QHD, because such a solution implies that the user will never get VR headsets from all manufacturers for this phone because the picture is too bad for virtual reality.
Packaging
unlike MiMix and his fantastic black box with a great bundle, this camera comes in a plain white box, and in it there are even headphones. You will find only the most necessary things inside, and quick charge don’t even level QuckCharge 3.0, and the unit below. And cable USB-A to USB-a cable C, not Type-C to Type-C. This is not a picking for the future.
the tube Mi Note 2 has dimensions of 156,2×of 77.3×7.6 mm, which is comparable to the Galaxy Note 7 and is slightly smaller than the iPhone 7 Plus. Weight – 166 grams.
Overview of equipment and control
In principle, the Mi Note 2 is actually a clone of the Galaxy Note7. A large screen curved edges with nothing to confuse. But even the Home button as if specially were taken from rival Xiaomi. This is not an accusation of plagiarism, just the obvious facts that dramatically catch the eye.
on the other hand, someone from this harm, if the competitor has left the arena? Curved display want to have everything as cheap as possible. And that’s what Xiaomi offers, but with a little more frame around the screen than the deceased colleague. In any case, it is an attractive design element, even if it serves no practical purpose, except to allow your fingertips to feel more at ease. However, the fingerprint sensor would look better on the back of the device, since the body is quite slippery and push the bottom switch with one hand is just dangerous.
Above the display, as usual, is the front facing camera has sensors ambient light and proximity. Led notification is on the left side.
Glass coating for the back of the device offers punctually to use wipes and rags, because it’s a magnet for fingerprints. And the phone is virtually impossible to drop without consequences. And glass the back is scratched a lot faster than the ceramic Mix from Mi. And because the case included for the device no one will. On the back of the phone is practically nothing but a camera and dual led flash.
the Symmetric form of the aluminum frame (and the body still consists mainly of aluminium) looks good. But if the phone is lying on the back on the table, then raise it with the first capture of the fingers because it blends in with the surface because of its curves.
the power Button and volume control are on the right side. The card slot is on the left side. It takes two SIM cards and will not tolerate the presence of microSD for memory expansion.
At the bottom you will find a USB Type-C, which is equivalent to the level of USB 2.0 specifications and do not understand the system 3.0. To his right is the speaker, and under another identical grating is the main microphone. The system has no stereo speakers.
Conclusion
As with any Chinese clone phone that simulates anything, there are always two distinct sides. On the one hand, this is a great smartphone, with another – there is nothing extraordinary. That is on the light side – a powerful processor, a fairly loud speaker, good sound quality and capable selfie-camera, in the dark – that the apparatus sinks, breaks easily, is slippery, gets dirty quickly, has no stereo and bright and beautiful display offers a few stretched image with low pixel density per inch. Samsung does not allow this. So it is possible to make good things, and you can simulate them than Home deals, bribing, and longing for the branded things. At the same time, the original stuff of the company manage much better. Example – the same Mi Mix.
