Dubbed as "the most epic flagship phone," Xiaomi has revealed one of their cool new product offerings in a launch held in Beijing yesterday - Mi Note. Sporting a 5.7-inch screen, the new phablet in town has many stories to tell. Let's take a look at its features below.
Looking at the image of Mi Note above, we can see a design that sure is a head-turner. As you give that second look, curvy edges, glass, frame and panels are evident. Both sides of the phone are covered with curved Gorilla Glass 3, resisting it from scratches. Compared to one of its contenders, in the phablet arena, the iPhone 6 Plus, Mi Note is a victor with respect to its thickness of just 6.95mm, 0.15mm thinner, and weight at 161g versus 172g on the iPhone.
While not having the highest resolution out there, the Mi Note contains 1920x1080 pixels at 386 pixels-per-inch. The use of QHD screen may be wanted, but the early adapters are still observed with its effect on battery life and performance. It has a 95% NTSC color gamut, adaptive dynamic contrast and a reading mode for eye-friendly reading sessions.
Under the hood is a Snapdragon 801 processor clocked at 2.5GHz paired with Adreno 330 GPU and 3GB of RAM. It introduces dual 4G sim slots and dual standby with one micro and one nano size support.
Mi Note also boasts its photography department with a 13MP, 2nd gen Sony CMOS sensor camera. The inclusion of OIS is good for less blurs when taking low light photos. The front cam is also exciting as it showcase a 4MP with a 2-micron pixels (larger pixels than average) for selfies and video calling.
For audiophiles, the phablet can play more than just mp3s. It caters the High-Fidelity needs with its special audio decoder.
Other features are its 3000mAh battery made by Sony/LG that supports Quick Charge 2.0, 16GB or 64GB internal phone storage options, Android Kitkat 4.4.2, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc. The 16GB model's price is approximately $370 which is about P16500. There's no news on its availability in the country yet. It's hard to guess when because other Xiaomi products announced last year haven't reached our shores still, like in Mi4 and Mi Pad's case. But many are looking forward to have them soon.
