Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 review: Wallet-friendly Note 2 manages to pack in the performance with a low-cost chip

Xiaomi's decision to use MediaTek's Helio X10 processor for its budget phablet proves to be the right choice.

Xiaomi's Redmi Note 2 may be cheap, but it packs in good performance with a reliable camera and expandable storage.

The phone is pretty much limited to countries in Asia for now, and there's no indication it will head westward anytime soon. Camera color accuracy is a problem indoors and battery life is good, but not great.

The Redmi Note 2 is yet another Xiaomi smartphone that delivers good performance at a low price -- but those outside Asia however will have a hard time getting one.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 ( white)

Personally, I don't really like displays larger than 5 inches, as they make it a tad uncomfortable to use with one hand, but the 5.5-inch Redmi Note 2 didn't seem too hard to get used to. Perhaps it's because I've been testing out the Apple Watch with...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Review

Sold for the equivalent of just $140 in China (and about $30 to $50 on top of that through e-tailers), the Note 2 sounds incredible on paper: a large, 1080p display, a powerful octa-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a 13MP camera. The question is,...

Very good screen-to-body ratio ; Well-balanced display ; MIUI is versatile and reliable ; IR blaster available ; Good call quality ; Good battery life

Creaky backplate that can drive you mad ; Built-in Xiaomi apps aren't 100% translated to English ; MIUI comes with bloatware ; Camera could use some work

At about $170 to $190 (excluding any possibly applicable import fees), the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is a hard phablet to beat, though certainly not unopposed. For around that kind of money, you can get Meizu's m2 Note 5.5-incher, which sports a nearly...

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2: Is it still cheap and good?

Xiaomi declares that the Redmi Note 2 is a smartphone that gives us a "flagship-like" experience. We see how much of that experience rings true in our review.

Decent performance for price ; Affordable ; Good display quality

Limited battery life ; Expandable by only 32GB ; Poorly-aligned speaker grill

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is definitely good value for money, given its low price and decent benchmark performance. However, the novelty of cheap-and-good has now been diluted since Xiaomi is now synonymous with that phrase, while certain performance...
