Can Xiaomi’s New Note Duo be an iPhone Killer?


Xiaomi’s January 15 is finally over, and as the dust settles, we see the silhouettes of two new phablets that have specs that might make Apple a bit worried.


The new phablets are as large as the iPhone 6 Plus but are packing bigger screens at 5.7 inches. The Mi Note’s display is manufactured by Sharp/JDI and offers a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The phone is sandwiched by two Gorilla Glass 3 panels with the front layer featuring 2.5D glass with a gentle curve around the edges.

The Xiaomi Note will be powered by a Snapdragon 801 chip with a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB of RAM and either 16GB or 64GB of internal memory. There’s a 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor at the back with an f/2.0 aperture, optical image stabilization and a two-tone flash. The phone also comes with a powerful selfie snapper with a 4MP sensor with 2 micron pixel size.
Energy will be supplied by a 3000mAh battery while the software will run on MIUI 6 – a heavily modified version of Android.


The Pro version of the Mi Note brings most of the phablet’s specs a notch higher. The display is still 5.7 inches but is upgraded to QHD resolution (~515ppi). It also has a more powerful processor – a Snapdragon 810 with an octa-core processor, Adreno 430 GPU, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

The Mi Note Pro shares identical components as the base version (13MP+4MP camera combo) and comes with the same 3000mAh battery.

The Xiaomi Mi Note will be available later this month starting at $371 for the 16GB model and goes up to $451 for the 64GB version. Meanwhile, the Pro version will sell for $523 around the same time as the base Mi Note.
