As the rumors were floating around regarding the launch of Xiaomi Note 2, which eventually came true. Today, Xiaomi launched new Mi Note 2 in Beijing, China. Mi Note 2 resembles the Samsung’s Note 7, because of its curved edges of its screen. The Note 7 resemblance extends to the rounded fingerprint sensor, which appears to be embedded beneath the glass. This is the first non-Samsung smartphone to have curved edges.
As expected, the Mi Note 2 has everything you’d imagine from a high-end phone. The design is an eye-pleasing symmetrical design that converges into a metallic frame. the glass back of the Mi note 2 is also curved which gives you a perfect grip. Taking the curved screen into consideration, Note 2’s body to screen ratio is 77.2%, a figure that’s held down by the sizeable top and bottom bezels.
