Gone are the times when to have a high-end smartphone it was necessary to invest hundreds of euros. The arrival of Chinese brands has made the sector get its act together and now it is possible to have a Android mobile with good benefits, without the need to leave half a salary.

An example of this is the Xiaomi Note 2 Redmire, a terminal with high-end features and a price that in a more “traditional” brand would correspond to that of a basic smartphone.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, specifications and features

Technical Specifications

There are two different models of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, one with an internal storage of 16GB and another with 32GB. Removing this storage detail, the specifications of both terminals are practically the same, betting especially on a powerful processor and ample RAM, so that we can enjoy any Android application or game, without fear of being left hanging:

• Display: 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 (FHD) 400 ppi
• CPU: Helio X10 Octa Core 2GHz
• GPU graphics processor: PowerVR G6200
• Operating system: Android 5.1 (MIUI7)
• RAM: 2GB
• Capacity: 32 / 16GB
• External memory: Micro SD up to 32 GB
  
• Camera: 5.0MP front + 13MP back
• Bluetooth: 4.0
• GPS: GPS / A-GPS / GLONASS
• Networks: 2G: GSM900/1800/1900MHz   3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz   4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz
• Battery: 3060 mAh

Perhaps the element that is a little less similar to those of the high-end smartphones that we can currently find on the market is the camera, which is closer to the mid-range, than what can be expected from a flagship leading model. On the contrary, the processor and the possibility of connecting to 4G networks, as well as the latest version of Android, are among its strengths.

As there are two versions of this terminal, it is likely that you have wondered if it is worth spending a little more on the 32GB one or it is preferable to opt for the cheaper model. This will depend on the use you give it, if you only use messaging tools and social networks it will not be worth more capacity, but it will if you want to get the most out of it and install heavy applications and games, as well as record videos and take thousands of photos In this case, the best option is the one with the most capacity.
