2:37 – Xiaomi is really trying to outdo Apple, huh? Thankfully the Note doesn’t look much like an Apple device. Also, 6.95mm with a 3000mAh battery seems pretty good to me.
2:40 – 2.5D glass, Gorilla Glass 3 and OIS? Schweet.
2:42 – Dat bezel. Still nothing on the price though, which is worrysome.
2:44 – The design is nice. It looks better than the iPhone it’s trying to beat.
2:46 – Lei Jun doesn’t look like Steve Jobs either.
3:04 – So farm it’s looking like a thinner IUNI U3.
3:22 – So, it’s a SNAPDRAGON 810 with 4GB RAM for only $371. Amazing.
3:32 – NOPE. The high end one is $532 apparently. Damn.
The highest version is 3,299 RMB
I know.
first 810 snapdragon : i laughed. announced for march, available like in may so no . there will be a lot of 810 phone before that.
name it?!
I guess they must be meaning the first Chinese phone with a Snapdragon 810 because everyone knows LG launched it’s Snapdragon 810 G Flex 2 at CES last week.
They meant first xiaomi snapdragon 810 phone you will be able to buy from Christmas 2015 lol
uhh more like Snapdragon 810 with 4gb of Ram for $550 (USD). How on earth you got $371 is beyond me. Even when converted to Euro’s that’s still over 450 Euro’s.
wait a month, and buy Asus Zenfone 2 with Intel inside…almost the same as Snap810
but much cheaper than the Samsung Note 4 or Note Edge.The Zopo 990 was that time over 449$ and not as good as the new Xiaomi.Hope for possibility and change battery!!!!!!!!!!

Just realised I am crap at reading specs in Chinese. LoL
像素级动态对比度调整 whut?!
found a live stream on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmIVknz89Dw
You da real MVP.
Good spec,let see when it will be avaible and international price!
Lol hipster CEO wearing jeans with a business shirt.
I’m not that excited with the specs coupled with the price. My vivo xplay has the same specs and it’s over 2 years old now.
It’s got a Snapdragon 810, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, OIS and is 6.95 mm thin? Where’d you get it? The XPlay I remember has a Snapdragon 600 processor.
Most likely the pro version will release only by June. They use the attention to hype and sell the base version.
XPlay 3s: snap 801, 3GB, 32GB, hi-fi chips, 2K, amazing speakers, f1.8 camera, no OIS, no dual SIM, huge battery (but 2K hurts it – my friend has one). Price on release in December 2013 was 3499 yuan.
Mi Note: snap 801, 3GB, 16/64GB, hi-fi chips, 1080, good speaker (?), f2.0/OIS, dual SIM, good battery w/NEGA display. Price on release in January 2015 is 2299/2799 yuan.
Mi Note Pro: snap 810, 4GB, 64GB, hi-fi, 2k, good speaker (?), f2.0/OIS, dual SIM, good batter w/NEGA display, though 2k might eat into it. Price on release in March 2015 is 3299 yuan.
Lol. Guess we’ll have to wait for reviews to find out the full story.
yep … gonna be expensive like hell !
Actually it’s a little lame that they call it a note witch for me imply that there should be a “s-pen” but there is not as far as i can see, witch means that all smart phones are “note”, so big whoop Lei Jun, It’s just a bigger mi4.
It’s Snapdragon 810 and not 801. 2299 for the 16GB.
Wrong. The 2299 (16GB) and 2799 (64GB) models have ye old Snapdragon 801. Only the 3299 model has the Snapdragon 810.
Sorry but you will got Snapdragon 801 for 2299 yuan.
If you wanna Snapdragon 810 you have to spend 3299 yuan… Well if you are living China.
Is not the first snapdragon 810, it’s the second one. The first is LG G Flex 2.
Its the 3rd actually as Samsung released the note 4 in Korea with the 810 a few weeks ago.
Seems more competition for Samsung..!!
Apple is Apple, and I believe iPhone is not going to walk along side with Droids.
Agree or Disagree, its pointless to compare iPhone with any other Non Apple devices.
Andi, please do a camera comparison with the X Shot as soon as you can. I am buying one or the other. My local Vivo store has the Ultimate on sale for $400, so I’m really torn.
By the time you add reseller mark ups this thing will be twice as expensive as the IUNI U3, is it really twice as good?? I know where my money would go and it ain’t this one…
