Xiaomi’s newest phone release (that is, until the 22nd this month), i.e., the Redmi Note 2, is being offered by a variety of resellers in China, but here’s a decent deal.
Everbuying are offering the device in its 16GB and 32GB variants for US$160 and US$180 respectively. The device is scheduled to ship starting the 17th this month, but you can go ahead and pre-order already.
Gizchina News of the week
The regular prices listed on the store are US$169 and US$206, but you can use coupon codes RedMi16GB and RedMi32GB for the 16GB and 32GB variants respectively to avail the device at the discounted prices.
If you’ve forgotten, or if you’re new here, the Redmi Note 2 comes with a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080p FHD display, is powered by the powerful MediaTek MT6795 Helio X10 processor, and has 2GB of RAM (the Redmi Note 2 Prime has 3GB) with 13 mega-pixel / 5 mega-pixel cameras. The 13 mega-pixel rear comes with PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) for faster focus.
The Redmi Note 2 will be succeeded by the Mi 4C, more about which you can read here.
is this something? What about screen protection?
It’s hard to find anything about it. There are scratch-tests on YouTube were you see people using bolts, scissors and other things to try and harm the display. It looks pretty okay. I hear some rumours about the Redmi Note 2 having Dragontail Glass but I think if that were to be true, they would have used it in their marketing, right?
true …
im stilll waiting for GC review
hey , @JeepNL:disqus , can u tell me about the camera (esp low light and flash quality) and general performance (game benchmarks and stuff) ?
Prime isn’t out yet?
Prime is the 32GB version.
Nope 32GB is the advanced, prime is 32GB + Turbo Helio. I hoped for 3GB RAM also from what I read but seems it’s not true
No. There’s only 3 versions of the phone.

I thought the Prime also has 2GB Ram…
Prime Also Has 2 Gb Ram . . . Not 3 GB
review?
And where would it be cheapest when I am from Europe? 🙂
why is the gizchina shop not able to get any black redmi note 2`s for pre-order??
Hi guys I heard the tdd version supports fdd as well, this might be a great deal
does the phone has led light?
I bought one before 2 days…and this is a joke because today I have received an notification that “Unfortunately, we are very sorry to inform you that
the item you ordered we need 2 weeks to back ordered. The item you
ordered is hot sale and there have been significant supply issues with the
manufacturer”
You wait pre-order proces to be finished, you are willing to wait for shipping arrival and you get this kind of note…Lessons learn do not ever by something from small players in the game.
