Xiaomi Mi Note - User Reviews

  • Could xiaome note bamboo os upgrated from Android 4.4.4 (KitKat), to 6.0 (Marshmallow)

  • hello am facing a very big challenge with this MI NOTE LTE,i have been using it for just 6 months as my primary phone.The battery is a big problem,it switches off even at 40% without giving a notification.What can i do,i am in Zimbabwe

  • Maybe you have the same problem as I, my mi note lte keep turning on and off by itself because it has a problem with battery. Go check your battery, bring your phone to the service center..

  • MI note can update miui 9 global???

  • I just got a problem....i was trying to update my mi note 4 beta rom and accidentally deleted the os and system folder...mine was 64 gb verient ..then installed the os from a service center not from mi service center...after fixing my phone i got another problem the internal storage has reduced to 2 gb..how can fix this what i have to do

  • In 2018, and i dnt have any problem with my phone.. It run very well for me. Except, i have litle bit problem with battry & main camera.. Just that, and no more problem.. One thing, i get updated to miui 9 too.. And its work.

  • But my Mi Note is ok after updated. no problem!

  • been using this phone for almos a year ..after i updated it to miui 9... it's horiible everyday i had to restart the phone cos idk why but for me everytime the phone suddenly turn off and turn on by itself (not shutdown just the turn the screen off and on by itself) i can't take it anymore even when I'm playing games this things happen..trust me guys this problem keep happening WHILE I'm writing my opinion that u guys are reading right now...pls dont update this phone to miui 9

  • Get creative ep 630

  • Good day mates, I have a simple question here and it would be GREAT if anyone could provide me the answer. I'm really dying to know this. I just got myself a new(original) Mi Note Lte recently as my secondary phone. I want to know what is the best (Bass) headphone for this phone. I'm searching for all round good sound, rock acoustic edm etc with a satisfying Bass. Bass that really bashes the brain but still Mantain the all round qualities, not killing it. I tried the Mi earphones like the pro hd, pistons and I can't really accept what it offers. I also noticed that the loudness of the headphone sound is not really high. So far, I have tried Sennheiser's CX series, IE 80 series, Sony Bass buds and quite a few more. But I truly feel that, the sound produced by those earphones in mi note is not it's fullest potential. Like something is always missing. Most of the times, it's the loudness. And the punchy Bass. So I thought, maybe theres a earphones out there which is the True fit for my mi and it offers what I need. So, if anyone, Anyone at all, could tell me that or suggest to me the best bud for my mi, I will be in your debt man. For real. I will truly appreciate it. Thanks, V.V R

  • Brilliant!! It works! Can I also use this on my iphone?

  • Hello guys. I just wanna share a problem i have with this phone. Since i bought it i can`t connect to the internet except my own. I did a factory data reset and everything was ok for 2 days.Then the problem started again. Is there anyone who know`s how to solve my problem?

  • Please check your battery, it happened to me also. Most of these phones battery last up to 3 years, so you might consider changing the battery. Good luck

  • please am using minote lte for long am trying to get new file i did not have we try different file did not work in process of putting new one i lost my mi network please help me

  • Yes mines is currently running marshmallow

  • my mi phone is not longer booting and I tried to restore it, but isn't working. pls help

  • I've bought this phone for 8 months. Now i got a problem with the phone. When i opened an app, the screen turned black and red . Suddenly, it's totally black, and i can't see anything from the screen. When the screen turned on , the bottom off the screen is very hot. Is there any solution for my problem?

  • "Is there by any chance to insert SD card?" - There is NO chance of that. You will be limited to the internal storage only.

  • Is there by any chance to insert SD card?

  • Yes

  • Is this phone got Marshmallow now?

  • yes, I like this function but now my phone not able to select both sim to be active together. Once I set the internet to sim2, sim 1 auto deactivated....Can only used 1 sim at a time, don't know what happen....

  • Yes i know that. What i meant is that you need to set the default SIM slot to use for internet. Refer to Setting > SIM cards & mobile networks -->> Default settings, at the bottom. This is a nice features as like i insert my prepaid SIM to slot 2 & the Postpaid SIM to slot 1. This is to avoid accidentally turn on the mobile data, which prepaid data is very expensive if i did not buy any data plan. Check it out!

  • You can buy a replacement screen on Aliexpress for roughly 30.40 dollars. Most repair shops will have to order the Screen.

  • I am waiting for OUKITEL U16Max, it has 5 point multi-touch and 4000mAh battery and full metal design.

  • Android 6.0.1 :D :D miui 8 is available

  • Which better for the camera between mi note and mi 4 guys?

  • i vote for mi note. even without finger print sensor and IR sensor, it is a very good phone.

  • Mi Note is a very good phone after use for a year i still love this phone.. camera is a superb for selfie and back camera with ois. internal 64gb ram 3Gb i really love this phone. some more this phone got 2nd space and it really good.

  • I think mi series better than redmi series Mi cam is better than Redmi cam

  • Lenovo k5 note or xiaomi Mi note priority stylish and good camera and good multitasking

  • I think the Mi Note might be better

  • Xiaomi Mi Note 64GB for $250 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 64GB for $210 Which is a better deal if priority is camera and battery life?

  • Hi did you manually install Android 6.0 Marshmallow yourself or auto update from Mi? This is not Android KitKat with MIUI 8 that claim to have Android 6.0 feature right? Just making sure before buy. Thanks.

  • Hi just to confirm yours is Android 6.0 marshmallow and not 4.4.4 KitKat with MIUI 8 right? Some say it won't get Android 6.0 but the MIUI 8 has its feature. Just making sure which is which before spending a fortune on this phone. Thanks.

  • It has volume wake up, but no double tap to wake up which is not really bothersome to me, I am running android 6.0 , my redmi note 2 is running 5.0, but both are running MIUI 8.0

  • This phone is one of the best buys you can get, 386ppi is clear and it doesn't really bother me coming from a LG G3 with over 500ppi, you can't really tell, camera is really good, esp manual settings, light photography...loudspeaker is very loud and very clear, higher than my redmi note 2...and I'm running android marshmellow. Unlike Huawei, I had a mate 7, there was no customer support from them and I was stuck on android kit kat, uptil now there is still no software updates, stick with Xiaomi and you will never go wrong.

  • my phone s 3 months older and mike is not working unless i use the earphone., i have also heard same complains ... they suggested to replace motherboard

  • This phone is really nice... The camera works beautiful and the performance so good... Well done xiaomi

  • Is that custom ROM the one with Android 6 marshmallow? How about volume wake up does it support? Thanks.

  • It does not support double tap to wake up and the latest android version on my mi note is 6.0.1 MMB29M (Marshmallow).

  • how good of its battery life

  • I need advise cause i'm considering buying this phone but am a bit surprise that the price didn't drop that much after 1year as what I'm anticipating based on Mi4, which drop significantly. Could anyone let me know does it support volume wake up? or double tab to wake up without needing to root and install the software separately? And also, what is the latest android version? does it stay at 4.4.4 even though i believe MIUI will be updated to the latest version which I think should be 8? Reason i ask is because some of the apps or games that I will install usually required android 5 and above. Just want to make sure before I buy and regret later. Thanks and hoping to hear from Mi note users.

  • I think u must buy mi 3s or mi note 3 the best mi phone ever

  • Had the same issue with my battery. I'll let you know if I'm able to fix it.

  • Hey Guys.. How's the battery like after one year use ? Do they offer non-removable battery replacement via their service centre ?

  • You could at least elaborate the issue.

  • >>Until suddenly my phone reaches major heatisng issues and suddenly it wont turn itself on. >>Currently I'm sending it for repair under warranty, so we'll see how it goes. Hi flxwer, Update on the repair ?

  • Do Mi Note have Thailand language in the place of setting?please

  • Super phone! Using for more than 1 year now and works just like when it was new.

  • Have you used this phone? I am damn sure you dont. No one can say this type of talk after using this phone. I think you are a agent of another company.

  • Very good phone, I got MIUI 8 beta, very fast phone, good battery, excellent camera ...

  • if you buy this phone believe me it is waste of money。

  • I bought the xiaomi mi note pro about a month ago but I didn't start using it until recently. But it started to give me problems the first day I started to use it. when I tried to use the browser 7 to 10 pages open without me doing anything. Also it started to download Apps without me knowing about it and now whenever I unlocked the cellphone 10 pages open without me touching anything. I contacted the place where I bought the cellphone but they only answer by email and is taking forever. Is there anything I can do?

  • this phone is shit and useless. doesnt last and is pointless. waste of money. even bought it for $700 when it came out. do not buy i repeat do not buy

  • Should I buy this phone for now or vivo v3 max or something else? @_@

  • Ive been using Xiaomi Mi Note for 6 months now, and believe me, it has been my greatest experience with mobile phones so far. Even ot feeling intimidated by iPhone users or any other phones. Until suddenly my phone reaches major heatisng issues and suddenly it wont turn itself on. Currently I'm sending it for repair under warranty, so we'll see how it goes.

  • Bought this phone in AliExpress for ONLY 200€, nice phone, totally recomended.

  • Do you have any idea to produce note mini.

  • Both have 4G and mobile data, But only 1 SIM is acceptable for 4G &or Internet. But you need to identify which SIM slot for 4G and mobile data. Setting -> SIM cards & mobile networks at the bottom, at "DEFAULT SETTINGS" you need to specify which SIM to use.

  • From China FOR China use only. This is your mistake. On which Online shop that you made your purchase It is not fake, more likely other parallel importer include most malware preloaded apps. But don't worry, i did bought one "Xiaomi Redmi Note" that come with malware apps. I did manage to remove all malware apps and install Xiaomi apps & all Google apps. Go to (and sign up in forum, depend on country/region) Seek help form the forum and do some reading. Xiaomi phones are able to "Root", that was how i manage to remove all malware apps. You can try to check this from Xiaomi forum. I did not test it, as i am able to know what it fake or not. You are required to download "Google Installer" and install ALL Google apps in order to run as Android. Also available in MIUI forum &or website. Check my post in another Xiaomi phone, which is Redmi Note 2, in this forum.

  • After miui 7 update, my phone slowed down quite a bit but there's no longer heating issue

  • I found out there are fakes being sold after buying my Mi Note. Please check online to see whether your phone is authentic or not Yes and they even make fake xiaomi power banks nowadays

  • I think starhub is well known for their bad signal

  • So true. The power button is so so soft

  • I think you need a spec asap.. ip6s as the most pretty phone? Hahahaha! Look at Huawei Mate, S7 Edge, S7. S6 & Note5... those are pretty.. iphone is just a piece of simple steel...

  • Dis this phone has screen mirroring ?

  • Its unlikely a phone issues, try using another carrier SIM card and see if the problem replicate or not.

  • thanks buddy... using Aliexpress we can get both around $230. that's why I try them. thanks again

  • is there an english mode to go into with the mi note?

  • Many accident with power and volume button due to very soft.

  • Xiaomi is a great phone and will satisfy the needs of vast majority users. Xiaomi phone is elegant and the camera is great also. But if you must have a "pretty" phone and have a lots of money to burn, get a iPhone then. Can't go wrong with either one.

  • i using mi note 64g with starhub sim card from singapore. but my reception not stable and weak. signal bar always low or no service. i try flash roms all tat, but none works. help pls!!!

  • what is best phone honor 6 plus or mi note? please tell me. what have best camera?

  • everthing is fine yrr

  • Yes it's support OTG

  • I own this phone, everything works fine. Only down side is the power n volume button, too soft. Always accidently press it. Wish to modify it, but this will end my warranty. Pls advise....

  • does mi note support otg?

  • I bought this mi note phone from xiaomi mlysia website. Its very good phone. But on 1st day it's drop in pu leather case that alsilo bought from xiami site and back glass is broken. To replace the glass is rm310.. Otherwise its a sharp video watching, fast but heating when playing video. May be because the back glass is broken.. Some widget from google play not function in this phone...

  • I bought this fone from china, delivered here to me in the uk, lovely looking fone, i had the dual sim Redmi 2 , and it worked great, so i bought this new 5.7 in note dual sim. Thats when the problems started, Firstly only one sim works at a time, when you have two sims inserted onlt recognises one, does not matter which sim it is in ? And yet my other fone the Redmi 2 , works fine with both sims, totaly confused how Xiaomi thinks this is okay. Now when i press on my contacts a message appears 'unfortunately the process .android.process.acore has stopped working' And every time you answer a txt or email, a new screen appears asking you to install 'Cm security app. Or Wi fi master key or numerous others, totally useless when you are just wanting to use your fone as how it was intended. Summary, beatiful looking fone, but totally useless as a dual sim and really annoying, i have contacted Xiaomi, who are totally useless, so anyone in the UK buy a different fone as this is crap

  • U download miui 7 delevoper rom and flash see better or not?

  • Phone is good but Disappointed. I purchased it from China and all apps and games in Chinese. Store in Mumbai cannot help no software to change app. just about to be a year and it fell and got cracked near the camera behind And since then battery draining very fast whole day charging. Stor e says no battery also available in India. have to get from China. Very disappointed

  • Yes. Go to File Explorer and press internal memory and create a new folder.

  • Can make folder in the internal storage

  • The phone is currently unavailable in India but may be available in China at 1799 Yuan(18673.22 INR).

  • Both sim have

  • both sim lte

  • where i get this mobile

  • Ok.thank you very much

  • Both Sims

  • R7 Plus by a mile in terms of battery life. But I like MIUI. So smooth.

  • How's the performance and battery life after lollipop and miui 7 update ? What do you guys think mi note or oppo r7 plus ? :)

  • Does anibody knows wich of two sim cards have LTE capabilities?

  • Does anibody knows wich of two sim cards have LTE capabilities?

  • Not anymore! It's now running Lollipop (MIUI 7) :)

  • great phone,but it still running android kitkat

  • Xiaomi delivers a Be(a)st phone at an affordable price A very good phone. Here are pro's & con's.. Pro's 1. Excellent build quality with metal & glass, and a Beautiful display 2. Though it uses SD 801 with 2.5 ghz quadcore with 3GB RAM it rocks, it can sustain for another 2-3 years 3. Very good camera & video performance 4. Good battery backup, idle time battery drain is less than 2% and stand around 1 n half days 5. Game play is awesome & graphics are well detailed, i played Asphalt 8, real racing & Modern combat5 6. No heating issues, even when playing intense games like above itz under 35-40 degree only. Con's 1. Only white colour is available, but a BLACK would have been beautiful & dirt free 2. Little slippery though have to handle it with both the hands always 3. No headphones with the retail pack, so if u wanna enjoy Hi-Fi get a 3rd party headset 4. Would have been good if pack had a bumper case or a back case like Moto X Style 5. MiUi 7 is still in Android Kitkat 4.4, when other manufacturers are updating to Android 6, Xiaomi z still 2 years back

  • Xiaomi Note do have different models. I bought one with 64GB internal with 3GB ram, fast.

  • For 64 internal memory, no need for microSD card, where you can use OTG to plug in your USB flash drive &or card reader. Curved glass, 3GB ram is definitely out-class many other phones.

  • Does 4G works in India?

  • Go for Mi Note. Just bought the second Note with 64GB. My first one is 8GB bought last month. The first one came with pre-loaded apps which are virus. Found a way to "root" (Xiaomi phone are able to root) and now, just get the 64GB online. Unless you find the phone too big 5.7". 4i is 5".

  • hi guys. how about volume loudness of this model. is it so pathetic as mi4i or mi3. you or is it loud enough?

  • Cqrt slot must be provided..

  • what about the old version of android, is it ok during the next two years?

  • Pls guide me. i would like to update the OS to lollipop. Thanks.

  • Which one is suggested xiaomi note o xiaomi mi4 c all the characters in xiamo mi4 c better than xiamoi note except the camera which the mi 4c is slightly better than not and the fame and plastic cover in 4c. about the performance which one is better?

  • Hi, I quite like the Xiaomi mi note, but isn't it actually a bigger mi4? based on specs everything is quite similar this has got me thinking a lot whether to get the mi note or not, I truly like the design and everything but the specs are a bit of a draw back, because mi4's tech is a bit old already especially with the rapid advancement of technology. With the state of smartphone technology now, is it still worth to get a mi note??

  • hi, can i update the 4.4 android of MI Note to 5.1??

  • Yes. It updated.

  • Hi. Is the OS is upgradable to lollipop? Anyone have updated?

  • Used it from feb 2015..still kicking awesome..

  • I got mine Xiaomi Mi Note almost 3 months ago and works perfectly. It is really fast and has no signs of slowing down as time goes by. Also battery life is really good. It lasts around 36hrs of normal use (My wifi and momile data is always turned on, and is sometimes connected to my Mi band wich connects via bloetooth), and I am surfing a lot. I absolutely love MIUI which is so slick and customizable. I fell in love with it as I had it as custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy 4. Also, too bad there are no shops with xiaomi products, but there are a lot of online retailers such as honourbuy, dealexreme or gearbest that ship worldwide. I am a hugfe fan of xiaomi, and I also have Xiaoyi sport camera and Mi band. I am super happy with these products as well. I think that this is great product, expecially concerning its price.

  • ya i m developing for you raj.

  • I've been using xiaomi mi note lte 64gb since 14 june 2015. Till now everything ok. Battery life is good. It can stand all they long, altought it always connect to mi band and sometimes with cookoo watch (which is always use bluetooth), and often connect to wifi in public area. About the design, so exclusive and lux I think. Hehehe. The 64gb internal memory is big enough. So there is no problem with no external storage slot. If your memory almost full, just plug otg usb. But the only thing make me uncomfort is: if we use the front camera, the cell phone become hot, too hot to put on ear. But, overall, I love this cell phone.

  • i want memory slot on all mobiles........

  • Phone don't have 3G bands 900 MHz and in POLAND if you go to the countryside you will not have coverage H + just plain E :(

  • Does anyone know witch controller is used on the nand flash, and if it supports TRIM?

  • anyone has using? review pls...thx

  • Lenovo is 100% China home grown brand like Xiaomi, Huawei, One+, Vivo, ZTE, Oppo.

  • Hay bro...can anyone (user mi note) tell me about battery life and performance? I wnt to buy but im stil confuse

  • Do you know brother, everything uses in Mobile's- battery, display, body comes from china. But you know samsung that is the reputed brand thats why you are saying that. But check inside the mobile phone, every part from China. You say it modernization to have a such type of mobiles but i think Mobile company makes us fool. At least Xiaomi mi comes from China and we know this fact. But samsung, LG, Micromex, Lenovo ect. hide this fact.

  • Do u know how to do when the phone no power?

  • Seriously? Xiaomi is a far larger and more reputable brand than the likes of Oppo and Vivo.

  • this model not quite good cause it has non special to purchase phone if we spent out such budget looking good and better spec i think there are still large out they like vivo or oppo, sony, samsung range that is more confident than this china made phone who knows batteries would be happen explosion

  • Is it slim phone??

  • Will be start selling in Malaysia in 28th July, Uber user can buy it on 27th July. $407 (Rs 26000) for 64GB version.

  • Actually you can go to your gmail account security part to locate your phone or locked it

  • Great phone, bad that Xiaomi is not in US. But, there are some resellers (wwhich I hesitate to buy from) but at the end I did from www.zorook.com and got my first Xiaomi Mi Note and am so happy now because it works like a charm...

  • As per Xiaomi themselves Mi Note will launch in India 'before Diwali' (their words) This means that the launch will be in September +/- one month.

  • Hi I bought mi note 64gb phone is great in every degre...but battery performance is not good enough for But I have problem with my hand after using long time my hands numbing... I just want to learn just a thing... WHAT IS THE XIAOMI MI NOTE's SAR VALUE?

  • i lost my mi phone yesterday. i have the serial no. is it possible to block the phone so that nobody uses the phone?

  • team xiaomi say that they have big plans for India.... And they haven't launched the mi note yet after 6 months of launch in China. I don't know what the big plans are...they offer us outdated and uncompetitive devices just to derive profits up to the last possible time..

  • Yes you will regret as Mi Note currently selling in Singapore is China specs unit, not meant for global market, the band might not suitable for your country, the google apps also sude loaded, the firmware might still in Chinese, official MiNote for global market not yet launch, try wait a little bit longer for official global specs.

  • If i bought this phone, will i regret it? can you tell the reason? because i'm going to singapore, and i'll going to buy it

  • As I have been impressed by the Note, I now have the Note Pro. I will post review about it in the Note Pro thread. One great thing on Pro is that both sims are now 4G/LTE capable and working with both Globe and Smart 4G networks in the Philippines.

  • Agree, a few months later, this is a great phone to use. Silky smooth, good battery, great camera, looks v good and feels damn good in the hand. Bravo, xiaomi!

  • Update. Now using the phone for 6 months. Its definitely a great phone. Now used up 25gb space and it continues to perform well. Awesome phone.

  • what they say about the smoothness of the surface is very true tho - it has literally slid off a table a couple of times so far before! The good news is, the gorilla glass is really quite strong. After falling a few times from waist height, the only sign of any damage is a thin line (i wouldn't call it a crack) on the side of the screen. Back looks ok. But if you want to get this, should consider a cover to 'unsmooth' it!

  • yes mi note support usb otg.

  • It is otg support or not

  • Hey guys... I wanna know if realy xiaomi updating her phones's android

  • When it is launch in India any please reply we are waiting for very long time plz

  • why xiaomi phones are no avilable in Pakistan?

  • mi.com

  • I've upgraded from xiaomi mi4.. And now i'm very satisfied from the camera, the gps, the contras from the screen.. And mi note rom is more global now.. Not separated like mi4 (china rom and global rom).. It looks nice from the design screen to body ratio and the thickness, the speaker.. Its so much better buying 64 gb phone with the half of the iphone price with a great spec.. Good job xiaomi

  • Xiaomiworld.com is no longer accessable. Pls can someone tell me a reliable site to this phone?

  • is this phone really has a OIS??

  • So far the only buggy thing I've noticed is the Facebook messenger acts a bit strange. Notifications appear fairly randomly. Other than that, the phone is a pleasure to use and clearly better than any other android phone I've used. The camera in particular is almost apple like in quality! One thing on wish list: fingerprint sensor please!!

  • Unable to sync Google contacts rest all features of Google account sycing except contacts

  • Till date Mi Note is only available officially in China, with Singapore & Malaysia coming soon, So you just need to wait for India availability.

  • I sprung and got the 64gb a few weeks ago. I live in a very apple reliant city (Boulder, Colorado). I am very pleased with this phone so far, my biggest curiosity is the overall longevity. Time will tell.

  • I got mine from honorbuy.com, you can also get one from vopmart.com as well.

  • Let's get the bad things out of the way. It is not a natural android phone. It is best experienced as a Chinese phone in China. There are some challenges with getting google contacts synced, Good technology, etc. The similarities with the iPhone 6 plus are staggering - all in a good sense. A very similar great screen, the same high quality build and buttery smooth operations. Two important differences with the 6 plus. First, it allows dual sim cards. Very valuable for travels. Second, it is almost exactly half the price. If you're an Android user like me, its a no brainer. If you're an IOS guy, then you have to think about the switching cost. GSMarena has given it a very low battery life score. This simply isn't consistent with the specs (3000 mah battery with just a full HD screen) and my experience. After using it from 7am till 830 pm, I have 35% battery life left. This is after using it very intensely - texting, Bloomberg, watching videos, taking photos. In particular, the standby battery life is impressive - the battery hardly drops when you're not using it, even with Bloomberg and all the chats updating in the background. In comparison, my previous LG G2 Pro got a better battery score on this site but would be below 20% well before night. I almost didn't buy this phone because of a fear of a bad battery life. I'm glad I did more research and came to my own conclusions. Just one more thing: I'd seriously consider paying up for the 64gb version. It is about $80 more than the 16gb but you don't have to worry ever again about what you download or which video you take and keep. That freedom of mind is worth every cent!

  • Where are you from?

  • I want xiaomi mi note but I don't found official website to purchase mi note so please help me

  • I've gone thru the review given by users and I'm in dilema.about the size n spec.its all ma liking types..the problem is there is no xiaomi care in north east..sud I just order it..or opt for another phone

  • I have it it has no gap whatsoever just perfect finished as my MI4

  • I agree with what this guy is saying... In all the videos which show the back of the phone at an angle one can CLEARLY see that there is a large and uneven gap on the left where the rear curved glass meets the side metal. It's present in all video reviews from whichever site. On the right hand side the gap is smaller but still it's there. This shows that Xiaomi hasn't perfected this difficult design and they will have to redo the dies/manufacturing lines to rectify this problem. Otherwise it will be present in ALL sets just to a varying degree (ie. more on some less in others but present nevertheless)

  • Really? which quality do you mean? can you explain it clearly? i am insteresting to this phone because its cheap price and high specification..

  • i don't know why people give such a hi rating on this phone , i believe because e of its Spec i guess, but trust me i used this phone and the bottom line is build quality of this phone is not that good. even one plus is far more better than this one. for such a hi price of this phone they should build it much more stronger. if you look carefully you can see clearly the gap between the pack part and the main body which is bad because if you keep it in a tight pocket it can create more gap and even your sweet goes inside. and rain the is far away from the question.

  • are there update lolipop

  • If you'd like to get playstore on your Mi Note I'll be more than happy to help as it does work flawlessly and installs very easily!

  • I'm living in China and I use a Xiaomi phone. you can download using any browser through Google search. there's even an international version of the Xiaomi OS called MUIU from the official website, Www.mi.com you can select an OS for any Major country and language. you can even install this most user friendly OS to non-Xiaomi phones .

  • now that's even dumber if you can't download Google Play. I live in China and I have installed Google Play in my phone. even if you don't know how, you can use your phone's browser to searchfor any app and download directly from the browser

  • It is not dumb, as I cant load it either as you need to load google framework first and this is not loading eith, so dont call people dumb when you dont have all the facts.

  • just use google.you will find it.

  • download from where?

  • That's just so dumb to say there is no Google Play. You can easily download and install it if it is not pre-loaded in any Android Phone.

  • lol...

  • it's just awesome..!

  • It is good and I love it. The only issue is that it has not had International ROM and the current one is only for China at this moment. Adding Google Framework does have some issues compared with real international ROM. Just wait for the ROM deployment and it is indeed a great phone. I love it.

  • is this realy true?.. Xiaomi won guinness world record for most phone sold in 24hrs.. they sold 2million phones in 12hrs. that's insane

  • That's not true. I own one and the battery easily lasts 24hours with normal use.lets say it's comparable to the Samsung galaxy note 4. They tweaked it with stellar software to reduce the battery usage

  • How about the xioami mi note heat Issue? is it same with the xiaomi mi 4 and mi 3 ? my brothers used the xiaomi mi 4 dan mi 3 and they got the heat issue, the phone easily became hot if you playing games or watching movies in just 15 minute.

  • Checked if the SMS centre no is filled in. Messages - Settings - advanced settings - SMS Center No. Had same problem when I 1st had my redmi. Can received not sending. Tried entering the message centre# but it get deleted as I exit from the menu. Sent my phone to service centre for repair but they couldn't figure it out why. Took it to my network provider, they register it on diff phone, and reinsert the SIM card into my redmi. And voila! It works.

  • So sorry you bought a chinese version one

  • No google play no english, don't buy.

  • I am unable to send the SMS from my mobile ( MI - NOTE ). Is there any problem in my settings? checked up with the servise provider but couldn't sort out the problem. Any one can help me.

  • Future cellphones dosent need cards.Check out samsung s. More phones will not need card slots anymore.

  • You can download Global Rom from MI's website and install on your phone for getting google services and lay store. hope that works for you :)

  • I m not in china Can i download Google play? What about phone Language? Does it has English language option?

  • no card means useless

  • Very Intrested in this phone and already currently use Aliexpress.com to order knicknacks... I just hope I dont get a phone that doesnt match up to say a note 3 or better but these specs are quite impressive.

  • You can buy the phone from aliexpress.com

  • Malaysia

  • between xiaomi and lenovo s90 which one is better?

  • Hi all, I'm not in China, where can I buy it?

  • I have been using this phone for a month. It's awesome. The specs truly live up to expectations. Only downside is that it's slippery since the back is also glass. Battery lasts for 2 days. That's both data and wifi switched on. Sync is also on. You don't need extra storage for the 64gb model Camera is fantastic and better than Samsung Note 3. Love the age showing when doing a selfie. Processing is flawless due to the snapdragon power and 3gb memory. Lte works with Globe and not with Smart. It's dual sim so not a problem. Agai, aawesome phone.

  • Ya, the phone really needs improved power backup upto three folds, corresponding with the screen resolution density. Micro SD card slot & user removable battery are very much essential features in developing countries.

  • My first smart phone - Redmi 1S When i think to update it, Compared Redmi note & Yureka & selected Yureka. If i go further, the available good options are Mi note & Zenfone2. Definitely Zenfone2 will be will be my next phone

  • They have really bad battery life The 1080p version already has a bad battery life imagine what the 2k version (pro) will be

  • You can run google apps on it. Any android Apps can be used on it.

  • very true

  • This is going to dead phone by the time it comes in the market as already competitors are in the market with more features.

  • I'm impressed by this Xiaomi note model. Xiaomi really making stride on this. From the video, you can see the quality is there. Not really expensive n it's affordable . Looking forward for the launch in Malaysia.

  • dude stop spamming

  • you can easily install google installer and you good to go! i own this beast.....not gonna replace it until the pro comes.

  • I have read numerous places that this phone will not work with networks in the United States. Is this true? Will the phone work with networks in Mexico?

  • 1. Easy to install Google apps / Play Store 2. Simple to switch language to English. MIUI is a great ROM with constant updates and a worldwide support base in terms of languages. I have to say, side-by-side with my Note 4, this thing really does hold its own. Yes, there's no removable battery nor S-Pen which are killer Samsung features but that's the price premium you decide on (or not).

  • Hey Guys, Ive never owned a Xiaomi phone before and i wanted to check in regards to downloading apps does it have a playstore? or can i download the google playstore into the phone? Also, since im not chinese speaking, would there be problems for me using this phone? i mean are there any instances where i wont get the notifications in english? Thanks a bunch!

  • Managed to get one today despite them selling out ridiculously fast in the flash sales (resellers with bots buying stock). Although this isn't the Pro 2k version, next to my Note 4, it still looks and performs really well. I actually prefer the 1080p display as to many 3D games lag on the Note 4 after 5 minutes of gameplay. Need much better GPU and software optimisation before 2K is smooth. And 386ppi is hardly low-res. Simply put, at 43% cost of a Note 4 or 40% of a 6 Plus, lots of people will forgo a heart rate sensor and fingerprint scanner.

  • I'd go rather to lg g pro 2 almost same price and specs yet far better than xiaomi

  • if u are seeking for performance go xiao mi , bcoz , this type has 3 gigs of ram which is better than s5 that only has 2 gigs , the proc type is same snap 801 krait 400 clocks at 2.5 ghz , yet xiaomi has its own special Android User Interface called MIUI , it is more like ios than android i tot , BUT , IF u are seeking for minor perform ( a little i guess ) and a more appealing major looks , people will go like "wow , a s5 , not bad in the wallet) . It is up to you , Just for Information , im a xiaomi mi3 phone , this xiaomi thing just came up to my country (Indonesia) just about 4 months ago , and i ve been using this mi3 since 10 months ago , and most of my friends said , wtf why would u buy MiTo Phone ( a super cheap and low performance phone , China Products , search google for more info ) ?? then after August 2014 , they starting to know what is XiaoMi , and guess what , MY Mi3 has outdated for nearly 1 year and half since it's debut on 2013 , and yet no single lag issues . And For another information , im an ex user of s4 and im using s5 right now too . As i expected s5 still lose to Mi3 although mi3 spec still lack off about 0.2 ghz of quad core procs , yet the performance still much better than s5 , so im going to sell this s5 haha

  • But this phone lacks MHL to HDMI so you can not display your phone to your TV. Wifi Direct is unstable at best.

  • You can look at Mudah.my. The lowest price as for now is RM1659

  • Xiaomi Mi note, sure not S5

  • Samsung Galaxy S5 and Xiao Mi note, which one is better? Pls advise me...

  • Hi,dear friends.Unfortunately very soon I have to say goodbye to you because some don't like my knowledge sharing and factwriting as I follow factwriting gsmArena!!!There's no doubt that China makes the best too with the most rivalless affordable price that has logical reasons!Unfortunately some too stingy merchants when they go to China,they take dried foods and yogurt paste not to spend any money!!!They buy fourth grade disposable devices in truckloads!!!So with the new cases a battery that cost them one tenth of a cent will be sold more than $50 !!!Sad to say these facts!!! By the way!Mi Note is one of the high above average devices made in China in design,features,performance,camera,wifes.2g,3g,a­nd 4g,and other superior smartphone phablet qualities!To be fair and unbiased,this flagship can be considered a high end device with the possible affordable price!!!It automatically goes to my wishlist!Thanks all including gsmArena,s assistances!Justice Rights.

  • Xiaomi pls start doing research.....u will come to know demand is high in india...so release it soon be4 asus zenfone 2 comes

  • just cant wait anymore....pls release in india...we don't want mi4....i don't think anyone is buying mi 4.....all r waiting for this master piece,,,pls release it soon...and price should be 23k not more than that

  • Is xiaomi redmi note 2 has come to india or no..???And whether xiaomi redmi note 2 and redmi 1s are different right..??

  • Why is that most smartphones are constraint to Samsung's envelope? We need someone to think outside the box... Make a panel that covers the entire front of the device and it'll sell like hot cakes

  • This phone reach in Myanmar now with the price of 455$ for 16gb versio.. .

  • Where can buy it at Malaysia? By the way, it only 16GB only? No micro card add in?

  • FM Radio Confirm?

  • Hello guys, I have the phone for several days already and I can tell you - it is an amazing masterpiece from Xiaomi. This is their best quality product - I have a Hongmi, Mi2s, Mi3 and MiPad, but that one is the very best. The screen is first class, better than any display I've seen on a smartphone, processor and RAM are more than enough, front camera is the best ever and the back one is very capable too - even at night photos, very very thin and elegant design and the battery life is more that I expected. Sound quality is hi-end also. I can tell you this is the best phone ever. I've got the 16GB version which has 12.54GB free storage after first boot. Everything about the phone is just great.

  • 16gb version only

  • no is onl for 16gb version

  • The 64GB version costs more currently 3329 RMB.

  • Probably June if not later. The next Xiaomi phone that will launch in India (after the 64gb version of Mi4) is most likely the Redmi 2 since they have discontinued the redmi and need some other model to fill the less than 10k Rs segment (since they don't have any phn less than 9999 rs presently). It is also likely they will launch the 1gb/8gb version of the redmi first instead of directly launching the 2gb/16gb version since they have cultivated a habit of fleecing Indian customers. 16gb/2gb version might launch at 8k with the 8gb/1gb version at the usual 6k mark.

  • No iR Blaster, no Video calling option on the dialer.?????????

  • RM 1699 is for 64 GB version?

  • Xiaomi didn't miss it. They asked their fans what they used in their Redmi smartphone. Fewer than 10% mentioned things like IR Blaster or even NFC. So they didn't put it. Unlike the manufacturer YOU buy from, Xiaomi listens to their customers lmao

  • too bad xiaomi always forgot IR blaster for universal remote control... SKIP this phone

  • When can we expect this ph in india

  • Only rm1699? That's cheap. Rather buy this than Galaxy S5/ Note 4

  • No, it doesn't

  • Does it have iR Blaster? pls reply

  • Does this has NFC?

  • Most likely a very long period of time, XiaoMi is always having a hard time making their phones officially out of their mainland. Mi4 was released in India nearly a year after it was released in China, so you can't really expect the Mi Note to be launched in India instantly after it's launch in China.

  • A great phone. Kindly put more photos for a good review.

  • Direct D selling for RM 1699 only.

  • Huawei has got a brillian idea... for those who prefer dual phone and those who dont need another, they can insert a xd card.... providing this in the facelift model would be great for sales

  • IR-port?

  • hi, its not Note2. It's Mi Note. They have introduced new NOTE flagship series.

  • Now available in Malaysia for RM1888

  • Your English gave me E-bola...

  • Perhaps good. price?

  • Does the phone have NFC and FM Radio?

  • mobiles xiaomi not quality and endless is regiment and Brand xiomi in worled is faceless

  • Resultant?

  • I guess Xiaomi must start thinking about keeping an SD card slot in their higher end models...........

  • unfortunately with no card slot, I think no one will buy 16GB version as as resultant you must add $100 to get the 64GB version. everything good except sd card slot and battery, Redmi Note $200 has bigger battery than this $400 phone.

  • Non removable batt and no sd card expansion? wtf

  • 29 January

  • Phone won't be available in India before Q3 2015

  • when will this mobile will be in flipkart.do any one know the release date of this mobile.please tell me friends

  • this phone will be available on flipkart.com after some days

  • hiii everyone plzzz tell me about its bettery back up and camera performance and hanging....I m planned to buy this...is this available in india. ....and whts it price in india and where I m buying from it........plzzzzzzzz tell me plzzzz

  • Maybe my next phone, I like its design more than Apple and Samsung. Has most of the features. What set it apart is his audiophile features like a ESS ES9018 DAC and the ability to play 24-bit/192 kHz lossless audio from FLAC, WAV, DSD, or APE.

  • Apart form Dual SIM (& marginally bigger screen) what Mi Note has got better than OnePlusOne?

  • 3300 mah

  • Can anybody share the battery performance of xiaomi note2??

  • the pricing is getting higher, with xiaomi mi3 and mi4 the pricing is still reasonable although both phones carry flagship specs. now that they're a bit established they are now increasing their price. very not fair. I'd rather get myself asus zenfone 2 rather than this.

  • A+ for BEAUTY..this is probably the most EXQUISITE looking Phone I've beheld..

  • There's no impossible in Indonesia, the truth is, so many people in Indonesia who have this phone before ueropean get. I'm the one of this people, there's no lucky or unlucky, everyones can buy this phone, whoever you are, whereever you are, there no whatsoever will happens in this possible world. Now...

  • mast features in this phone i will purchase

  • Dont worry it will definitely come to indonesia, only you can only get the phone sometime mid 2016 if you are lucky.

  • My next phone will be .....

  • its a removal battery ?

  • Note 4 + iphone 6=mi note

  • Will this super phone be available in indonesia? Please anyone tell me

  • And high cost of their bureaucracy and big organization as well.

  • talk about battery ?? is it removeable / unremoveable ??

  • I think because those big companies like Samsung and Sony advertised a lot, so the advertising fees had made their products more expensive...That's what I thought.

  • 40mbps

  • this dual sim 4G supported

  • Maximum speed 3g connection.. please reply

  • Sans the Pro version though...

  • I posted that (before it was released, mind you) because I thought it didn't have 4G LTE. So, yeah...

  • OH NO! Then get the 64 GB model.

  • it is 4G that lte

  • pls pls pls..release it in india a.s.a.p.. eagerly waiting for this :-)

  • OMG! Yummy!!!!!

  • NO card slot...OHH GOD what i will do with 16 GB with such high end memory eater specs....?? a big NO atleast from me.

  • Xiaomi, please make it available in Southest Asia!!!

  • Ess audio proccessor and dual amplification TI, sound great :)

  • weak bettery, it needs min 3500mah for such big 5.7 screen.

  • I think Xiaomi not as cheap as people think. They only reduce some of the things in specifications or components so that the price can be cheaper. Unlike major brands like Samsung, Sony, LG, or HTC that provides a comprehensive specifications. That's why major brands are always more expensive.

  • such a value for money product :)

  • I want it so bad!!!!

  • For my Malaysian and Singapore fellows, it's going to be released on the 2nd Quarter this year in our region.

  • yes it is its says its LTE at the top

  • its 4G you dont see it?

  • There is a world of difference between Snapdragon 615 and 801

  • Micromax comes with 2nd graded processor.

  • MI is good mobile company they are understand normal public, they can easy baying this mobile and get better future other brand mobile company. i hope any one Indian compare on MI..... me bi all brand mobile company flop again on MI.....relay.... All my reader friend please talk about this topic

  • micromax yureka is priced just half for the same spec :p

  • to be one of the best smartphone in 2015 xiaomi redmi note 2 will have to 3gb ram and android 5.0.

  • Come on, Xiaomi... You need to put 4G in this phone to put up a fight against Meizu M1 Note!

  • 15th Jan release in Beijing, China

  • If these rumors are real...I will buy this redmi note 2

  • make 4G :(

  • it will be released in china around 15 dec...In india it will be released around July...
