我要评论Xiaomi may not like being called a copycat, but it's hard not to make the association when its latest flagship, Mi Note 2, looks a whole lot like a Samsung Note7 wrapped in the iPhone 7's signature polished black finish. 。
But this update to last year's lauded Mi Note is interesting because it brings, in Xiaomi's typical fashion, better specs than the competition, and at a lower price. 。

The Mi Note 2 is powered by a Snapdragon 821 chip, running at a slightly faster 2.35 Ghz to the Note7's Snapdragon 820 at 2.15 Ghz. Taking things up a notch, the Mi Note 2 comes with a 128GB storage variant running on 6GB of RAM -- similar to a souped up Note7 that was rumoured, but never came to fruition before Samsung declared it dead. 。

The series 7 aluminium frame Mi Note 2 also comes with a large 4,070 mAh battery (the Note7's is 3,500 mAh) and quick charging 3.0 technology, which is touted to juice up a phone four times faster than regular chargings speeds. 。
And in a big leap forward from its previous devices megapixel-wise at least, the Note 2 bumps up the camera to 22.56 megapixels -- but it axed optical image stabilisation (OIS) for electronic image stabilisation (EIS). 。Credit: MASHABLE SCREENSHOT/XIAOMI/YOUTUBE。
Xiaomi has also solved one issue that stood out in last year's Mi Note -- where Note users were restricted to 3G speeds overseas when roaming, the Mi 2 now comes in a version that supports global 4G bands. 。
The Note 2 will continue to come with NFC support for contactless credit card payment, as well as public transport payment in China. 。
And just a few months after the iPhone 7 debuted in the sold-out jet black colourway, Xiaomi's Note 2 will also come in a similar polished black finish it calls "piano black". You can get the Note 2 in a mirror-like "glacier silver", too.。
