Detailed review
The second device of Xiaomi, it has the finest hardware,when it's released in august but now still attractive, and the MIUI built in is based on the android 4.1(jelly bean). The screen looks amazing, definitely better than many other flagships. It look much better than the xiaomi one and one s both from outside to inside. Honestly, it's not as good as the iphone5 or the droid DNA, but considering to its price(RMB1999,$300 for 16GB) ,it's good enough.
