The Xiaomi Mi2S is the current flagship phone from Beijing based phone maker Xiaomi. Gizchina reader Colin Anderson based in Ireland has put together this excellent review of the 1.7Ghz Snapdragon 600 powered phone, find out what he thinks below!
The rear camera is 13 megapixel (as this review is the 32G model) and the front 2 mp. The camera is the only area of this phone that I feel slightly disappointed with. This may not really be the fault of the phone itself though and rather a product of my very high hopes.
Xiaomi Mi2S Review
this review sums it up. i recently bought one for my girlfriend here in Beijing, china. the phone feel a bit bulky compared to my Galaxy S3: smaller screen, thicker. The phone feels fast, I didnt use it much myself, but i love the MIUI interface. it just look so clean, pleasant, and convenient. the battery last a solid 2 days.
I bought it thought the official website, and it was a chore. first you have to register and enter your phone number, for a reservation. then, they send you a chinese text message, now you can go online to buy it through your registered account. when i got the msg, one hour later, 2 out of the 3 available model were soldout (mi2a, and mi2s 32G), so i bought the mi2s 16G. but the price was 1999yuan (333$).
We've updated the way we benchmark Android phones, with a couple of thoughts in mind. Firstly, we wanted to show performance in context of hardware you might already own, not just the latest and greatest devices we've reviewed recently. So for that reason, the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the international version of the S3 (as sold in the UK) are added alongside the existing Tegra 3-powered HTC One X.
Now in version 3 (or more accurately 2.5), the Mi Mix 2S is almost indistinguishable from the Mi Mix 2. The phones are the same size, with our review sample measuring 158.674.98.1mm and weighing 189g, with the same 5.99in display and 3400mAh battery.
The Mi2s was not for sale in regular European or US sales channels. There were one-offs being sold on Ebay or other platforms but I did not trust that. Some online reviews indicated there were fake Mi2s being sold with slower chipsets, so it seemed better to play it safe and buy from a source that guarantees you get the genuine product. I ordered my phone through Ibuygou, a Chinese vendor.

It's safe to say that Tegra 4 hasn't been the overwhelming success that NVIDIA had hoped for, nor able to continue the momentum that Tegra 3 built, so winning a slot with Xiaomi MI3 is a relatively big deal, even if Xiaomi's slice of the Chinese market isn't very large yet. The TD-SCDMA variant includes Tegra 4's 1.8 GHz ARM Cortex A15 4+1 architecture with 72 core GeForce GPU built on TSMC 28nm HPL. We've written a lot about Tegra 4, and got a chance to look at performance in the NVIDIA Shield review and came away impressed with performance in that platform. Of course the real interesting question is how Tegra 4 will perform in platform with smaller TDP and available platform power. Xiaomi claims relatively similar performance between Tegra 4 and 8974AB variants in a few system benchmarks as well. If we get the chance the MI3 might make for an interesting vehicle to compare the two SoCs in almost the same platform. 2ff7e9595c
