Like the Galaxy Note7, the Mi Note 2 also features a 5.7-inch screen with dual curved edges on the front and back. That said, is the Mi Note 2 a worthy Galaxy Note7 alternative? Let’s find out.

Based on the summary above, the Mi Note 2 already has a number of advantages over the Galaxy Note7, notably the larger 6GB RAM, internal storage, and battery. It also appeals to those who want high-resolution imaging with its 22.56MP and 8MP cameras, and better audio quality with its HD AQSTIC sound tech.

The Galaxy Note7, on the other hand, has some worthy features absent on the Mi Note 2 like microSD card expansion and IP68 rating. In addition, it has an S-Pen, iris scanner and a heart-rate sensor.
