This is the cheapest phone with Mediatek Helio X10 processor, with PowerVR G6200 Graphic chip.
Other phones that have the same processors:
HTC M9+
HTC E9+
Meizu MX5
Sony Xperia M5
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
LeTv S1 X600
Some has higher clock rate variant.
But at this price, this Redmi Note 2 seems is the best deal, almost half price, with Micro SD slot, dual dedicated sim, 4G, removable battery, Full HD screen.
Real life performance wise, it is just a bit slower than the Snapdragon 800 powered device. (not 801, not 805)
For me, this is the much better phone than Xiaomi Mi4i, Meizu M2 Note and Lenovo A7000 Plus. Closest clone to this phone is Lenovo A7000 Plus, but I prefer Xiaomi more than Lenovo, simply the Xiaomi feel more like a flagship device in term of overall hardware and software quality.
Had samseng and just previously 2 lenovos. Don't like their ui and their phone they roll out. Decide to try rn2 when my previous lenovos condemn. Worth it so much. It's snappy and smooth. Just this battery abit letdown but otherwise not bad really. Now lenovos announced the k4 note to fight. I just wait n see
