Value, but not without cost

Xiaomi's wallet-friendly Redmi 2 offers great value for its price, but only if you're willing to accept the many trade-offs.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Smartphone Review
4.5

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and an Adreno 540 GPU, 6 GB of RAM and storage options between 64 and 256 GB. The smartphone is made to impress. The moment you open its box, you are met with the sight on an enormous screen, an elegantly designed case and a beautiful user interface named MIUI. The whole package is completed by numerous sensors and Sony cameras. The aim of this review, however, is not to be blinded by the device's impressive technical specifications and gorgeous looks, but to put the smartphone through its paces and see how it compares to its competitors.
