The back cover, although not intrinsically glass has a finish Corning Glass 3 Gorilla curved, without risk and highly resistant to breakage.

2 – Hardware and Design

The Xiaomi Mi Note presents a seemingly fragile construction, to be quite thin, but which is of great robustness. The structure is completely metallic and extends to the side frame, bringing elegance and quality added to the smartphone . The back cover, not removable, is smooth, glossy and coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, with curved sides giving it a sublime touch. The lateral metal frieze is very thin but wide enough to accommodate the volume buttons and power, which by the way have a little slack (something which is not the Mi 4, even after several months of use).

The back is completely smooth, without even having a boss due to camera 13 MP. This means that smooth over smooth … has a severe loss of friction. As for example with the Xperia Z3 Z3 and compact, the Mi Note also has “life” when it is left on a very smooth surface. When we least expect, the smartphone is jogging alone, slowly, and about to take a nasty turn. Be warned.

Given the screen size, the total size of smartphone is greatly reduced thanks to the thin bezel around the screen. As an example, the iPhone 6 Plus with 5.5 “screen is slightly higher dimensions to Mi Note, which has 5.7″ screen. Having regard to the size it is, it’s amazing weigh only 161 g, even considering it has only 7 mm thick.

On the right side are included all physical smartphone buttons: on the volume, just after the Power. On the left side is the slot to the micro-SIM and nano-SIM cards.

Above is the entrance to the headset jack of 3.5 mm and the microphone for sound capture stereo in video recording. Below is the speaker and the micro-USB port. Unlike Mi 4, the Mi Note has not emitting infrared remote control to serve.

The screen is well balanced color reproduction at all levels, with good visibility in direct sunlight. Corning Gorilla Glass protection has 3.

The resolution is 1080 x 1920 pixels (FullHD) in an IPS screen, one can say that it is still appropriate for the screen size of 5.7 “. The pixel density is 386ppp, something that fits the highest standards of clarity in the presentation of content. Considering for example the LG G3 5.5 “with 538ppp or Galaxy Note 4 5.7″ with 515ppp (both resolution 1440 x 2560 pixels), noted Mi is significantly lower on the density but this brings no visual negative impact, on the contrary, because the performance of the entire device exits benefited since the resolution is lower than the process.

Below the screen are included tactile buttons Menu, Home and Back. At the top are the typical light and proximity sensors, the call receiver, the front camera 4 MP and the RGB LED notifications, this higher intensity that the LED on the Mi 4, who sins by being loose.

On the back is just 13 MP camera and dual-LED flash Chroma.
