Xiaomi has launched the much awaited, Mi Note 2 at the'Curved to Impress' event in Beijing. The phone is a stark deviation from Xiaomi'sdesign language so far. The most noticeable difference being, a dual-curvedscreen, much like Samsung's Galaxy Note 7.
While we expect the company to deliver similar performance,Note 7 won't be an ideal to stick with. The 'two-sided curved design' willincorporate a 3D curved glass which does not sport a Galaxy S7 Edge like curvebut definitely gives the illusion of a bezel-less screen.
