Yesterday we dedicated our comparative to the two phablets with the largest display of Xiaomi, but we do not want to miss the opportunity to also face the new phablet with a frameless screen with which it was presented on the same day, whose technical specifications are somewhat more modest, but which also sports a rather striking design: Mi Mix 2 vs Mi Note 3.
Integrated
As we have just anticipated, the design is a very interesting section in our comparison, because on one side we have a phablet with a front without frames, and on the other one with very reduced side frames as well and with a visually very attractive curved glass back cover. . It should be noted, in this sense, that in addition to different aesthetics we also have different materials, because in the Mi Mix 2 the housing is ceramic. Both also have a fingerprint reader, although the location also changes, one is on the front, while the other is on the back.
Dimensions
In the dimension section, logically, the front without frames of the Mi Mix 2 plays a lot in its favor and, despite the fact that its screen is much larger, we find that it has a size similar to that of My Notes 3 (15,18x7,55 inch against 15,26x7,4 inch), although the same does not happen in the weight, where the second does have an advantage (185 grams against 163 grams). Regarding thickness, which is a factor that is usually kept independent, we do find that they are practically even (7,7 mm against 7,6 mm).
Screen
As we just said, the most notable difference is in size (6 inches against 5.5. inches), and although the resolution of the Mi Mix 2 is somewhat higher2160 x 1080 against 1920 x 1080), the result is that in density of inches they are quite close (PPI 403 against PPI 401).
Performance
This is a point where the Mi Mix 2 yes it gets ahead of the My Notes 3, which cannot surprise us because it is one of the best equipped with the catalog of Xiaomia Snapdragon 835 eight core to 2,45 GHz y 6 GB RAM memory. The My Notes 3 It can boast of tying it in RAM, which is not bad at all, but it mounts a somewhat more modest processor: a Snapdragon 660 eight core to 2,2 GHz.
Storage capacity
They tie again in terms of storage capacity so that here, rather than tipping the balance from one side or the other, it is convenient to note that with both we will have a fairly respectable internal memory, with 64 GB, but that we are not going to have the possibility of saving space externally, because neither of them has a micro-SD card slot.
Cameras
In the cameras section, curiously, it is probably the My Notes 3 the one that attracts the most attention, since it has a dual camera 12 MP, with aperture f / 1.8 and optical zoom x2, while in the Mi Mix 2 we have a conventional camera 12 MP, with f / 2.0 aperture. It also beats the smaller phablet when it comes to the front camera, with nothing less than 16 MP, compared to the most common 5 MP of the other.
Autonomy
Regarding the real autonomy of each one, we will not be able to say anything until we have comparable data from independent tests, but what we can say is that they are quite close in battery capacity (3400 mh against 3500 mAh), which should play in favor of the My Notes 3, whose screen is much smaller and, therefore, it is foreseeable that it will consume less.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 vs Xiaomi Mi Note 3: final balance of the comparison and price
As we have seen, the great points in favor of the Mi Mix 2 is to leave us a larger screen in a body of similar size and mount a Snapdragon 835, while the My Notes 3 you can highlight your camera and hopefully greater autonomy as well. The design of the two is very attractive, although the first is perhaps more spectacular, but this is already a matter of the preferences of each one.
Get hold of him Mi Mix 2In any case, it is probably something more complicated and certainly more expensive, because its starting price in China is already significantly higher and, indeed, this is reflected in those that we are already seeing in importers and that tend to rise from the $500, while those of the My Notes 3 are below the $400.
