Xiaomi MI-2 - 4.3-inch iPhone-style Phone with Quad-core Processor & Android OS v4.1 (Jelly Bean) Based MIUI Custom ROM

Xiaomi MI-2 is a newly released mid-range and ultra high spec Android smartphone from Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi . It is now in stock and available for purchase from MobiCity, Australia's most popular online mobile phone store.

The phone exhibits a stylish and glossy iPhone-like design with curved corners featuring a large 4.3-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. The screen supports multitouch function, offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 342ppi that ensures sharp display and colours.

Xiaomi MI-2 runs on an MIUI custom ROM that's based on Google's Android OS v4.1 (Jelly Bean). The customization provides an elegant user interface with an iPhone style apps layout across the home screens instead of regular Android app drawer. MIUI even has a notification alert system very similar to that of iPhone's. Since it is a customized version of Jelly Bean, some Google features such as Google Play are not included in the MIUI by default, however, can be easily downloaded and installed for free from the phone manufacturer's own MI Market app store. Once Google Play is installed, you can download from its huge database of over 700,000 apps.

The device operates on a 1.5GHz Quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor along with a huge 2GB RAM. This helps in providing excellent multitasking and super smooth browsing without any lag. 3D gaming is supported, thanks to a built-in Adreno 320 GPU which also gives graphics acceleration for movies and apps. An 8MP rear camera with LED flash covers all your photography needs.

Other important features and specs include - Full HD 1080p video recording, 3G & Wi-Fi connectivity, English language support, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, themes with unique lock screens, SMS filter, caller blacklist, network monitor, voice assist, 2MP front cam and a powerful 2000mAh battery.

Xiaomi MI-2 comes with a 12-month local warranty. It can be purchased now from MobiCity.
