The Mi Note 3 is already in the pipeline and it is fair if you are holding off buying a new phone because of it. For those who are not crazy about using the phone with the latest features, but want a device that can still hold its own, then the Mi Note 2 is a great choice.

For the 618 promotion, Xiaomi announced a ¥200 reduction off the price of the Global Version bringing it down to ¥3299 ($483). Now that the festival is over, it has announced a ¥300 price cut for the base version with 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM. This brings the price to ¥2499 (~$366).
