Design and Display
Xiaomi does not take much care about the design, they concentrate on the selection and combination of the hardware and software. But that does not mean they launch the handset without fixing the edges, body and make. Company knows that if they want to catch the user’s attention they need to introduce the handset according to the current tradition. According to the tradition Redmi Note also has a thin bezel. The phablet measures 154 x 78.7 x 9.5 mm by edges and carries 199 grams weight. This is a bit heavy handset and the phablet has huge bezels according to the measures but the bezels and the weight suit the handset because the handset already has a big display. The phablet is made up with the glossy shiny plastic and the plastic body keeps the handset away from the dust and other stains and easy to clear the hand prints from the handset body. Because of the plastic body handset has a low weight.
The phablet has a 5.5 inches IPS with 720 x 1280 pixels resolution. The phablet provides a massive working area as screen to the users and users can keep enjoying the phablet features easily.

There is no doubt that Android operating system is easy to use and consumes less power to start and performing the function of operating system. Xiaomi Redmi Note also uses Android OS, v4.2 Jelly Bean as default operating system but Xiaomi gives the warm glow to the interface. They attached the operating system with their own designed Xiaomi MIUI user interface. The efficient and colorful user interface is same as Apple interface. The Xiaomi interface offers more than 20 themes built-in on their interface and the phablet allows the users to enjoy the easy operating system as Android and colorful interface as Xiaomi MIUI to their maximum extent and enjoy the full features of the phablet.
Processor and Memory
First we saw the octa core processor in Samsung’s smart phone. Now Xiaomi Redmi Note is also featured with Octa Core Processor. This is the eight core processor and there is no doubt that the processor has the fastest working speed. The phablet comes with two options; one with 1.4 GHz processor and the other option is 1.7 GHz Octa Core Cortex –A7 processor. Mediatek MT6592 chipset is working inside the handset with Mali 450MP4 graphical processing unit. The phablet is available with 1/2 GB RAM options. Users can select the RAM capacity according to their choice. 8 GB on board memory is constant with both options. The in-built memory can be extended externally up to 32 GB via micro SD card. Well the phablet processor, RAM and on board memory is well enough to support and download the heavy games file, performing multi tasking and watch and download the movies as well.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note has a respective 13 mega pixel rear and 5 mega pixel front facing camera. Camera provides 4128 x 3096 pixels to the images and has an autofocus and LED flash feature. The front facing camera is well enough for video calling and the rear camera fulfills the requirements of digital camera completely, and gives the super fine quality images to the users and makes the images of the user’s special for them.
Without any confusion and doubts the phablet is equipped with many good features but there is a drawback with the phablet. The phablet is energized with Non-removable Li-Ion 3200 mAh battery. The battery is powerful and provides the sufficient backup to the phablet but unfortunately the battery is non removable and if anything happens with the battery users need to replace the complete phablet instead of battery.
