Xiaomi Mi2

A flagship phone for the Chinese market, the Xiaomi Mi2 is a fully featured Android device. It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but with a twist — it runs MIUI, a custom AOSP ROM and popular with the Android hacking community. The Mi2 comes with 5GB of free cloud storage, has a voice assistant feature (similar to another popular smartphone) and the camera has an f/2.0, 27mm wide-angle lens to take 1080p video or 8MP stills.

  • Status: Available
  • Availability date: October 2012
  • Price at launch: $314.00

What You Need To Know

  • The GPU inside the Mi2 is as powerful as the one that powers the Xbox 360
  • MIUI (the Android skin this phone is running) features a design similar to Apple's iOS, but is still highly customizable in Android style — there are numerous custom widgets, themes, and even lockscreens
  • The version of MIUI the Mi2 runs was compiled from the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean release of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)
  • Despite its high-end specs, the Mi2 costs a low 1,999 Chinese Yuan (about $314) unsubsidized and off-contract
