One of the best phones from Xiaomi to date. It is rightly called Beauty and the Beast.It has an Integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. Slightly optimized architecture compared to the Adreno 530 but with higher clock speed due to the new 10 nm process. At the beginning of 2017 one of the fastest graphics cards for Android-based smartphones.

Integrates 4x Kryo 280 at 2.45 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 280 at 1.9 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X16 LTE modem, ac-WiFi and a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller.
This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. The colors are crisp and sharp. In spite of the growing popularity of Mid-range smartphones, Mi Mix 2 has still huge fan following.
Redmi 7
Redmi 7 is the latest budget smartphone from Xiaomi. The successor to Redmi 6-series, which launched in India almost six months ago, comes with several upgrades including design improvements and better specifications.
It comes with SD 632 with decent clock speed. It can be considered equal to undercooked SD 636. It has a 4,000mAh battery, 12-megapixel, and 2-megapixel dual rear cameras, and expandable storage up to 512GB. Very few phones at the price point or cheaper can match this set of specifications.
Gone is the boat-shaped iPhone X-lookalike notch on the top. Redmi 7 comes with a tinier and less distracting dot notch on the front. Coupled with a 19:9 HD+ display, Redmi 7 catches up with the latest phones similar to screen design layout. The back panel has now a glass-like finish. The black color may not be the best looking one, but you can consider the Comet Blue and Lunar Red color variants as well. Those who are looking for a fabulous phone in the range of Rs 10000/- this phone will surely be their first priority. Within a few weeks of its leaks, this device has created a great hype around the budget phone market. More will be said after its stable MIUI update.

Only a couple of months ago Xiaomi introduced the top performer of Note series.one of the best Note phones ever.
It comes with 2 GHz octa-core, Qualcomm SDM675 Snapdragon 675 Processor which is the most powerful processor of the mid-range segment. The phone has a sleek and glossy look that makes it a wonderful choice in the price range.
The device’s screen is 6.3-inch FHD+; 2340*1080 resolution which again is hard to think about in that price range. Not only that it does full justice with its powerful graphic. It can play fortnite which its competitors cannot.
Also if we talk about timely updates, Xiaomi does full justice with the device giving stable updates as it has promised.

Redmi Note 7 Pro (Space Black, 64 GB)
Redmi Y3
Xiaomi has all but carpeted India with affordable smartphones. This selfie-focused phone from Xiaomi is also a great multi-tasker and video shooter. Designed for Selfie lovers in India.
Undoubtedly, this is a premium-looking phone. The 1520×720 HD+ display is warm, if not bright. With 269 pixels per inch (PPI), the display is sharp and detailed, aided by a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 octa-core processor makes the Y3 an efficient multi-tasker. Most games can be played on this device without glitches.
Now, the main attraction of this phone: the 32 MP front shooter, aided by an f/2.25 aperture lens. The selfies look natural and sharp. The lens does a neat job in negotiating the ambiance and the images do not look doctored at all. The image processing is fantastic. The group selfies are pretty detailed and you can use focus features on the selfie camera as well.
The camera works well even under low-light conditions. Other phones with these specifications don’t do that well in dark. It stumbled only under really dark environs like if there is no source of light but if you can find a decent light-source aiding the frame, you may not be disappointed with the results.
The selfie screen flash with auto-adjust color temperature didn’t make much improvement to the photo, and the selfie beautification features are the same you see in most similar phones.
At last, I will say it has great design, premium display, good battery, impressive selfie camera. Its awesome in its price range and this device is surely a good successor of Redmi Y2.
