Xiaomi today announced the higher spec’d brother of the Mi Note: the Mi Note Pro outshines the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 in looks, specs, and price and heaven knows what else.

5.7” 2K display (2560 x 1440 at 515 PPI)
4GB LPDDR4 RAM, 64GB eMMC 5.0 Flash
LTE-CAT 9, up to 450Mbps download speeds
Price: 3299 Yuan | Approx Php 23,700.00
