Doubtless Xiaomi Mi Note 2 was one of the most loved smartphones of the brand: powerful processor at that time, unbeatable value for money for the time and among the first to have curved edges. Currently a few units are still around but sure, looking for this completely new device is a challenge. This is a four-year-old device after all. But if we told you that the prototype of this device, at the "modest" figure of 19.999 yuan? It is about 2500 € approx, price at which it currently only sells Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha.
Check out a prototype of Xiaomi Mi Note 2, pink, gorgeous, but at 2500 €. A museum piece for sure, but at what price!
The device was found on Xianyou, a well-known portal (part of Taobao) for buying and selling used products. The user who owns it states that it is the prototype of Xiaomi Mi Note 2. To justify his statement there would be an abbreviation behind the body and a rather unlikely color. As for the color, we know that there were three variants sold: black, silver e ice color.
This instead, sold at the figure of 19.999 yuan, it is colored pink with alphanumeric code reported behind the body. According to the owner it would be proof that it is precisely the first prototype. Furthermore, in the description, there are some features that were not typical of the original device.
Let's talk about a SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (instead of the original Snapdragon 821) and one Samsung screen with 2K resolution (instead of 1080 x 1920 pixels). In reality, the devices in possession of this user, which have attracted the attention of 20000 people in a few hours, are two: one pink and one White, both with code numbers on the back. What we see on the right instead is only the shell front, which we are no longer used to seeing as current smartphones are mostly full screen.
Tell us yours: would you spend € 2500 for a piece like this? We assure you that in China the amateurs of the brand would be willing to this and more.
