What else is hiding behind the bonnet of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2? Let's find out together.
The Mi Note 2 is the first Xiaomi device with a curved display that in coupling the curved back cover (like in the mi5) creates an amazing dual-curved effect making the metal frame really thin and perfectly centered.
An official theme has already been made to take advantage of the curved side of the display.
With a suction cup and by leveraging the clasp it is possible to lift the backcover that shows the elements for heat dissipation on the surface.
