And not long ago, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Antutu* score was revealed, partly helping prove that the product Xiaomi introduces this time can become the first choice in its kind. So, how many points to be exactly?

Specifically, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 was able to score 48,983 Antutu points with a 5.5-inch FHD display, a MediaTek MT6795 or MT6795T octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, and either 16GB or 32GB ROM. In addition, a 3,060mAh battery and a combo of 13MP rear and 5MP front-facing camera are also important parts of the machine.
