A THOUSAND readings about the phone can NEVER equate to a DAY of handling it,like I said you're the last person QUALIFIED to pronounce any VERDICT on this PHONE..
In my case, just a few reading does qualify me.

I heard the this phone does not make calls for long and calls have whistle-like wailing in the background. It's not a network issue or noise, it's just the phone.

Not true, phone calls can be made for as long as one wants to.

Call quality is very good. It's clear, loud & audible and has enough bass. There is no static sound in the background either.

I have made a direct comparison of the phone call quality & audibility with Tecno Phantom A+, Tecno Y5 and Elephone G5, all of which have decent call quality and the XRN2 is better.

I have suffered through phones with low, metallic, wispy call quality like Leagoo Lead 1 & Doogee DG350 so I know what I'm saying.

Your description fits the call quality of Infinix Hot Note/Hot Note Pro which is loud but metallic and lacks bass.

GsmArena has a complete review about the phone,maybe you should check it out and compare its to its nearest rivals like the Meizu Note 2 and Lenovo K3 Note..

Well, if you mention Gsmarena review about the phone, then you should know they had nothing good to say about the battery. 47hrs endurance on dual SIM and 49hrs on single SIM. Plus 7.30hrs of web browsing (via WiFi which takes less battery) and little above 6hrs for video playback which means the battery is a disaster. They also went on to highlight that it's surprising that the bad was so bad meaning that xiaomi has some more optimization to do. Androidauthority simply called it a disappointing battery life.

From
GSMArena:
It's really simple with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. Probably one of the most affordable phablets to get - and by no means cheap in terms of design and hardware.



What actually do you want from a phone below 200 USD?

There's also Xiaomi Mi note since you don't like Redmi Note 2.


My advise to you is to go buy Tecno phantom 5.


No harm meant.

Its a $140 phone,if you want a Flagship grade phone,you should be ready to fork out at least $600,the same GsmArena,if you are not nitpicking has mostly positives to say about the phone based on its price point,and from a personal experience it's not the worst battery life I've seen either..I'll also refer you to Phonearena;BEST phones to buy in 2015,BUDGET segment..

Battery Optimization is a software issue which can be fixed and is being fixed by Xiaomi with their periodic updates,apart from that ALL the REVIEWS I've read have nothing but MOSTLY glowing points to say about the phone's User Experience..

Now there is "apart from that" in your defence? But earlier on all of you claimed the phone is 100% perfect.

That something is budget doesn't mean it should give you below par experience. Otherwise the "budget" tag on it is abused. It should be able to give what high ends will give, then it will be affordable in order to qualify as budget.

Show me a phone that is 100% perfect and I will show you a phone that doesn't exist..every phone has its quirks,the ISSUE is,is it enough to mar the overall User Experience especially factoring in the price point,AM using the phone and if given a chance to buy it AGAIN at its price point I'll still do it all over again,that is greatest endorsement I as an OWNER can give it..

I read the Androidauthority Review on the phone,sure they pointed out a few CONS of the phone,but just like EVERY OTHER review out there about the phone,the overwhelming impression they got was of a SOLID Performance for its price point,compared to similarly priced devices..
And seriously if you expect to get a Flagship grade performance from a budget device I bet you nothing like that exists,corners must be cut somewhere to arrive at its budget price or maybe you should name ONE such device for me..

Buy it again and again under what levels na? Can u use Google apps without any headaches? NO. Can u use the phone for 4hrs without running helter skelter reaching for charger to charge again? NO. What guaranty do u have on the screen? None. Put the phone 2geda with money in ur pocket, bring it out and see scratches on the screen. Reviews say the helio x10 processor lagged in some games and became very hot after a short while. So what exactly is that special thing? Or you're just trying so hard not to make urself feel bad about your money?

Am using ALL the Apps I've been using in my previous phones without any problem,so I don't know what you're talking about,and on my usage pattern I've got no problem with the battery,not the WORST I've seen either..
I've got a tempered screen protector installed and so can't say anything about the phone's scratch resistance,and I don't know of LAGS while playing games,it plays MY games EXCELLENTLY well and neither GSMArena nor Phonearena reported any excessive heating while using..
I bought the phone and am enjoying it,you on the other hand came here made a LOT of noise about buying it,can't AFFORD it,turns around and start BASHING it,dishing out VERDICTS out of thin air,it would have been funny if not pathetic.. MMADU ANAGHI ABU OGBENYE BURU AMUSU..

You can say that again and again. I can't afford the luxury of buying headaches for myself. Somebody here one day suggested you guys contribute money and buy for me. I'm still waiting for that, at least I can manage it like that since it's free. Otherwise, I'm still going to be bringing out my facts about the China phone. U use all your apps from your old phone, who knows the apps you had on the old phone. Who knows whether U've been using xiaomi phones all your life and have been accustomed to their mi store and their funny mi apps and bloatwares.

For starters, I'm not obsessed with your shity phone. And talking about superior, I'm actually using a superior phone. I currently use LG G3 and wanted to buy this xiaomi cos of the fuss about it(so u see, I'm really not desperate about replacing my phone; just looking for an addition which I can live without). Then because 45k is not what I can just throw away like that, I decided to read about the phone and eventually found out the phone is not worth it. Those foreign online reviewers calling it budget phone is cos they are actually getting it at a low price unlike what is obtainable here. If not that Kulimart was greedy earlier and wanted to sell to me with a leather pouch that I don't need, maybe I would've wasted my money. And for me coming here, I'm trying to make ppl know what they're getting into before paying.

It's now clear that you do not have money to buy this phone. I beg you, stop disturbing us. My advise to you is to travel to China and buy it yourself.

When you have money, place an order on our website and we will ship to you.

Once again stop disturbing us.
