Xiaomi redmi note 2 launched with mediatek chipset mtk helio x10. Seems mediatek is taking over in a harsh way, and snapdragon has been hit hard.

Specs and write up.
Xiaomi just dropped a bomb that changes the landscape of affordable phones, at least in China: the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is official and it comes with a shockingly low price of just $125 (799 yuan), yet it is equipped with the most powerful MediaTek chip, the Helio X10, that you find on devices that cost multiple times as much.
The 5.5-inch Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 features the signature Xiaomi design language with various color options and will be sold in a 16GB and 32GB versions (the 32 gig model is slightly more expensive, with an official MSRP of 999 yuan or $155, and will be clocked higher).
First, here is an impressive list of the official Redmi Note 2 specs:

As at when posting this, 155 US dollars = 30852.7500 naira.



Xiaomi just did the undo-able, not because of the specs of the phone being launched, or the fact that its being launched by one of the top selling brand in the world just coming second to the Samsung phone making firm.
But for the obvious fact that the redmi note went for mediatek chipset instead of the "Snapdragon" all hailing chipset, the outstanding choice of mediatek chip chosen, the unbelievable specs and hardware used and lastly, the unimaginably affordable price of the device.

Though I will not be in haste to call this a flagship killer or anything of sort, but this is way above the midrange device department and only fewer phones can boast of a better performance than this incoming xiaomi device with antutu benchmark score according to Xiaomi redmi chief Chun Lei crossing the 50k limit of most mtk devices. This is what I call a milestone achievement, and it was worth mentioning,

Because soon, Android users would not have to dig a hole in the pocket to afford great performing devices.
