Xiaomi goes after Samsung Galaxy S6 buyers with new Mi Note Pro

Investigate the configuration and inner segments of Xiaomi's Mi Note Expert and you may believe you're seeing a Samsung World S6. Xiaomi's most current top of the line telephone offers numerous similitudes with Samsung's leader, for example, support for high-determination sound playback, a fast charge battery and quick LTE speeds.

One thing it doesn't share is the cost: when it goes discounted in China one week from now.

Interestingly, Samsung's Cosmic system S6 can cost about twice as much, contingent upon the territorial business sector. By one means or another, Xiaomi figured out how to make a telephone with current top notch details for what some may pay for a strong mid-range handset.

Here's a run-down of the new Mi Note Pro internals and features:

• 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor
• 4GB LPDDR4 RAM
• 64GB eMMC 5.0 flash storage
• 5.7" 2K (2560 x 1440) display measuring 515 PPI
• Sunlight Display technology for unparalleled outdoor visibility
• 13MP camera with optical image stabilization (OIS)
• An LTE CAT 9 radio for up to 450Mbps download speeds
• Hardware-optimized Hi-Fi audio for incredible sound quality
• High-capacity 3090mAh battery, supports Quick Charge 2.0 (charges up to 70% in 1 hour)

If you had provided me this list of specifications and then asked about the price, I would have estimated a minimum cost of $600. I suspect Xiaomi's profit margins on the Android device are slim; a planned strategy to boost market share.
Still, depending on demand for a large-screened device such as this in China -- and if iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sales are any indication, the demand is there -- Xiaomi will likely bolster its number one sale ranking in its home country on the back of the Mi Note Pro.
That's bad news for Samsung, who was overtaken as the top smartphone seller in China last year by Xiaomi. Samsung's market share
