Xiaomi Mi4i weighs 130g and being 7.8mm thick, while Meizu M2 Note weighs 149g and being 8.7 mm thick. The differ in weight will not be felt much, but sure we can actually tell which one is thinner upon using.
Xiaomi has 5 inch display, and Meizu M2 Note has a 5.5’’ one. Though having a bigger screen, Meizu M2 Note has the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 p as Xiaomi’s screen, so its pixel density is lower. Therefore, Xiaomi Mi4i will certainly produce better quality images.

Performance

Xiaomi Mi4i sports a Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615, Octa core processor for its CPU and Adreno 405
As its GPU. Those chipset and GPU are considered better than M2 Note’s MT6753 and Mali-T720MP3. However, Meizu M2 Note comes with microSD support, while Mi4i does not. It will be a pain thinking of buying the Mi4i without any way to upgrade internal storage. Therefore, it is somehow a tie between the two.

Camera
